I cannot understand this guys logic, or anyone who thinks like him. Irregardless of their skin color. And we have them that think that way, and they come in all colors. What really gets me, is the guy

Here's a question: How is it that Mr Sterling has been discriminating against minorities for years and the NAACP was in the process of giving him a lifetime award? Minorities are unwelcome at his apar

Please stop it, NBA players shouldn't be making insensitive remarks, but Sterling's views of other human beings as an employer is unacceptable.  If this were a player, the League would have already fu

All I can say is as long as you " boys" keep winning & packing the house, I'll keep paying you, but "you" aren't allowed in my arena without a uniform. Please don't bring your Black friends or Family. Obviously these are my words, but this is what I heard. As a Black man I'm not offended by this guy Sterling because Cowards usually handle things in this manner. What pisses me off is this bogus explanation. What's worse in the NBA knowing this Slave Master hasn't & won't change his views of Minorities or non whites. Our Black community has had it's share of Leaders or Role Models, but they are a far cry from being Great as Dr MLK or Muhammad Ali. Dr King died for his cause, but believed his kids would see his DREAM. GOAT Ali served time in jail, had his Titles stripped for his beliefs. All this was done so I can volunteer as a Coach, work a job my grandfather couldn't, vacation in places my family wasn't Allowed, send my kids to schools my Aunts & Uncles couldn't Attend, and even ENTER doors that were & ARE still CLOSED today. So this gesture the Clipper players displayed was very WEAK. So to All you parents who love these Athletes & your kids look up to them, have them Google ALI. You may not agree with All he has done in his life, but when it was time to take a STAND, he did it and did so ALONE. I won't make excuses because I'm about growth & change. As much as things have changed, the more they are the SAME. I'm not ignorant to the fact that Racism is alive & well, but I also know that there is Much more work to do to Raise awareness of Racism. America: what does that mean to you???

I don't agree with much he says but this is one of his wiser quotes.

 

"When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk. That's what happened here," the President said.

Silver can't really do much other than sanction him, it will be up to the other NBA owners...


This is true. Silver can fine and suspend him but not much else.

The other owners have to unite and force him to sell the team. If he doesn't agree to sell, this will get pretty ugly from a legal standpoint.

Yeah, he will have a real hard time finding coaches or players or any other staff for that matter that will work for him.  Not to mention fans not going to the games.  Plus any lawsuits for discrimination that will probably come up.

@MySportsLegion: State Farm's CEO confirmed on ESPN radio that they are pulling all sponsorships off the Clippers, in response to Sterling's comments.

@BlkSportsOnline: BSO: Will The Clippers Receive the First NBA "Death Penalty"? http://bit.ly/1m10GmG via @KelDansby



Must read. Very interesting.

 

Doubtful.  No reason to penalize the players or coaches.  They will probably do what they did to Marge Shott, Ban him from being at any games or the offices until the team is sold.

Well said, Dove. Dove, would you care to guess with which political party this individual is affiliated?

so naming a political party makes this situation better or worse? I HIGHLY doubt the NBA Commissioner, owners and players give a damn about what political party he may be affiliated with.

      Waco LaVega is about equal to Hitchcock in speed and size.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Goslin · Posted

      You’re the one talking about Elementary school kids.  What I’m saying is that there are kids who play Jr School ball in GCCISD and then transfer into BHISD/GPISD/LPISD/DPISD between 8th and 9th.  Doing so means no PAPF/eligibility questionnaire and they get to play Freshman/JV, work out with the team, etc. and look homegrown because they transferred before freshman year.  it’s a loophole.  All the big programs do it.  That’s why the UIL rules changes, to close up the 8th-to-9th transfer portal, and it isn’t even taking effect until Aug 1 2025 so you’ll see these transfers this summer. Also, as far as BHISD being closed instead of open, just look at the GCCISD transfer numbers I posted.  GCCISD loses twice as many kids to BHISD per year, the “closed” district, than they do to the open Districts in the area.  Anyone who lives here knows folks who’ve used MeeMaw’s address to get their kids in there.  It is what it is and if it wasn’t, UIL wouldn’t be changing those rules and sending one of their own to the DECs now would they?   Go ask Coach Abseck how many kids in his program are 8th Grade transfers.  We know that at North Shore that number is at least 20% because of the numbers they had to provide UIL during their recruiting investigation.  I’ll bet BHISD’s numbers are AT LEAST that.  Again, THEY ALL DO IT.

      According to Texas Tribune, Gccisd, Laporte and deer park are all rated B. Barbers Hill is an A. GC has a higher 4 year graduation rate than LP or DP. BH is far and away the best district on this side of town. GC has a much higher percentage economically disadvantaged at 71.7% with LP being next closest at 52%. Surprised that GC is performing so well considering. All of the players that would likely make a great football team are out by GCM and Sterling. If GCM had Lee's coach and dropped back down into 5A division 1, they would be able to compete very well against BH and LP. I don't know what their problem is with getting the athletes to gel into an actual team. Lee still beat them both this year and was sort of a down year by Lee's standards. Lot of injuries some kids moved out of district and they are paper thin as it is.
