The Race Card

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@jadande: 1 player asked me: if Sterling feels that way, how do the rest of the owners feel about us?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@CraigSagerJr: Donald Sterling's comments r not just an embarrassment to humans/the NBA, it's an embarrassment to every living thing to ever walk the earth

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@NOLAnews: Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling should be ousted as owner; league should seize franchise and sell to... http://bit.ly/1kgVpmV

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@AlexKennedyNBA: Some teams aren't allowing their players to comment on the Donald Sterling situation. Needless to say, some players aren't happy about that.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@ESPNNBA: Adam Silver's full press conference addressing alleged racist comments made by Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Behind the scenes I think Silver is thoroughly pissed at this situation and rightfully so.

I have a question. Sterling is a idiot and should be banned from the NBA. I have always respected Charles Barkley, but the comment he made during halftime could be deemed as racist also. He stated "Blacks" own the NBA. What if the role was reversed, would a "Black" person deem that as a racist comment?

I'd like the opinion of Steve Nash on this particular matter with the NBA owner........And not Dartmouth Univ.

Completely out of line.  No place for that kind of talk under any circumstance.
 Dove, now that I have responded, let me know what you  think of the Dartmouth situation.

Black people don't listen to Barkley, so why should you?

They still could have had the fundraiser. Just change the name.

Barkley doesn't play nor has any role with any team in the Association, not sure how you would handle him. He is an analyst, totally different role/job under a boss not named Adam Silver. As for his comments I didn't find anything wrong knowing it came from him and the context he was stating his opinion in. Shaq also.

@hillharper: "Elgin Baylor and Baron Davis had warned people before that Donald Sterling was racist. This is not new news."-M. Wiley

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@BillSimmons: Baron Davis went on @briankoppelman 's podcast recently and had some not-so-fond Donald Sterling memories. http://youtu.be/dt45cHbudv4

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@Baron_Davis: That's the way it is...He is honest about what he believes in..Been going on for a long time, Hats off 2 the Team.. 4 playin above it all.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@D_West30: Sterling basically articulated Plantation Politics...Make money off the Bucks/Lay with the Women/No Association in Public good or bad

This is sad of Clipper players and fans during a great season. The NBA needs to figure out how to legally handle him and get rid of him in a manor to be least distracting through the playoffs. Racism is alive but the fact that a league and a nation can and will rise in protest and potential force a mega-million owner out says that we are gaining ground on racism.

[BMTSoulja1]

Even President Obama made a comment about this idiot.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

I was very shocked that Baron Davis interview was BEFORE this current Sterling mess popped off. Would not surprise me if Silver pushes the issue like MLB did with that idiotic owner of the Reds and got Sterling up outta here. Im sure other owners that feel the same way Sterling does are re-evaluating their thoughts right about now.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@jemelehill: The LA-NAACP gave Donald Sterling a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AFTER he settled his racial discrimination lawsuit.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@ESPNNBA: Donald Sterling will no longer receive a lifetime achievement award from the NAACP.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@WojYahooNBA: People rightfully wondering: Why in hell was NAACP honoring Sterling? Always been told this: His game ticket donations rewarded w/ photo-ops
