Its been a few weeks since the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA after his racist comments hit the net. It seems like every day there is something new coming out in the Sterling coverage, from new developments to now even his wife Shelly is joining in on the controversy.
Last night Sterling went on CNN and just made things even worse by talking very badly about former Laker legend Magic Johnson. Now I won’t repeat what Sterling said because it was offensive but its clear that there is nothing Sterling can say or do to make this situation any better. It would be best for everyone if Sterling just went away but it seems very unlikely now.
Here we have Donald Sterling, a 80 year old man who isn’t going to change. Him and his wife have had previously been under heat for discrimination before and now they want to pretend like none of that happened. The Sterlings have both went on television and have acted as if they haven’t did anything wrong and will try and fight in order to keep their ownership. Nobody wants that to happen and really nobody wants them around anymore.
Adam Silver did the best thing possible by banning Sterling for life. I don’t even care about the 2.5 million fine, I’m just glad that their getting him out. Hopefully the rest of the owners vote him out as soon as possible. The more that comes out with this story the worst this story gets.
