Clippers owner racism row

The guy has always been a racist. All this has done is fully expose it to everyone now. Especially the younger players in the league.

The Clipper organisation has to convince him to get out now, for their own future. How are they gonna recruit FAs now? How many of the guys on this current lineup will demand a trade if he is there next season? I'm guessing quite a few.

Regardless of whether he was being "set up" or not, he has been exposed on a grander scale and deserves every bit of crap coming his way. Good on that golddigger moron for doing it to him, couldn't have happened to a more deserving douchebag.

Racism is not a good thing, but I think there's a lot to the story that we are not being told. There's no need for it, and it's dumb for a businessman to alienate a group(s) of supporters.

The tape seems to be a recording of a phone call. I think in the US now there are laws in relation to taping of private calls without permission. (That's the reason why that great show Crank Yankers had to stop!) Did she ask for his permission to tape the private phone call?

In addition, seems he is no longer seeing the GF and suddenly the tape seems to be released. Was there any form of blackmail prior to the tape being released?

The tape appears to be a setup and a PR disaster for the NBA and the owner.

Call in a good PR firm.

I don't think they will get rid of him; guy is a billionaire and will sue the shit out of them if they try (he has threatened the NBA with it before and they backed down). Plus the other owners won't want to set a precedent of being forced to sell their team. I reckon he will get some form of suspension, maybe a fine and some 'counselling' and then it will all be forgotten again.

yeah nothing private about his racism. This is just another example of his stupidity.

The NBA should have got rid of him a long long long long long long time ago.

Baron Davis basically said that knew about it and play above it.

NBA don't like bad PR .....perhaps we can put the hat around here and but the LA 'Hoops.com.au' Clippers?

I'll put in $100 to start.
