Report: Clippers owner Donald Sterling caught on tape telling his girlfriend to not bring African-Americans to 'my games'


By Kelly Dwyer


TMZ revealed a recording early Saturday morning of what it says is Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling pathetically admonishing his girlfriend for “associating” with African-Americans – apparently she made the major mistake, in Sterling’s eyes, of posing for a photo with Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson, a photo she later uploaded to her Instagram account.

It's a shocking and infuriating 9½-minute bit of tape that should embarrass the NBA and force new commissioner Adam Silver into action.

According to TMZ's recording, Sterling went on to chide his girlfriend, who is half-African-American and half-Mexican, for bringing African-Americans to Clipper games, even if those guests in question were of exalted status as Magic is, and even if she’s never done as much.

The recording is an absolutely depressing listen, to say the least. Here are some of the snippets, according to TMZ, from Sterling, who told his girlfriend V. Stiviano that he feels “very strongly” about her “broadcasting” the fact she briefly spoke and posed with a very famous black man:

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30)


-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)


-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)

Donald Sterling is the NBA’s great shame, and now a major media outlet apparently has him on record as telling a woman – one that he obscenely disrespects throughout the entire exchange – that he doesn’t want African-Americans coming to his basketball games. Whether Sterling is sadly mixing up his words or only referring to Magic Johnson personally, or jealous of the brief attention his much younger girlfriend (Sterling is still married to another woman, mind you) received isn’t the point – the point is that the NBA has to do something about its biggest problem.

This is indefensible. Sterling’s treatment of this woman is execrable enough, but the clear intent of his message and what’s simmering just underneath what he actually lets out should be enough to force what has previously been a spineless league (regarding the Clippers' owner) into action. The Clippers could boast a lily-white roster and coaching staff, that part barely matters in relation to Donald Sterling – owner of an NBA team – being taped telling someone he doesn’t want African-Americans at his basketball games.

Fight with his girl, heat of the moment, jealous as hell – it does not matter.

This is Silver’s first great task. He’ll have to balance the interests of a small team-owning few versus the respect of hundreds of millions. This, like Donald Sterling, is a no-brainer.

Even if they were private messages to his slut GF, he's gotta be smarter than that...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

His racism has been well known for years, but it will be interesting to see how things play out.

Still, TMZ should stay away from broad pronouncements about the makeup of the staff. Elgin Baylor was GM of the Clippers for years, and Doc Rivers is their coach, so calling it "lily white" is somewhat ignorant of history.

Sterling is, and has been, a major problem in the NBA..

That was the first thing I thought of, but he is a business man, and they usually have the ability to compartmentalize between business and something personal.

Since his girlfriend is more of a personal issue, his true colors came out.

I'm trying to find the word to describe the way his brain works. Is it irony? I don't know.

He's dating a mixed woman, Mexican and black, who probably has very little white ancestry and gets mad that she associates with.. Other black people?

"In her entire fucking life!" He's ok with her hanging out with blacks, loving them, and even fucking them.. But for God's sake don't put them on "your Instagrams!" For the world to see.

And he's ok with her fucking Magic Johnson but just don't publicize it LMAO

What a weird, weird dude.

Wow just when you thought the Clippers were actually going to become relevant. I remember being younger, reading the sports page every morning, checking the standings, almost always LA Lakers at or near the top, LA Clippers at the bottom, if they were lucky near it on rare occasions. Back to those days. Well maybe not for the Lakers lol.

[Simply Red]

this guy is completely insane.

[damaticous]

Wait!

Wat is this NBA you all speak of?

[GloucesterChief]

Sterling is a known racist, cheapskate, and slum lord.

Just like Schott, the league can't make him sell the team. They just have to hope that he dies off and the next owner is better.

It worked for the Blackhawks when Bill Wirtz kicked the can and his son Rocky Wirtz took over.

[Bugeater]

Apparently they both have a pile of issues, sounds like a match made in heaven.

This is horrible. I wonder how they got this recording.

Hamas is right that it's a bit weird because this guy has been a complete scumbag in every possible way for decades. There's really nothing in this that's a surprise. I guess the viral nature of news today has something to do with it.

There you go. And these are just the horrible things he's said. He's always been this way. He's done a lot of horrible things to people. There was that case a few years back where one of the Clippers employees had a serious health problem... I think cancer, but something very serious, and he refused to pay for treatment. So some of the Clippers players threw money together and paid for the person's health costs.

There it is. An assistant coach had prostate cancer and the team refused to cover treatment costs because then "they'd have to do it for everyone." A bunch of a players got together and put up $70,000 to cover the surgery.

Didn't MLB ban Schott for her anti-Semitic remarks?

[underEJ]

I remember the Danny Manning in LA when I first lived here 90-92. So fun to have my favorite Jayhawk in town, even with the injury. But, I could never have been a Clippers fan in general because of that fool of an owner. I would hope the current Clippers players have some pull to finally get the NBA to do something about him, but I don't have that much faith. They have always just let him get away with it.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Pretty sure he posts regularly in DC.

[jAZ]

this guy is completely insane.

I disagree.

Cliven Bundy is the rural, unpolished face of racism. Donald Sterling is the modern, properly groomed face of it.

I was talking to my dad (70) about this the other day. He agrees that Cliven Bundy is racist and I think he feels that he's mostly crazy because he's so public about his racism. Sterling is racist too. But perhaps less crazy because he's not willing to be public about it.

But that's the nature of racism today. We are all more media savvy about how we speak about race, almost regardless of our views. As a result, racism looks much different today than when Bundy, Sterling and my dad were growing up.

So they don't see race and racism in the same way that a younger generation might. To an older generation, racism is separate drinking fountains, seats on the bus or even slavery.

Racism in modern 2014 looks a lot more like Donald Sterling, who seems to be dating a woman who is herself a mix of two minority races. And a lot less like the Clive Bundy who puts his paranoid fears on national TV for everyone to witness.

Report: Schott Being Forced Out As Reds Owner

Daily News Wire Services
POSTED: October 22, 1998
Marge Schott will soon sell her controlling share of the Cincinnati Reds under pressure from baseball's top officials, the Cincinnati Post reported yesterday.

Schott's two-year suspension from daily operation of the team, as punishment for remarks about Asians and working women, expired with the end of the World Series.

According to recent reports, baseball officials have been leaning toward extending her suspension so Reds managing executive John Allen can continue running the team.

Now, baseball officials are expected to announce Schott has signed a letter of intent to sell her interest in the Reds by the end of the year, the Post reported, citing unidentified sources.

[ThaVirus]

That makes some sense jAZ.

It's almost like he's in denial as well.

One second there's no problem with her hanging out with, loving, and even fucking black guys behind closed doors, then it's not ok to do it publicly, but when she asks what's wrong with it he says there's nothing wrong..

Really flip floppy.

[Bowser]

I really do find it hilarious that such a racist piece of shit would choose to live in Los Angeles and own an NBA team. Irony of the highest degree. But that article of him not wanting to pay for the cancer surgery just makes him a disgusting human being on top of all the rest.

I think technically speaking the coach was using an out of network doctor, or something of the sort, but still... that's the kind of guy he is.

He's always been that way. There are tons of examples of him being notoriously cheap. He once played with the 8 man minimum even though one of the players was injured or had some kind of surgery. For years he used to make the stat guys short change his team on assists at home games. On and on.

He was also coming into a huge huger tv deal. He wouldnt have been broke for long. There is a clause when buying a MLB team, that if your detrimentall to the team, the owners can vote and can force you to sell the team.

I remember listening to espn L.A almost everyday back then and they had all kinds of people former MLB employee's talking about this. Yep, he ran them into the ground, but this may be on the same level. What Sterling said was bad bad bad. Especially in todays sensitive ass world.

People who think that way generally don't lead the vanguard for civil rights in their industry. We know Marcus Allen hated Davis and vice versa. So I'd like to hear a few more sources before I take that rumor at face value.

I love how all of Twitter is calling for the Clips players and coaches to take a stand yet none of them will call them out for taking this asshole's $$$ when the opportunity was presented.

Ridiculous again. Al Davis was well known for taking care of players both monetarily and personally. He was a players advocate all through his tenure. Dislike him and the Raiders all you want, but don't make him out to be something he was not.

It may be hypocritical, but it's not surprising. There is much higher institutional homophobia in the black community than the white community, in part owing to the black community's greater adherence to the tenets of conservative interpretations of the Bible.

I bet she's the one that recorded that convo. At times he was wanting to stop talking and she'd keep it going. She was baiting him into some things. Not that he needed to be baited. He was saying plenty of disgusting shit on his own.

Sterling is not alone out there. Does it really take an 80-year old bigot getting entrapped by his gf for all of us to be appalled of such discovery?

Maybe he will have to sell and some swinging dick can bring them to KC

Clippers are playing shortly. The players have staged a minor protest, flipping their warm-ups inside out.

[kccrow]

Definitely some racism, and a whole lot of crazy fuckin old man. Holy shit, I could hardly follow his thought process.

I don't believe she is a weak person at all. I believe she's a gold digger who was ready to move on to someone new and on the way out decided to hem the guy up for all the racist shit he's said to her while they've been together.

I bet she's the one that recorded that convo. At times he was wanting to stop talking and she'd keep it going. She was baiting him into some things. Not that he needed to be baited. He was saying plenty of disgusting shit on his own.

Either way, dudes a douchebag.


This.

[Valiant]

It is funny because he was going to receive a award from the naacp for his help before this incident. Now they are not presenting it.

funny, it furthers the truth. Everyone is fine with it as they are getting money. But now they have a problem with him, even though he has past history with this.

Why don't they Really protest by not cashing those Phat checks for a few games? :doh!:

This protest ranks right up there with Rosa Parks....... not.

[Just Passin' By]

Where are all the cries for tolerance of different viewpoints?

OK, what does that mean? I see what they're doing, but how does that say, "racism sucks"? Other than not showing the team's name, it has to be one of the weakest protests in the annals of time.

"No Don, I want you to keep that paycheck. We are going to protest tonight by playing for free!"

Dumbass.

The point is - don't play. If they are That upset by his comments and the racist work environment-refuse to play (as a team) the next game. That would have been more of an imapact the throwing their jerseys in a pile. Even if they threatened not to play it would have shaken things up more than what they did. :doh!:

well play offs they pretty much play for free. The monthly checks for the season have already been cashed in. I think they get like 50 grand for play offs or something. Maybe not even that much.

Uhm....it's the NBA playoffs. They're chasing a championship. There are better ways to show your displeasure than to essentially forfeit a game and quit on their fan base. Turning your T-shirt inside out is much more realistic.

[wazu]

The protest is weird, but I haven't heard or thought of a better idea. Really, doing anything like that makes a very loud public statement of disgust with the guy who signs the checks. I can't think of a similar situation.

Pretty sure they didn't play last night. They may have been on the court, but there wasn't much playing going on.

[GloryDayz]

I wonder when the guys calls in a group of high priced call girls to suck his cock, spread eagle, take his load, and beg for more to make himself feel better...
