We are back in the spin zone. If that interview or tape never happened Sterling would still be in power. It was the catalyst to them finally "caring" but not too much to actually try and rock the boat.

Silver took a tougher stance than the team did.

I think he meant it doesn't matter how long it took for them to stand up. The point is that they did. Like OKB said, you guys focus on the wrong things.

At some point someone has to stand up. Why should it matter when they do it?

Im done derailing the thread doe. I feel like mr. Marcus (the niketAlker) :lol:
 
So this Warrior Clipper game will be a good one

Hopefully its competitive even with cp and jj out
hope it is man ..

are they ruled out for sure already or is it game time decision . 
 
how was donald sterling being a virulent racist for years irrelevant in any way??

James Dolan is effectively condoning sexual harassment by putting Isiah Thomas in charge of a woman's basketball team. Should people boycott the Knicks for that?
 
The point Should be that they took a stand. Not that they waited until it was well publicized to make the point. Thats why it's irrelevant.
 
It was well documented that sterling was a racist for decades yet these guys only make a stand once it's mainstream.

But you're the same dude who said Thabo shouldn't stand up for himself after the police broke his leg. We know where you stand on black issues.
Lawsuits being a waste of time and money has nothing to do with black issues, I would feel the same way if he was a Martian
 
What stand did they really take though? They could have had a far greater impact than they did. Just look at the Mizzou football team and they aren't getting paid.
 
im not into political issues  or issues like that when it comes to sports. i dont look up to pro athletes  as role models or super heroes ....

So before the V. Stiviano recording came out, if you were a basketball player who had worked your whole life to get to the NBA, and the Clippers happened to draft you, would you have refused to play for them because of who the owner was?

I probably would have taken the pay check and played too. That money is life changing not only for you but for your family.

I'm just not willing to put the Clippers besides those Olympic athletes and others who paid a price for speaking out. They went against the grain to take a stand. The Clippers went with it. Different level of sacrifice.

Agree with that. I'm not holding that Clippers team out as having made a huge civil rights gesture. But they at least did something when faced with a very difficult situation and agree with the people who say they shouldn't be mocked or belittled for what they did.

The bottom line is that Sterling is finally gone.
 
Please don't bring this into the NBA thread. There's 10+ threads on the first two pages of general for this.
 
You guys ever wonder how steve kerr is like big boss and luke is like venom/phantom snake?

fand mark jackson is the boss but dies/fired and is nothing more than words on tv, like the boss was nothing more than an AI with no face?

maybe ros gold is like meryl and she wants the D off the strength of luke's ability to be a passive leader.

Wow! Take all my reps bro. Kojima would be proud.
 
MGS V was such a disappointment. I can't even get motivated to play it. It's gonna be my "play when I have nothing else to play" video game.

The only disappointing thing was there were a few things left unfinished. Thank the idiots over at Konami for that. The Nuke disarmament thing online is genius though. Will probably never be achieved but still cool.
