If he's standing on a street corner at a bus stop, yes.

If he's an NBA owner, see today's press conference.

I'm still laughing at some racist white man telling a young half black woman not to take pics with black men, bring them to games. Old fart trying to tell her it's not right, etc when he's old as frick messing with a mixed race girl. But I guess it's ok for a white man to date a minority but not ok for a minority to go out in public with black men. Glad the old fart is gone. It's 2014!


I have this feeling that he simply doesn't want his gf hanging out with tons of guys and bringing them to his place of work. Thought he made it obvious that Magic and others are perfectly respectable people in his eyes.

I don't agree with the guy, but who you like or don't like is a CRIME?


No one said this. Sterling isn't being arrested.

He didn't go around his office saying anything. He had a PRIVATE conversation illegally recorded. Again, I don't like the guy either, but regulating morality is ludicrous . Where does it end? Was it ok that Isaih hated Larry Bird? Yes it was ok....he's entitled to his opinion and so is this idiot.



No shite, i was making an exaggerated point

Any person in a high position of power would have faced the same thing, whether people agree with it or not

How many hours yall think Silver talked to his daddy Stern on the phone over the last couple days?



Considering he did something Stern never had the cojones to do I'm guessing that's not where he went to seek council

True. We're not allowed to say certain things on facebook, post certain pics, etc. Can't start rumors or do anything negative that'll affect the business or we're gone.



Yea, hell companies these days will check your facebook pictures to see if they should hire you or not. You got a bunch of pics doing keg stands and taking shots and the other guy doesnt, you prolly wont get hired if all other things equal. Not saying every company does this nor am i saying its the right thing, its just the way it is

Following that logic....if you are a NBA owner, you must love ALL races, anything short of that and you risk being banned for life! That's ridiculous. Just think about how stupid all of this is? Is there even a single incident where this owner did anything bad to any player personally? No....nothing. STOOPID

Then you don't know what to tell me. The only difference is which race made the comment.

Well a major difference is he signed a franchise contract in the association to own a team so there is that.

You dont have to love anybody, you just have to view all people of different skin color in the same way (if you dont then dont tell anyone)

It's obvious that not a lot of lawyers are posting in this thread.

Did Isaih Thomas say he doesnt like white people, or that he doesnt want his family or someone hanging around white people? Saying you dont like Larry Bird is completely different

It's not about loving races. Don't go around singling out a whole race of people because you're mad you're minority half black girl friend wants to hang with black men. Then you're trying to tell her what's right and wrong in the eyes of other racists. But you're white/married and dating a minority and telling her it doesn't look right that she's hanging with black people. Yes get that old fart out. What kind of backwards thinking is that. White man hangs with mixed race girl in public ok? Mixed race girl hangs with black people....not ok...don't look right, etc. Wow. People defend this man??

I wouldnt say they are defending him, they just cant comprehend the difference between an owner of an NBA team making negative remarks about an entire race as compared to billy bob the plumber making a racist comment while watching a football game

Yes I'm sure we have some in this thread that came over from Political Talk and O-T lounge. Not about to look at 30+ pages but I know the usual suspects that post in racial topics. They sit and wait for those types of topics.
