I am taking Sterlings side

over his girlfriend. I usually don't care about stuff like this as many people of all races oftentimes do or say things that are racist or biggoted. I get that he is a public figure in a way but these were private comments.

I just listened to the conversation and read the transcript for the first time. It is clear to me sterling was baited the entire time and the girl did it on purpose to use it against him in some way at some point. She knew how to push his buttons and was very calculated in what she said. She is evil, pure and simple. She is supposed to be his GF and care about him, but I have zero doubt she intentionally tried to drag as many racist comments out of him intentionally. I had a crazy ex, as many of us probably have, that baited me to start a fight when she wanted to fight. This was worse. This very bad person (IMO) started a fight on a topic with the express intention to harm sterling.

I cannot take her side and I will consider his comments in the context they occured and how they were almost professionally extracted out of him by what I consider an evil person.

I'm sure my opinion won't be popular and obviously sterling is concerned about his "reputation" and believes society in general and specifically within the circles of wealthy white men he runs in views blacks in particular as somehow lesser. Yes, that is wrong and cowardly of him to care so much of what his "peers" think, but I can't get over how the comments were drawn out of him by someone I now view as evil and manipulative.

Btw, I would still probably bang the hell out of her though. She is hot.
