Now Oprah might want to buy the clippers

The race to buy the Los Angeles Clippers — assuming Donald Sterling is forced to sell — just gained its biggest name yet.
On Wednesday, Oprah Winfrey became the latest celebrity with deep pockets to throw her hat in the ring. According to ESPN.com, the TV superstar and a pair of well-known rich friends are interested in buying the Los Angeles Clippers should the team’s exiled owner be forced to sell.
“Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Clippers should the team become available,” a spokesperson for Oprah told ESPN.com’s Arash Markazi.

Geffen, a billionaire media executive, has attempted to buy the Clippers before, reportedly offering $600 million to Sterling for a majority stake in 2010. The creator of two record labels and the Dreamworks film studio has an estimated net worth of $6.2 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
“I’m a fan. I bring something to the table, it’s fun and I can afford it,” Geffen told ESPN. “I live in L.A., that’s one thing that makes it attractive.”
Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle and third-wealthiest man in America according to Forbes, has been trying to buy an NBA team for years, expressing interest in the past in Grizzlies, Warriors and Hornets.
On Tuesday, Oprah spoke to TMZ and addressed the Sterling situation, condemning the Clippers owner and exclimating “the planation days are over.” She denied interest in purchasing the team at the time, but said she loved the idea of Magic Johnson owning the franchise.

I heard the richest guy in LA wants to buy them. I doubt she will get approval of the owners.

This will be horrible for anyone watching clipper games.
every game, at least 10 times during the telecast, they will pan to:
Oprah and her gay lover Gayle or
Oprah and her gay friend/live in Steadman

It seems like I've only heard of black people wanting to buy the Clippers. Are they treating this like some kind of civil rights movement?

A lot of people are just running their mouth about buying. They only ones who mentioned buying the team and can actually afford it is Oprah, Magic, and Dr. Dre.
