Not a SHUKC topic but what are your thoughts on the Clippers owner situation
I agree with a lot of what Steven A Smith and Mark Cuban said. We are all bigots in one way or another. I am guilty of it myself in that I turned on the TV Sunday night on HBO and saw Julia Roberts in a movie. I forget the name but I like her as an actor. The movie was about AIDS in the 80's etc so a lot of homosexual content to the point that it was basically soft porn. My wife and I decided to turn the channel but I was a little turned off by that on the surface as HBO used their most powerful night of the week to show that to America. So let me get to my point on Sterling. The guy was in his house and to the best of my knowledge he owns it and if we are going to go into peoples homes to record and then hold what is said against them then that is not cool to me. If he chooses to be a racist and post it on the jumbo tron at a Clipper game then that is a problem but some gold digger recording him saying these things is not cool and people should be careful. If a black player is caught or recorded at home making derogatory comments about a white person would he be banned from the league? Slippery slope. I don't agree with what he said or how he feels but honestly I don't care enough to see him lose his business. If you think he is the only owner in sports that feels that way you are kidding yourself. I have a unique perspective as well as a mixed individual. I know equally racist or bigoted black people as I do white. I have heard just as many black derogatory comments as I have heard about how white I am. Speaking very honestly more fights over my white mom than being half black. Ok I may open a door on this one.
