I'm disgusted by the entire situation.

I kind of wish that it were practical for the players to boycott, but I'll accept blatant tanking just the same.

Tanking hurts the players as well as the owner. It's not their fault the owner is a racist.
 
Sterling shamelessly ran the Clippers like garbage for decades while cashing checks. He doesn't care what anyone thinks, I don't believe he will relinquish the team unless FORCED to and it's hard to see how they could pull that off, as despicable as he is.
 
I can't see the league rescinding ownership. It is even possible legally and Sterling probably has top notch legal team.
 
I hate that the solution is here is to give a racist scumbag a warehouse full of money.

He is a scumbag no doubt, but it's simple economics. He owns the team, so the only way to get the team from is to buy it from him somehow. He's not going to gift the team to anyone while alive.
 
I don't think it's surprising that Magic's organization would want to buy the team. I haven't looked at their net worth in a while, but I can safely say that if we rounded the Clippers up to a billion, it would be a drop in the bucket for them.

According to that article they have a net worth of over $200 billion.
 
How does the draft in the NBA work, out of curiosity? Can draftees pull an Eli Manning and refuse to play for a certain team and force a trade?
 
If Magic buys the team, I hope he does a rebranding/overhaul of the Clippers logo, similar to the Nets when they moved to Brooklyn.

He should pay Orlando a ton of money to take their name.

Edit:

On a serious note apparently State Farm is pulling its sponsorship of the Clippers.

Thanks, sponsors. This should definitely force Sterling to sell. If he can't get money from advertisers and it looks like he'll ever huge penalties from the league, I think he'll have no other choice.
 
Just saw on Twitter that State Farm is pulling it's sponsorship of the Clippers, and others are doing the same
 
I wonder what happens with Chris Paul in that matter. I mean could Kia pull its sponsorship too even though it deals with Blake Griffin?

Yeah. Pulling the Cliff Paul ads seems like it would be an abhorrent amount of bullshit but at the same time, the climate is so toxic that I could see State Farm and Kia wanting to distance themselves from anything Clippers-related for now.
 
HIs mistress has been pretty stealth since the tapes came out

R & B singer Tank has joined the boycott against Donald Sterling ... REFUSING to go ahead with his plan to sing the National Anthem at Tuesday's Clippers game.

Tank tells TMZ, "As an African American man and artist, I must take a stand on a matter that is so deeply personal to me."
