5 Biggest Reasons Barbara Walters Really Blew It With the V. Stiviano Interview (Video)

The Wrap ^ | 5/2/14 | L.A. Ross

"Stiviano said during the interview that Sterling only asked her not to bring black friends to Clippers games because he'd gotten pressure from others who thought the company she kept looked like “gangsters” or “thugs.” If those critics are people within the Clippers organization, investors or sponsors, or Sterling's peers in the National Basketball Association, it could indicate a deeper, systemic problem of racism and discrimination that merits investigation."

This version by Stiviano is slightly different than what I have perceived to have been presented so far. The version being presented so far is that Sterling didn't want her to bring black people to the games. Stiviano explains in this interview that people were pressuring Sterling to tell her not to bring black friends to the games who presented the image of being "gangsters" or "thugs." Now if this is true, then Sterling could be said to have been trying to clean up the image of the NBA as being associated with "gangsters" or "thugs."

I bet she didn’t even ask her how much she was trying to extort from Sterling.

i will be SOOOOOO happy when this silly cow's 15minutes are up...

"1. When Sterling said “I wish I had just paid her off,” what did he mean?"

That was number one of the things Walters skipped. It would have been nice if she had grilled Stiviano on this. But, she didn't.

[Jane Long]

She reminds me of Octomom.

[Enterprise]

To which cow are you referring? Stiviano or Walters?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bingo!!!

[Chode]

LOLOL!!!! 100...

[Sarah Barracuda]

The interview BOMBED..when V or whatever the heck her name is said that she has HUNDREDS of hours of tape a logical person would have said “Well, first of all, why did you tape him and secondly, DID U HAVE HIS PERMISSION” because it is against the law in California to tape someone without their consent

[Chode]

the money whore cause Baba Wawa has stretched her 15mins to thirty years, but at least now, in theory, we have a departure date...

[UCANSEE2]

“... it could indicate a deeper, systemic problem of racism and discrimination that merits investigation.”

OR, they just don’t like gangsters and thugs.

[Enterprise]

I want Stiviano to keep talking though. Every time she opens up her mouth now, she creates more problems for the NBA and Silver.

[Tupelo]

It does not matter what Walters asked or Stiviano answered. The results obtained were the results that were desired by someone.
I still would like to see Sterling shut down the Clippers. If for no other reason than to see how the league would handle it. That could and would set the precedent for the Redskins owner to follow if they ban him for having a "racist" team name. Or the Dolphins owner if he is banned for having homophobic thoughts.

[Mears]

Thirty years?

More like 50.

[Enterprise]

Freepers are the best! You see, that was a BIG DISCONNECT in the paragraph. On the one hand, Stiviano is saying that Sterling didn't want people who looked like "gangsters" and "thugs" to be brought to the game. And a jaw dropping leap of logic leads to: "it could indicate a deeper, systemic problem of racism and discrimination that merits investigation."

[Sarah Barracuda]

Hey dont call her Stiviano, call her “Silly Rabbit” LOL I think that is what she wants to be known by

[Enterprise]

"The results obtained were the results that were desired by someone."

Of course. But even now, there are enough people who understand that what is asked, and what is NOT asked are both part of the problem with the limps. And what she doesn't ask, someone else WILL and that interview will be more viewed that Walters' interview. I am more than happy when people like Walters fearlessly display their lack of courage and lack of objectivity. Keep it up I say.

[Enterprise]

LOL!!! I might just do that! SILLY RABBIT!

[Enterprise]

I added silly rabbit to the keywords.
