I don’t see what was racist about Sterling’s comments. To the contrary, it sounded to me as if he was tired of his girlfriend using black people as some sort of decoration. It was her actions then that were racist as she was using her ‘black friends’ to make herself look ‘diverse’ when it sounds to me like Sterling knows her better.
My take also.
What set off Sterling was that pic of his girlfriend with Magic, makes me think there is MUCH more to this story..Magic is known for being a womanizer, maybe he was having an affair with this woman(Who is known for swindling rich men and has multiple aliases) and Sterling was afraid he would get AIDS..ya never know, it is possible..notice how Sterling didnt make a fuss about Matt Kemp being in a photo, it was only Magic in that photo that made him so angry
I missed this dust up. What, exactly, was it that Sterling (a registered Republican but an exclusive contributor to Democrats) was supposed to have said? And in what context?
I honestly read it as Sterling found her hanging around with athletic young studs known for many sexual conquests as embarrassing and humiliating, punctuating that he’s an old fool with a woman he can’t satisfy and control.
He had no problem with her privately seeing these men, even noting he didn’t care if she had sex with them.
She’s more of a decoration for Sterling, in that context.
