BTW, for those who have forgotten the recorder of the conversation... Sterling’s girlfriend V. Stiviano, who is at the heart of the controversy...
The recordings were released amid a lawsuit which accuses her of embezzling millions from the Sterling family.
Hell Hath no fury like a woman scorned.
The guy’s entitled to his opinions, especially in private conversations. This is nuts.
I would put it up for 3 trillion and see who bites.
His wife holds half interest. Are there any children who he can pass it to ( before his death). Or place it in a family trust
It’s un-American to MAKE him sell The Clippers, he may be a bigot, but that’s his right to be a cranky bigot, as well it is his RIGHT to own private property without being forced to give that up without trial by jury!

Since it was a private conversation, I think Sterling will be in position to own the NBA if he wants, arguing interference in his business affairs. If Sterling had actively promoted racism in public. the NBA would have a case for lost business, but since they don’t they are going to learn the hard way that you should use lube when you screw yourself.
make your profit and laugh all the way to the bank.

Whew! I’m glad the NBA doesn’t tolerate bigots.
I predict........
Someone will DEMAND that he sell the team for what he paid for it. Someone like that does not deserve to make a profit.
That’ll never happen. Sounds like a bidding war is in the offing.
Sterling is like a savant who’s one freaky talent is making gobs of money.
To prove he’s really not racist, he has to sell the team for pennies on the dollar to a minority. You know like Oprah.
