Race is, hands down, the most repulsive aspect of the Donald Sterling scandal. But sex is a close second. To listen to the taped conversation between the octogenarian owner of the Los Angeles Clippers and the 30-something V. Stiviano is to glimpse the tawdry and inherently unequal arrangement between well, lets put it primly, benefactor and recipient.
The Sterling-Stiviano deal appears to involve a transaction as old as time. Weve seen it before, yet we rarely see inside it in such unvarnished, ugly form.
Just look at the photos of the pair courtside, and you know whats up: Sterling, puffy-faced and unattractive; old enough to be Stivianos grandfather, no less her father; but powerful and, perhaps more relevant, fabulously rich. Stiviano, striking in a Cosmo girl way, with a Mexican/African American background that makes Sterlings reported aversion to having her associate with or, more precisely, appear on social media to associate with African Americans all the more bizarre.
They met, according to a lawsuit filed against Stiviano by Rochelle Sterling, Sterlings wife of more than 50 years, at the 2010 Super Bowl. Donald Sterling allegedly proceeded to shower Stiviano with luxuries: a 2012 Ferrari, two Bentleys, a 2013 Range Rover, a $1.8 million home and $240,000 in living expenses.....

Another question is who is the "other" women (with white phone) seen in several other pictures?
...”I blame Viagra with out that the old boy would never have strayed.”...
I totally agree. This man is and has been a narcissist and, possibly, psychotic, for many years..Now, I believe he is demented. However, the population of so called “leaders” in this world is full of people like him and they are nothing new..The book of Proverbs from the Bible describes them and the “gold diggers” who chase them perfectly..Their end is also described and it is not pretty.

I believe its Hugh Hefner, owner of Playboy
Ruth Marcus is a hard-core lefty who would never see the same problem if it involved anyone she considered on her side. Should probably be out there offering to give him a hummer herself it was Bill Clinton to someone like that.
AND a Bentley, AND a $1.8million dollar home.
At least taxpayers didn't give HIM a stadium.
You gave it away when you used "old guy" instead of "old person."
I'm too deep in the weeds today...
I'm sure the IRS is taking great interest in the Sterling matter. I wonder if Donald paid the gift tax on all those gifts to his "friend"?
They will also be interested in the tax on "imputed income" from her rent-free house.
She's going to wish she never made those tapes. She will become more toxic than Magic once the SHTF.

What’s up with the face shield? That’s just weird.
I agree. His problem was that she was embarrassing him when seen in public with oversexed young studs. He explicitly had no problem with her seeing other men (black or otherwise), even encouraging her to have sex with them in private.
She was humiliating and diminishing him. If she didn’t like the rules, she could leave at any time.
He didn’t want her associating with blacks because it made him look bad. People would talk about her preferring black men to him or that he was plain unable to perform so she had to go outside.
she’s too young to be botoxxed isn’t she?
Who knows..her lips look weird tho...which is why I said botoxxed
Sterling didn’t want “V” to flaunt her black boyfriends in his face in public, but apparently he had no problems being seen with her. Wonder how that double standard sat with Mrs. Donald Sterling.
She’s got those big horse teeth- I would not want those allowed near anything I valued
