I think the Clippers acted like fools and screwed themselves

[Cyyyyk]

This whole thing is just a manufactured crisis being fueled by a bunch of fake outrage....... no one really cares. Everyone just feels the need to scream bloody murder to prove their PC bona fides. Our society has gone completely off the rails.

A lot of people care.

I see your point but its not like its totally out of nowhere, pretty much everyone knew Sterling was a bizarre character for awhile. Always tough to measure stuff like emotion and mindset with players.

My first inclination is usually to think most of them don't let it effect them too much but at this level against a team like GS, any altering of mindset/confidence could yield vastly different results as I said before.

Hey, I hear what you are saying. My personal opinion on what I would do is different than what my opinion is of the players and coaches. My personal opinion is if you pay me $15 mil a year you can be as racist as you want. I'm also not an African American so I have no clue what they are feeling. I just think someone like Doc who prides himself on being a role model will have an awfully different opinion than we do on having your checks paid for and being represented by this guy. Difficult situation to be in.

How many is a lot? 10% 20% 30% 40%?


More than "a lot" don't care about this manufactured bullshit.

You can say that about anything on the news. The people who do pay attention do care obviously. Since this is front page news, talked about even on local news shows, and might lead to the first NBA owner being forced to sell his team. Also the images of the Clippers throwing their jerseys down at half court. It's pretty big in terms of NBA and sports news.

they should be thinking we're playing for ourselves, we're playing for our fans, we're playing for our families, we're playing for a national TV audience and trying to win an NBA championship.

instead they talked about forfeits and protests and I'm sorry, that's not the right approach mentally

some of the highest income most fortunate people on earth should not be playing some victim card

you're not playing for the owner, you could probably care less about his happiness before this weekend, you're playing for your own well being

if an injustice occurred, justice will follow

everyone needs to chill, IMHO, albeit it appears I'm in the minority

if you are in the minority so am i

Maybe the NBA will fold

Give me 15 mill a year and you could lock me in a cage 1 day a week and shout any obscene insult you'd like at me. What a bunch of babies crying about this when they're getting millions to play basketball. What a joke.

I see where you are coming from, if I was a racist I would find this disturbing also.

That's correct..... anyone who does not automatically express enthusiastic agreement with the prevailing groupthink is a "racist" thought criminal. This is known as "diversity".

Haha.........Doubt that.

of course anyone who disagrees with you is evil

but gee wiz, you're so damn insensitive

feelings were hurt don'tchaknow

This could be the best thing to happen to the Clippers. Their owner has held them back for years, always been too cheap to shove out money (until recent years)
