Magic Johnson blasts Donald Sterling

[BootinUp]

"I will never again set foot in Staples Center when the Clippers are playing," Johnson said Saturday afternoon in a phone interview. "I know where I'm not wanted."
Johnson was furious upon hearing the comments, which were aimed at all African Americans, and is calling upon the NBA to take serious action that could include stripping Sterling of his ownership duties.
"Something has to be done, and if that means him losing the team, then that has to happen," Johnson said. "The league has to come down hard and make a statement.''
Sterling dominated the sports world Saturday after a transcript of a tape allegedly had him berating Stiviano for being seen with Johnson.

1. But how satisfying it would be to give an interview about Sterling

every time he goes to Staples Center! By not going he is actually giving Sterling what he wants. The POSterling needs to be hounded out.

2. without the players Sterling hates, there is no game

Wonder how long this has been going on. Sterling got caught this time but I suppose he has been saying this for a loooong time. People have known about this.

3. This is the essence of "one-percent" thinking.

The 'OWERNERS" need to be reminded that their employees DO THE ACTUAL WORK (or, in this case "play&quot . The "owners" need the players a lot more than the players need the owners. Nobody goes to Clipper's games to watch Sterling play basketball.

Nobody goes to Clipper's games to watch Sterling play basketball.

Excellent statement.

4. Sterling needs to be Marge Schott-ed, and fast. Letting him keep his job would send the worst

possible message RE: the acceptability of racism.
