Donald Sterling evokes Marge Schott memories

"We have seen Donald Sterling before. The Los Angeles Clippers owner is entirely familiar to us. He looks like the woman who sat in the front row behind the home dugout at Riverfront Stadium.

He is old, rich, public and powerful and for some reason, people pay attention to him. Same as the woman who signed pawprints on scorecards. I don't know if Sterling feels his wealth isolates him from civility, or if he just refuses to know any better. Having dealt with Marge Schott for a decade, I'd suggest she embodied the latter.

Marge was recklessly clueless, and didn't give a damn if you knew it. Marge didn't limit her ugliness to blacks. She spread it like buckshot. Schott offended everyone from scouts to Jews, gays to blacks. The litany of her indiscretions was comprehensive and impressive. No need to amplify here. You remember what she said."

MOre..
