http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/donald-sterling-los-angeles-clippers-owner-scandal-jesse-jackson-calls-for-boycott-042614

Remember according to the SJW code, if you support the LA Clippers or their players/owners, then you are either a CIS, white, male scum or an Uncle Tom who deserves to be bullied to death.

So does this mean I can go around carving swastikas into these people's heads?

/sarcasm

The funny thing about this is that Donald Sterling has both been incredibly racist, and also just a tremendous asshole in general, for a long time now (resulting in, among other things, one of the funniest depositions ever).

That said, there's just not much to say about this. Donald Sterling is terrible, but there's very little that any of us can do to make any kind of change - he's as rich as hell, he owns the team, and the financial situation of the NBA and the Clippers is such that they're going to get a ton of money from TV, almost no matter what. The other owners do have some power but they're very unlikely to do anything really extreme (because anything they do to Sterling sets a precedent for screwing them over in the future). So, you know, it's difficult to see what a boycott is going to do, or what anything is going to do. And there's also a distinction (albeit an extremely tricky and complex one) about what you're rooting for when you're cheering on a team - are you rooting for the players, for the uniform, for the organization, what?

That said I do hope they find a way to shift him out. And I kind of think they will - it's just such a remarkable, egregious black eye for the league that I have to assume that the league will find some way to get him out of the spotlight and find someone else as a public face with a big fancy title while still leaving Sterling as the actual owner of the team. Or maybe they'll force him to sell, although I think it's unlikely, and it's kind of funny that the best case scenario here still involves enriching Sterling by something like seven or eight hundred million dollars.

Yeah, the people who object to his behaviour are the people who really deserve to get shat on in this story.

What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
