- Donald Sterling on black people: "I support them and give them food, and clothes, and cars, and houses."
What should happen to him? #NBA #DonaldSterling #clippers - If you have 15 minutes, here's the full recording of the alleged conversation between Donald Sterling and his then girlfriend. Several things are apparent after listening to the call. Racist rant? Yes. Set up by someone who knew he espoused such views? Seems likely. Will be interesting to see how/if players engage in some form of protest before game. Calling on them not to play is ridiculous. They don't just play for Sterling. They play for the people of LA and their fans scattered around the country.
