The Idiocy of Donald Sterling

70% of men over age 70, have some cancerous cells in their prostate glands.

 

So this is not exactly shocking news that an 80 year old man has prostate cancer... they don't even typically treat it in men that old, they just keep an "active watch" on it...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The audio recording of racist comments that got Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling banned from the NBA was made with his consent by the woman he criticizes on the tape for "associating with black people," her lawyer said on Thursday.

 

Los Angeles-based attorney Mac Nehoray also insisted that his client, who goes by the name of V. Stiviano, did not wish Sterling any ill will and had nothing to do with furnishing the recording to websites that released the audio over the weekend, igniting the racially charged scandal.

 

Instead, a copy of the tape was leaked by an unspecified friend to whom Stiviano had given the recording for "safekeeping" but who apparently "went rogue" for monetary gain, Nehoray told Reuters.

 

Nevertheless, Stiviano, seemed to be hinting weeks before the scandal broke that a big secret was about to be revealed, posting messages on the social networking site Instagram about "Skeletons in Closet" and "It's all coming out!"

 

Stiviano, 31, while not widely known to the public at large before this week's controversy, was a familiar fixture at Clippers games and charity events with the 80-year-old Sterling, and the two have frequently been photographed together.

 

Nehoray denied media reports linking the two romantically, however, saying, "there was no sexual relationship."

 

He said Stiviano was merely a friend of Sterling's who served as an informal "archivist" for him personally and was "in charge" of his philanthropic foundations.

 

So the recording wasn't illegal after all, and it sounds like Stiviano wanted to take down Sterling for being a racist while still staying in his good graces as much as possible to keep receiving exorbitant gifts, but was not terribly smart about it.

Well then, any legal objections I had to the NBA acting are now resolved. Not that I was mourning for a racist caveman who has more money than I will have in twenty lifetimes, but I didn't feel great about the process. It was legal? FUCK HIM. Although he could really piss the NBA off by dying and leaving team to his wife. . .

Sterling is a scumbag, but the woman dating a gross and blatantly racist 81 year old man for no other reason than that he's rich isn't that great a person either. Her being mixed race makes it even more bizarre: what self respecting person would put up with this fool for more than five minutes?

 

And what does the V stand for anyway?
