In fact, this whole Sterling issue reminds me of a modern day salem witchcraft trial.
Wasn’t his girlfriend black?
OK, I can understand that he could be racist with a Black girlfriend. Maybe he was going blind in his old age and didn’t notice.
But he also bought into a heavily Black business. Coaches, players, etc. Doesn’t make sense for a true racist to have done that.
I lived next to a couple that would fight and call each other all sorts of horrible ethnic names … pertaining to their own ethnicities. People say horrible things in anger, and it doesn’t necessarily speak to their true political views.
Not sure if he wasn’t doing his best to goad her and vice versa. They both seem like pretty vile people, a perfect match, maybe.
My other thought is: what if this is a setup to devalue the team and get it sold. He might be known for rants in private. Get him set up with someone who’s close enough to push him into ranting, tape it, then “leak” it.
She gets a small commission if the right person buys the team…
