The Patriot Post® · Let's Talk Sterling

Larry Elder: “If Sterling is unfit to own a team now that he’s expressed racial animosity, what about superfan Spike Lee’s racial animosity? Should Lee be banned from games? A courtside fixture at Knicks games, Lee once said he dislikes interracial couples: ‘I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.’ Should the NBA investigate the suitability of an expressed hater of interracial couples to have such a prominent perch at the Garden? What about Bill Maher? He is a part-owner of the Mets – that is when not calling Sarah Palin the ‘c’ word or Michelle Bachman ‘a dumb t–t,’ or when not joking about Palin’s son Trig, who has Down syndrome. Should MLB investigate his stand-up for foul language? Did Magic call for a Clippers boycott when, for years, its owner mistreated Elgin Baylor, stiffed players and twice settled housing discrimination lawsuits? … Remove racism from the hearts of the Bundys, Sterlings and Zimmermans. The effect on these problems is what? But no, let’s talk ‘income disparity’ or ‘climate change’ or that ‘racism remains alive and well in America.’ Let’s talk Sterling.”
