Donald Sterling Hides From KAT

In a interesting twist of fate, I saw Donald Sterling yesterday. A car was getting towed and it turns out it was his at the time I had no idea but when he was leaving the restaurant I noticed that belly. He went back inside to order a driver to pick him up and his lady. Several months ago, I wanted to bump into Sterling in the height of the frenzy it didn't happen. I ran into V. Stiviano instead. Yesterday was a trippy day, I was in Zen. Donald Sterling is what he is. He can not change. It is unfortunate that so many were hurt in the process and that his family will be $2 Billion richer.

Blake Griffin Ignores Question On Clippers Sale

It is a tricky thing but NBA players are controlled. They can't say what they want which makes the whole "ownership" thing even more distasteful. After going to so many Clippers games in the past, I'm still torn about going to any more in the future. The Donald Sterling fiasco and not being aware of his discriminatory housing practices as well as his racism and other negatives, made me realize that what I give my money to means I'm supporting the views of the people who own the business. It was a sobering thought. Who owns what and who plays is a serious issue. The Lords and the serfs - the masters and slaves - the owners and the workers is a disturbing dance that has been going on for eons.
But it seem to come down that most of us will do just about anything for money. It is the world we live in.
