At least that's what I heard. Which I suppose means that he has no use for Sterling except to take Sterling's money. I suspect he also has a contract with State Farm which means he'll be getting paid no matter what. Besides, he does not wear anything remotely resembling a Clipper's uniform in the ads.

The fact that Paul is being paid really seems to disturb you. They work for their pay. They worked hard to get to the NBA. The competition was steep. If everybody refused their pay because their employer was an ass, most of us would never survive.

In fact, I think it's great that he's taking Sterling's money. I'm sorry that you apparently read my post wrong. I have no problem with any athlete or anyone else getting paid as long as it's done honestly.
Incidentally, I used to play basketball in a rec league, so I know damn well how hard it is to be one of the best in the world. I will re-read my post and see if there is anywhere that I said that I am disturbed by Paul getting paid. But I don't think I'll see anything that suggests that. Peace to you.

Guess, like everyone else, I'm feeling easily excited on this issue.

decide to "show up and play&quot ...timing for this ugliness could not have been worse.

Don't get me wrong...Jabba Sterlings feelings (getting to be pretty well documented) are disgusting.

But after years of sub-par performance, the guys on this squad have finally come together and have the best chance to get near the championship...I hope the team can focus on the trophy and let the ugly get sorted out by others. Doc Rivers, I wish you the best...you were the only cool head over the weekend.

And a special thanks to shit-site TMZ and gold digger "girlfriend" for their for their participation...whatever.

I'm a Mavs fan, but I'm really happy for the Clips and love watching Blake Griffin play. Yesterday, they looked like a team that laid down. Sad all the way around.

are you sure that kind of talk is allowed on a progressive forum?

Racist man screws everything up and the answer is to call the woman a golddigger for outing the racist. Do you think she should have kept his racist crap a secret so as to not look like a gold digger? He was talking about her family when he was disrespecting black people. She IS a black woman after all. Wow.

"Transition CEO Steve Stoute, who represents State Farm, announced on ESPN’s Cowherd radio show that State Farm would not sponsor the Clippers as long as Sterling was owner. Stoute said sponsorship of individual players might continue, but not of the organization itself.

“I’m telling the brands, ‘Let’s pull sponsorship,’ starting with State Farm,” Stoute said. “When you have things like this taking place, somebody has to stand up.”

Stoute added that he expected more companies to pull their sponsorship in the next forty-eight hours. "
