It would be a huge statement if the players just flat out refused to play. 
 
I just wonder if Sterling is really gonna sell the team in light of this.

He's gonna lose the team, but how awkward would it be if he didnt and the Clips won the title?

I brought up the possibility of him being outed the other day. It's happened before in professional sports.

Speaking of awkward, I wonder what it's like to be JJ Redick or Hedo Turkoglu in that locker room right now.

If you're foreign, you're more black than white.

JJ is the crazy white guy in the group. He is probably the most upset.

A three-team trade involving the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks almost fell apart last offseason due to the racial reservations of Donald Sterling.

The Clippers were acquiring J.J. Redick in a sign-and-trade in which Eric Bledsoe was deal to the Suns.

Sterling became reluctant to honor the agreement made by Doc Rivers because it was hard for him to see the value of paying $7 million per season for Redick.

"He thought it was too much to pay for a white player," said one source.

Sterling hates humanity.

He steals money from white people and gives it to black people.  He's like the bigot Robin Hood.

Tmz says hes suspended indefinitely

I hate that news is always leaked before an actual announcement.
Just once i want to be surprised at a decision

This is in all aspects of sports and even regular news

Suspended indefinitely and $5M dollar fine is what TMZ is reporting.

Not enough, what does suspending an owner even do? And $5M to a guy that has $2B is pocket change.

Severe, yes.
But not satisfying at all and nothing will be satisfying until hes gone
But even if he sells he will get at least a billion

Every group of brothers should have at least one white guy in it, for safety.
