LMFAO could you imagine the Clippers not dressing for their first few games because Donald Sterling is still lingering around in operations :roll: :roll: :roll:

**** the Clippers. Even when they have a built team and good coach they can't catch a break :lol

:cheers:

Where's ClippersFan86 at?

[niko]

Who are they boycotting? The NBA, which has pretty much put everything in motion that they could? Their fans, who will completely get ****ed over? Themselves, who will have their playoff possibilities nerfed?

It can't be Sterling, dude is nuts and/or senile, do they think he gives two ****s if they don't show up and lose games and how he looks? A boycott basically hurts everyone except Sterling. It's also a big FU at everything the NBA has tried to do, why should they try so hard if the players have their own unhelpful agenda.

Weird situation.

If nothing is resolved, does that mean potentially they could sit out all year? :lol

[SOD 21]

Good for the players from the Los Angeles Clippers along with their head coach talking about taking action to address this raving lunatic of an owner who seems intent to drag this through one lawsuit after another. This could go on for years if Donald Sterling has his way.

Not only should the players and coaches threatened to boycott, the rest of their corporate sponsors should pull away from the franchises well until this is resolved. Some have already done so.

[9512]

They should just contract the clippers. A team with no history or prestige and most NBA fans wouldn't care all that much if they disappeared off the face of the earth the next day.

[bagelred]

Here's to Doc Rivers, Chris Paul, and all the other Clippers players...who we know, have never ever ever said anything Politically Incorrect ever in private. :cheers:

[HomieWeMajor]

But this guy is OK with shuckin and jivvin as a house negro in insurance adverts.

[DMV2]

Silver, the NBA, Clippers players still need to be called out for lying about not knowing Sterling's history.

If a bunch of nobodies like us on ISH knew about his history, how does a couple of hundreds of multi-millionaires didn't know?

Now all the sudden, the masses, the non-NBA/non-sports people know about his history too and they're gonna start acting like a bunch of noble freedom fighters or something? GTFO here with that bullshhht.....They let Sterling to continue his "racist" ways for over a decade.

all the players become free agents, Blake goes to Cleveland, LeBron still wants more help.

[UK2K]

Isn't that some sort of breach of contract by refusing to play?

But yeah, Clips fans will be thrilled their team is chilling at the crib instead of playing in the game they bought tickets to.

[mistergreens]

If only all these players knew Sterling was already a racist before signing their contracts, and before the tapes leaked. Oh wait....:biggums:

[nathanjizzle]

suck it up *****. hes going to die soon anyway.

Even well before that TMZ incident, I too knew about DTS's bigotry and thought he should have been out (since that story about baron Davis getting heckled by DTS circa 2003).

But somehow everything was fine and dandy as stern let him run his joke franchise.

But hey...players are/were getting paid their millions to buy their toys and mansions so as long as they were happy with that they kept quiet.

[russwest0]

don't worry guys, he's only talking about a third round boycott in the playoffs

[FireMcFailPlease]

i cant stand CP3...less of him, the better. Hope he sits the whole season, gains and gains nothing.

[Warfan]

Donald Sterling has vowed to fight "as long as he lives"

So I guess this will be over soon

[JohnFreeman]

Play the game and pick up your cheque. Silly players.

[GimmeThat]

I sure hope they can pinpoint the cause that Sterling is fighting for

[fragokota]

don't worry guys, he's only talking about a third round boycott in the playoffs

:oldlol:

Boycott my a**, they ain't gonna do nothing...

Exactly my point, man. You, me, everybody NBA fan knew about his history. We don't have inside connection, first-hand sources like they do either. How do they not know about Sterling's past. THEY KNEW!

If they would admit that they enabled Sterling to continue his racist ways for over a decade, then maybe we can actually respect their fight. But this is some PR bullshhht theyre doing, acting they're victims or some shit.

Because i'm sure you, if you had a business partner would bankrupt yourself before letting the partner go if he said something stupid, right? Because this is what we are talking about, firing a business partner.

[crisoner]

Didn't LeBron on the rest of the players around the NBA agree to do the same?


We can miss a season because of this.

[joeyjoejoe]

They're are doin the right thing backing up doc and trying to force the sale, no players would want Sterling to be the owner of their team with all the bad publicity he's been getting so why should clipper players just settle, f##k that

[Real Men Wear Green]

SAS is saying they only do this if Sterling wins.

[beastee]

They are all so full of it. CP3 has baby mommas that need that cash. He is not sitting out. Heck, Rivers probably has some dime piece apartments he has to pay for. I love all the PR these guys are getting for being good guys and ethical. ALL FULL OF CRAP. Money talks.

[mattvNJ]

Theyll never do this lol. Literally thousands of black/white/whatever athletes have displayed racism and either A) slap on the wrist, B) nothing happened. Move on.... nothing is coming out of this besides a media circus. Aslong as your checks hit the bank who cares. Doesnt make you less of a man or activist if you persevere and say **** it lets go win.

business owners aren't nessecarily leaders

lack of leadership happens everywhere, as well as during different time periods.


the possibility of people getting paid, while Sterling is ousted, exist.

[kshutts1]

No one is gonna sit out. They're trying to force the league to get scared and do some strong-arm tactic stuff with Sterling. I'm not even sure that's possible.

But as many have pointed out, Sterling had a history of bigotry. Why sign there if it apparently means so much to you? Also, as Bagel pointed out, have none of them (Clippers) ever said anything offensive while in private?

This is a total non-story and non-issue.

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

Believe it when I see it. Doubt Chris Paul will turn down his money for those games he boycotts.

[Charlie Sheen]

Too right.

CP3 looks like a despicable person here. He didn't bat an eyelash when he signed on for 5 years and 100millions. Sterling had already solidified his rep as a scumbag through several highly publicized incidents. I suspect he's manipulating public opinion by shifting focus away from his own failures on the court to the evil racist white man.

[hawksdogsbraves]

The players union is so ****ed come the next CBA if CP3 is still in charge :facepalm

[Heavincent]

Chris Paul is such a whiny little bitch. Shut the **** up and collect your massive paycheck. Nobody feels bad for you.

The guy acts like he's some kind of victim. It's pathetic.

[avonbarksdale]

haha cp3 is such a whiny bitch id love for them to boycott every game and go 0-82

like who do you think you are teaching a lesson to? your fans who also hate donald sterling, support you and but your jersey? or the nba who went to great lengths in an attempt to fine and ban sterling?

cp3 needs to figure it out, all that would do is dissapoint thousands of clippers fans

[GimmeThat]

I don't know if the fans get the fact that him saying a boycott isn't just a big fat f*ck you to Sterling, but to the fans as well.

No shit, irregardless nothing will come out of this. Just like they were going to boycott last season. Its all a facade. No one is doing jack shit but blowing smoke.

remind me not to ask you to predict any player movement

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Paul is bluffing. They aren't going to boycott.

And if so, why stop there? Why not give back all the money the Clippers paid you because after all, it was still Donald Sterling that owned the team - you're paying your bills with "racist" money.

In actuality, Chris Paul will be fine financially if he boycotts.

But what about the dudes at the end of the bench making the minimum. You really think those guys want to do the same? How will this boycotting affect them and their families?

The whole thing is a big joke, from Adam Silver, to the Sterlings, to the Lebron's and Chris Pauls talking about "boycotting."

[LBJ4MVP23]

CP3 is one of the biggest racists in the NBA that little hooker.

But he keeps taking the pay check because hes all talk. I would have a shred of respect if he said cancel each paycheck, not put on hold, CANCEL each one until hes out. That shows some actual balls.

Demands black coach or he wont play, refuses to play for owner who asks GF to not take photos with black men. Something seems a bit off in this game of "im an entitled douche."

[mattvNJ]

remind me not to ask you to predict any player movement
duly noted lol... youll see when hes the owner do to legal actions and maybe they skip a game or do absolutely like i said.

lets see these guys stop cashing these checks. Not gonna happen, they're paid millions to play a game not be activists(albeit i do believe all things sterling has done it wrong but hey, everyone has prejudices.)

[Adam Silver]

Silver, the NBA, Clippers players still need to be called out for lying about not knowing Sterling's history.



I never said I didn't know. The issue is, what was I supposed to do? Sterling is making it difficult to get him out now, how do you think I was supposed to get him out the moment I took over as commissioner?

[robert de niro]

he's just throwing a tantrum

[knickballer]

Bunch of hypocritical stone throwers acting like their shit don't stink.

Stop cashing your checks, bitches.

[Optimus Prime]

More tough guy talk and grandstanding from Chris Paul. When it comes down to it, he's going to play. I think that he meant to say that he's boycotting conference finals games now and has been his entire career. :kobe:

[Johnny Jones]

This is another publicity stunt by Chris ''**** my mother'' Paul. He knew Donald Sterling was a racist when he signed the multi-year extension with the Clips last offseason.

[tobethdope]

good for cp3, its the only position he can take here honestly...this forum turns out to be just as racist (or stupid) as any other US dominated forum i know...its not like were dealing here with a person who made a politically incorrect statement (as some have suggested) or stinking shit that everyone has, what we have seen clearly showed a person who values black people less then whites (he also proved that while trying to defend his statement); any institution, like the nba, shud distance them from him and certainly every black person (as well as every person that isn't a racist) in that organization shud choose not to work for this organization as long a the head of it is a well known racist.

[Foster5k]

Glad for him. Throughout history people have stood up against hatred and bigotry. People will call him names and say whatever they want. Fact is, the guy is standing up for his rights as a human being. The right not to want to play for a racist, bigoted owner who views you as nothing more than a slave.

Sterling should have been out of the league. We can look at the past and say, "Well, they should have known this or that." Doesn't matter. What matters is, now, they are taking a stand and will not tolerate Sterling any longer.

It's over for Sterling in the NBA and a message is sent to any other racist, bigot owner, etc. League will not tolerate it any longer.

Right here, dude.

We good.

[TheMarkMadsen]

So he's threatening to not play while still cashing sterlings checks?

Bold move.

[imnew09]

Fk the Clippers, GTFO outta L.A with yo sorry a$$ selfie banners

[LakersForlife]

sterling will just laugh.

[Bobcats2013]

Clippers might actually end up with a 3-78 record. That's crazy.

Even if the Clippers boycott the Lakers would still get swept.

[SpecialQue]

Can't wait to see their inside out jerseys make another appearance.

[Cocaine80s]

wow they still mad?

get the **** over it already my god

[Foster5k]

wow they still mad?

get the **** over it already my god
It's not about being still mad. It's about finishing the job. Before, Sterling counted own the league's willingness to forget and sweep his actions under the rug. He counted on the players, coaches, etc to cash their checks and never utter a word about his racist and bigoted ways.

Sterling's time has come. Now he faces the end game.

[wakencdukest]

Who are they boycotting? The NBA, which has pretty much put everything in motion that they could? Their fans, who will completely get ****ed over? Themselves, who will have their playoff possibilities nerfed?

Exactly right. Everyone in the league or affiliated with it is working to get rid of Sterling, even his wife is in on it, and these dickhead Clippers are still going to pull this persecuted black man shit? Talk about entitlement, they're still getting paid and their fans still support them. They are acting like some whiny ass bitches.

[qrich]

So after Chris Paul WILLINGLY signed an extension being fully aware of Tokowitz 1930 mindset AND allegedly demanded a black coach or else he would sign elsewhere, he is complaining?

Dude has talent on the court. But is bitch made off the court.

[NugzFan]

100% chance this doesnt happen. its all talk trying to make themselves look good to the public.

[Baby Arm Johnso]

Y'all are crazy!! This is America and not some fascist state. Sterling can say anything he wants under the constitution. I bet CP3 has said racist stuff against white people when nobody is around.

I know, lets try to legislate morality . . . whose ideals of what is right and what is wrong should we use

[GimmeThat]

duly noted lol... youll see when hes the owner do to legal actions and maybe they skip a game or do absolutely like i said.

lets see these guys stop cashing these checks. Not gonna happen, they're paid millions to play a game not be activists(albeit i do believe all things sterling has done it wrong but hey, everyone has prejudices.)

I think we have to also consider how the players feel when they are surrounded by the Clippers staff and etc.

If it really becomes miserable enough, I wouldn't nessecarily say they are trying to be activist, but their ability to even cashing in those checks is at question here.

Are the Clippers players potentially the victim here as well?


If everyone treats it as if some old man shouting and not knowing what he is talking about anymore. Then we may as well say the society has ruled him to be mentally ill, since his employees are directly violating his orders.

[pastis]

cp3 is an attention and money addicted loser. he wont boycott if he would lose money. simple as that

[tomtucker]

paul is a bitch !

It has been a well known fact for about 30 years that Sterling is a bigoted racist. CP3 knew it in New Orleans and he knew it when he signed his fat extension in LA. For him to just now try to 'make a stand' is just an attempt to make himself look good. He isn't going to boycott a game and miss a paycheck, just like how in the playoffs how his 'boycott' was to turn his shirt inside out :oldlol:

This is all a marketing ploy.
