Poor Clipper Darrell...
Next thing you know they will announce at the end of the season that t he Clippers are on the move to Seattle.
When I went to a game earlier I noticed it was a lot louder.... and some guys next to me pointed to clipper darrell and said look no one can even hear him anymore. He was only useful when this place was half empty
I wonder if that same line of thinking has led them to do this. At this point he probably only bothers the 100 fans around him who can hear him instead of energizing a crowd
Regardless tho, its not worth it. Very unclassy.
That last part is actually ridiculous. "He's not a fan of the team but more a fan of what he can make off the Clippers" I understand he's probably used the media dubbed Clipper Darrel for personal gain and what not but when you've had arguably the worst franchise for the last 15 years and this guy has been a fan? Not too smart to say all this now.
Dude was doing his thing getting the crowd involved when your team was utter shit. Serioussssly doubt he makes enough off of "Clipper" Darrel to actually make him stick around for this long.
Plus team likes him, other fans clearly love him, seems like he does work in the community. Clippers aren't paying him. Letting him use Clipper Darrel and letting him do interviews with the media that aren't damaging actually seems like a small price to pay in the long run.
Lotta teams would probably be willing to employ somebody like that :oldlol:

As Stro said.. Mark Cuban offered him permanent floor seat season tickets+1 million dollars to defect. So obviously teams want him.
There's a pretty nice irony of a Sterling owned team calling out someone for only caring about money and not the franchise.

Everything about this just looks so bad. :oldlol: :facepalm
lmao classic Clippers fail.
Shoulda had smarter PR.
hope cuban buys him, this is low even for stern. how much revenue could this guy possibly be pulling in to affect the clips. dumb ass
It would be one thing if this guy just started doing this stuff this season, just to make money off the name. But the guy has been Clipper Darrell for like what, a decade or more? I remember hearing about Clipper Darrell years ago. What the hell is the point of making a decision like this? Was he maybe making a little coin for himself? Probably, but he ain't taking money out anyone's pockets for Christ's sake. Guy does community work and appearances like crazy. He's not being deceitful in any way, shape or form. I mean all the guy has done is support the living hell out of you.
Don't get it. And then they release a public message, basically putting one fan on blast. Just lame.
Pathetic. Just read this article and seen this thread. They went from 1 fan to 0. Haha. All the bandwagon Clipper fans there and here, now they have no real fan.

[B]He is not actually a fan of the Clippers, but a fan of what he can make off of the Clippers. [/B]

Who the **** do the Clippers think they are? They think this guy set out to attend every clippers game 15 years ago and see if he could get rich of Ike Austin and Darrick Martin as they won 17 games?
If this was a long plan to get rich.....the guy is an idiot who got lucky as hell that it worked.
More likely....hes a huge fan who got good breaks as he stayed loyal. I suspect he didnt make millions on day 1....
wait a minute, clipper darrell makes 500,000 a year? jesus christ :eek: :confusedshrug: :facepalm
I see my future profession.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking franchise is the worst.
This is like sticking with an ugly girl for years, then all of a sudden she gets a makeover, fixes her hair and gets fake tits and she dumps you.
For shame Clippers.
