If the allegations are true, Donald Sterling is a racist. I'll learn toward believing they are true for the simple fact that he did not categorically deny that he said what was on the audio tape. He didn't even release his own statement, his lawyers did. Racist, coward, moron. All three describe this old white billionaire quite vividly.
Sterling should be run out of the NBA. Period. However they need to do it, make it happen. This is just the beginning of allegations as well. Get ready for the windfall of interviews and accusations, most of which I am sure will be true. People like this don't just fall out of the racist closet for a minute, there is a pattern, a distinct pattern over the course of their lives. They deem themselves untouchable.
In this case the NBA needs to reach out and touch Donald Sterling.
