Source: Magic Johnson open to buying Clippers
sports.yahoo.com Published: April 28, 2014
For all these despicable revelations tumbling out of the hateful heart of Donald Sterling, there promises construction of a roadmap to redemption for the Los Angeles Clippers and the NBA. There's a way out for the most hated man in Los Angeles now, a way out for the commissioner's office and the owners responsible for long legitimizing and harboring a bigot and slumlord, according to Yahoo Sports.

Magic Johnson and his billionaire backers, the Guggenheim Partners, want a chance to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers, league sources told Yahoo Sports. "Magic's absolutely interested," one source closely connected to Johnson's business interests told Yahoo Sports on Sunday night.
To bail themselves out of the NBA's worst crisis of credibility since the Tim Donaghy officiating scandal, the easy part for the NBA will be enlisting the eagerness and financial muscle of Magic Johnson and Mark Walter of the Guggenheim Partners – owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yahoo Sports reports.

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Anniemae - 2014-04-28 1:05 PM There is a lawsuit pending, alleging she (mistress) stole $1.8 million... the mistress released the tape to get even with him and cause havoc in his life. If hadn't had a mistress, there wouldn't be this problem... 
The NBA "investigating" is standard practice, I doubt much will come of it.
His opinion stated in private, should have never been publically aired and is illegal BTW. Revenge is an poisonous animal...
He owns the Clippers team and they are in the playoffs. The timing is horrendous for the team and I feel badly for the players. They wore their jerseys inside out, hiding the Clipper logo as a protest to this entire mess.
There is no place for racism. You are supposed to look at people for what is on the INSIDE, not what box they come wrapped in.
I judge people for what they are on the inside and how they smell. |

Some one on here said she was 1/2 black, all the news reports here have stated that she is Hispanic. I personal don't know (or care) one way or the other, she is just a gold digging tramp, IMHO. Why else would you "date" someone 50 years your senior? He is old enough to be her grandfather for goodness sake! It's not his good looks and vitality that sparked her interest, it was the size of his bank account and how much of that he was willing to share...
As for the wife, I'd sue the little wench too. It's just as much her money and is it his, they've been married over 50 years. |

| Some people seem to be getting off the track. The girlfriend's shortcomings don't excuse his racist remarks any more than a girl wearing a short skirt excuses her rapist. Nor does blaming the media for releasing the story.
That's not the point.

I don't think him and his wife have the type of "marriage" that she minds his little diversions, except for the financial ones. I think they are just business partners. Probably because he's such a racist :) |

Well, hopefully, Magic Johnson get's to buy the Clipper's and all the world will be right again. |

Location: Northeast Nebraska | I can't begin to tell you how little I care if this guy is racist or not. Perhaps all the big black brains should get together and run their own league. They could keep whitey out of their life and stadiums. And those people that worship at the alter of sports and elevate these negros that play with balls to some sort of hero status make me sick. |
