Sure, the guy is a moron and a racist and a person who has an incredible bad sense when it comes to choosing prostitutes. The owner of the Klu Klux Clippers has been tarred and feathered when it comes to the liberal media. Hand wringing all around. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Donald Sterling is in this world. What will become of the children? We must think of the children.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, the guy is a jerk and there's no place for him in society. But I could say the same for about a thousand other people in the public eye and that pretty much includes every politician from the President of the United States to the local dog catcher. In this emerging scandal called Sterling-gate, there is blatant hypocrisy afoot. Because as this schmuck is destroyed by all around him, you hear the words of others who are equally stupid. Except they don't know it.
Take, for instance, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Since I pay zero attention to pro basketball, I didn't know who the league commissioner even was before last week. Now I do and that's a face only a blind mother could love.
Yikes. Hello, County Hospital? You've separated a set of twins.
But I digress....
So, this Adam Silver mounts a microphone and pretty much ties Donald Sterling to his car bumper and then drives through a series of potholes. He is fined. He is banned from going to any NBA events, which would be a snap for me if I was in his shoes. He is also told to sell the team.
Comparatively, Jesus got off easier on Good Friday. Yes, there is no place in any portion of 2014 society where Sterling's racist comments can live. Certainly, not even in the privacy of your own home where some skank of a girlfriend has a secret recording device.
Silver stood above the fray and was roundly applauded by the idiots in the media. I mean, everybody had something to say about Donald Sterling. Even President Obama weighed in with a comment and I'm still waiting to hear his thoughts on that poor Australian baseball player who was senselessly killed by two bored Black kids last summer. But that's fodder for another blog piece.
Commissioner Adam Silver was revered for his swift and decisive action. Except, in his role as the moral compass of society, he neglected to address about two thousand other infractions and injustices committed by players in his league.
What do you mean, Len? NBA players are stars. They're our heroes. The model citizens.
One of the reasons why I can't stand pro basketball is the level of intelligence of its players. In all of sports, I think NBA players are probably the stupidest of all. And that's a valid statement regardless of skin color. Most of them rode through college scholarships because they could run, dribble, and shoot. Find them in a classroom. It's impossible. I saw it in my own college. I've heard about it at others. Dumb as posts. All of them.
And that carries over to their super-rich pro careers. Driving Escalades while drunk. Knocking up their girlfriends repeatedly. I heard a stat that there were over 700 babies born to NBA players out of wedlock over the last five years. I can't believe that stat. Personally, I think it's low.
And, of course, we have the rape accusations and the like. This has happened over and over and over.
Yep, it's Donald Sterling that's the worst thing in the NBA. Perhaps in his category of hatred and racism. But, Commissioner Nosferatu, there are plenty of ways to find just how immoral your league is.
And, of course, let's not forget the NAACP. They chimed in on Donald Sterling and nothing was more ridiculous than that. The Los Angeles chapter of that archaic organization named Sterling as its man of the year several years ago. Right in the middle of some court proceedings where Sterling was up against charges that he was a biased landlord. Hello? Is this mike on??
These dopes were going to give Sterling the same award again this year and 10 million dollar donations will do that. The NAACP, under the direction of some bozo named Leon Jenkins, cashed those checks gladly.
Now, with their benefactor in the limelight, it's all of a sudden dirty money. But that's always been the way of the NAACP. A place where racism is accepted as long as there's money attached. Luckily, the Sterling affair took its toll here and Jenkins had a great fall. By now, he's probably salting French fries at In N' Out Burger. And even that's likely too advanced a career for him.
So, as you see, it's easy to adopt Donald Sterling as this month's special Moron. But, when you dig down, you realize there's plenty of clowns who can climb into the Volkswagen.
Dinner last night: Chicken and proscuitto tortellini and salad.
