2013-2014 NBA Season Thread: LET'S GO SPURDS!

[Obsidian]

Wait twenty years. That's how long it took for Donald, despite losing the biggest anti-discrimination housing lawsuit in history complete with testimony rife with far more incendiary statements then that released by TMZ.

I thought no guilt was found in either lawsuit? One he won, the other he settled out of court (which means no guilt was found).

Any bets on who buys the Clippers?

50 cent?
Diddy?
Wu-Tang Financial?

Fox News

They already got their dick wet with their fucking retarded "slippery slope" question about racist comments made in private, at the presser.

All those people need to go into their workplace, find a black colleague, and call him a nigger. See how that works out for them and their employment.

That is a terrible comparison

but yes, saying "WHAT ABOUT FREE SPEECH!/MUHFREEDUMZ" is dumb

[Tyche]

That is a terrible comparison

In context to first amendments rights, no it's not.

In context to it being an illegally recorded tape (California is a two-party authorization wiretapping state) made in private...sure. But that wasn't their argument.

It was settled, and it was the biggest settlement in the history of the housing authority. You can't imply guild...but c'mon.

You do know that he asked her to record him right?

Wha? I did not. I guess the shit I was reading about illegal taping was silly punditry.

that's why I edited, didn't realize you were responding to crazy commenters

I haven't heard it confirmed one way or another, but supposedly he asked her to record him because he forgets things. That's why she (supposedly) has like hundreds of hours of recordings that she hasn't released.

Again though, this was as much about (if not more) tarnishing the league's image as it was about racism.

Warriors Had the Blueprint For a Dramatic Boycott Ready to Go

The plan was set, the product of a 30-minute players meeting.

The Warriors were going to go through pre-game warm-ups and take part in the national anthem and starting line-up introductions. They were going to take the floor for the jump ball, dapping up the Clippers players as is customary before games.

Then once the ball was in the air, they were just going to walk off. All 15 of them.

“It would have been our only chance to make a statement in front of the biggest audience that we weren’t going to accept anything but the maximum punishment,” Curry said. “We would deal with the consequences later but we were not going to play.”

The message was intentionally bold and controversial, point guard Stephen Curry said. And if they had their way, the Clippers would have joined them in exiting the court.

The wheels were in motion until NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s banishment of Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling appeased the players’ fury. And there were plans being hatched for all the games.

The Warriors’ players wanted to protest previously, but decided to give Silver a chance to do the right thing. But if Silver had announced the punishment for Sterling’s bigoted comments were an indefinite suspension and a measly fine, the Warriors were ready to make an historic statement.

Curry, David Lee, Jermaine O’Neal and Draymond Green were behind the boycott idea. The bold message the Warriors had plan was hatched at shootaround.

The idea included plans, if necessary, to reach out to the Clippers and share the plan. The hope would have been that the Clippers would join them, letting the jump ball drop to the hardwood while all the players walked off the court.

[Moss]

[tyven]
