    As always, free speech has consequences. 1A protects you from the government but not private entities. His penis however, didn't seem to suffer from racism. Guess it's still a tradition to mount your slaves in America.

    Funny coincidence that the NBA commissioner who announced Donald Sterling's boot was named Adam Silver.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Donald Sterling Apologizes

    LOS ANGELES (The Borowitz Report)—The Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling offered a “total and remorseful” apology for his racist comments today, telling reporters, “Once I saw that Donald Trump was defending me, I knew I had done something horribly wrong.”

    Sterling acknowledged that he had turned a blind eye to a mountain of criticism from basketball luminaries and national leaders, but said that seeing Trump defend him on Fox News on Monday had left him “shaken.”

    “Look, I know I’m not perfect,” he said. “But when Donald Trump takes your side, you have to take a long, hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, ‘Have I become some kind of monster?’”
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    If only. At his age, he's been getting away with every kind of shit for so long, he's come to believe he is entitled and can do no wrong.

    He's over 80 and banned from the NBA for life! So what's that? Like a 5 year sentence?
