Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is the talk of the town, and none of it is very flattering.
Rapper Snoop Dogg already made his feelings clear about the “redneck white bread chickens–t” and NBA icon Magic Johnson pledged to never attend another Clippers’ game — unless he buys the team, of course — while Sterling’s estranged wife called her husband’s racist audio recording “despicable.”

Donald Sterling’s racist remarks? What he’s been saying for yrs. I think he should be stripped of his championship rings. All zero of them.

One of the most shocking things in this whole Donald Sterling controversy is that a man that old knows what Instagram is.

Yeah, it’s weird. I’m so disappointed to hear that Donald Sterling is a disgusting racist. He was always my favorite California Raisin.

The rotting antiquity known as Donald Sterling was also under the misapprehension that '12 Years A Slave' was a reality television series.

Of all comments everywhere one sentence will not be heard. "Who would have ever believed Donald Sterling would say something like that."
