There are some people so objectively awful that abusing them can be a form of healthy entertainment. SB Nation‘s David Roth takes the pig-bladder to a lovely couple:
Things will be different for the Clippers next season. Everyone on the team will be a year older, teammates will have to deal with Spencer Hawes demanding to listen to Sean Hannity at max volume in the weight room and of course the Western Conference will offer new challenges. Life will go on without exiled owner Donald Sterling, a medically induced erection sculpted out of expired Milk Duds, and will be much more pleasant for that.
And yet all the important things will be the same: there will be the leadership of Doc Rivers on the sideline, the restless virtuosity of Chris Paul on the court and a nightmarish leatherette bigotry sac with the last name Sterling sitting courtside, generally stinking up the joint with the full vinegary force of their repellence.
In this case, it will be Rochelle Sterling, Donald’s estranged wife and longtime partner in discriminatory housing/general bigoted odiousness, who is remaining with the team as a sort of owner emeritus/inoperable non-malignant goiter. She will receive a number of perks and legally-binding superlatives…

Now that the deal with Balmer is cut, can we please stop talking about these pimples on our backside?

Didn’t Donald Sterling’s “punishment” consist of having to eat a profit of US$1,988 million on the Clippers? Never being able to sit at courtside again seems trivial compared to that.

Can you help? I have two comments in moderation on the previous thread. One needs to be deleted and the other set free.

@Amir Khalid: People say that a lot, and yeah, he made a bunch of money. He would’ve made a bunch of money even if he was Gandhi/MLK reborn.
What’s important is that he was kicked out of one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. That’s what stings.
