By the way, amidst all the recognition Donald Sterling is getting for being a terrible person because he is racist, we should add he is also a terrible person for thinking he's entitled to tell his girlfriend who she can and cannot hang out with in public.
Boycotting the Clippers is basically a moral imperative now. The market must demonstrate that the team is significantly less valuable in Sterling's hands than it would be in someone else's. That's easy for me to say since I don't have any standing as a season-ticket holder that I'm giving up or any playoff games that I'll be missing but ending racism isn't all voting for Obama and watching The Wire, Clippers fans.
And every basketball fan can join the boycott. Sterling benefits from revenue-sharing like every NBA owner so you are lining his thick racist pockets anytime you consume an NBA product until he sells. If he won't sell voluntarily then we need to convince the other 29 owners to force him out. Good thing the Stanley Cup playoffs are on right now.
