Donald Sterling, again, again.

Within the last month, previous owner of the Clippers, Donald Sterling, has been fired, sued, fined, and disgraced by a voice recording that taped him making derogatory statements about African Americans. Every news station, sports channel, and news paper cataloged every step in the process from Clippers owner to just another rich guy. From press releases to his front porch, people and reporters were looking for answers. The story of Sterling and his mistress were on the lips of everyone who knew anything about sports, or who looked at the news, for that matter.The whole issue got blown way up, and get ridiculous.

The fact that people are still involved in this issue is ludicrous. On June 3rd a new article was released called "Second Alleged Mistress Suing Sterling Over Racist, and Sexist Taunts" (Fox Sports). Apparently, Donald Sterling wasn't in the spot light enough and wasn't embarrassed enough the first time around. This article talks about that a supposed second mistress came forward about Sterling exposing more accounts of racist and sexist comments. So, of course, the media jumped all over that. Still, they want to expose this man and make his life everyone's issue.

Unfortunately, there is something to be said about Sterling's recent, and not so recent, behaviors. On the original recording he does seem to make less than favorable comments about African Americans. To "amend" the wrongs he has done, Sterling spent last Sunday at a predominately African American church and hired paparazzi photographers to follow him. This last act of hope was supposed to show his racial-sensitive side, but it just makes him look desperate.

There is a fault broken by Sterling, yes, but the whole issue should have been dealt with and over by now. Were there is blame to be placed, the whole country loves to join in and point fingers at the people who get caught, and who have some power, and these finger pointers will do anything to see this man fall. Hopefully, someday, we wont have to hear about Donald Sterling, and when that day comes I'm sure he'll just fly off in his hovercraft and live on the moon for the rest of his life.
