Los Angeles Clippers Owner Donald Sterling Must Go!




Good morning. Check out my YouTube regarding Donald Sterling's racist remarks. Please comment, rate and subscribe.  After you watch the video, please sign the petition calling for Donald Sterling to step down as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. The petition states that:
In the wake of the audio recording of Los Angeles Clippers' owner Donald Sterling's racist remarks about African-Americans and other racial minorities, it is incumbent upon not only NBA leadership, specifically, NBA commissioner Adam Silver, but also all NBA owners to move in solidarity by taking any and all possible legal actions to force Donald Sterling to relinquish his ownership of the L.A. Clippers.

The NBA is a league made up of mostly African-American players. Some of the NBA's greatest stars, past and present, have also been African-American, and the league has marketed and promoted the names and images of stars like Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and Magic Johnson all over the world to increase the popularity of the game of basketball as well as the NBA's own financial interests.

Donald Sterling's remarks are reprehensible and repugnant, but most of all intolerable and a slap in the face to all NBA's players and fans who wish to live in a world that is more tolerant, more respectful, and more loving then what Donald Sterling obviously envisions by his narrow-minded, bigoted, and paranoid views on race.

NBA players and employees should not have to tolerate working for nor contributing to the enrichment of a racist miscreant like Donald Sterling. Immediate action should be taken by the NBA to ensure that those who are a part of the NBA family are treated with dignity and respect; this means ousting Donald Sterling and any others who espouse his hateful views from NBA ownership.
Sign the petition.

Royal Clipper The ships have all the modern comforts and amenities that you would expect in the present day, but retain a romance reminiscent of the grand age of sail. These are in essence, true clipper ships.
