Clippers get their asses kicked and blame their bad performance on Donald Sterling

LOS ANGELES — All the way to the Staples Center loading dock and the most unfair of offseasons, Doc Rivers still was doing it the right way.

The Los Angeles Clippers coach, unlike his team's fans in those final moments of the season-ending104-98 Game 6 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, wasn't throwing things or shouting obscenities at any referee who dared come his way. He walked slowly and quietly out into the night, the arm of his daughter, Callie, wrapped around him and a look of peace on his face.

But was he angry, incensed that banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling's hateful words sparked this controversy that enveloped his championship-caliber team for these past three weeks? Of course he's angry.

Blaming Sterling is ignorant, but what do you expect from a group of foul mouthed thugs?

Better luck next year, guys - go cry in your Ripple!

Recording Donald Sterling’s Racist Comments: A Crime?

By rohan On May 13, 2014

A crime may have been committed when Donald Sterling implored V. Stiviano not to publicly associate with minorities—but not by the shamed Los Angeles Clippers owner. (The government can’t punish Sterling for that kind of speech, but the NBA can. (See An Actual Example of Free-Speech Infringement.))

Stiviano, a 31-year-old employed as Sterling’s “archivist” but rumored to be his mistress, apparently recorded the inflammatory conversation in September of last year. In it, Sterling utters several statements that, when stripped of social media references, appear to be from the segregation era:

“I’m just saying, in your lousy f—ing Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself . . . walking with black people. Admire him, bring him here, feed him, f— him, I don’t care. You can do anything. But don’t put him on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me.”

REAL ISLAM !!!

And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers. (Quran 2:191-193)

Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. (Quran 4:34)

They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper. (Quran 4:89)

This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement. (Quran 5:33)

When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ˜I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them! (Quran 8:12)

Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged. (Quran 8:60)

Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. (Quran 9:5)

Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled. (Quran 9:29)

Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph. (Quran 9:111)

O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing. (Quran 9:123)

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray. (Quran 47:4)
