LA Clippers Owner Donald Sterling to Girlfriend: Don't Bring Black People to My Games


TMZ Sports has obtained audio of LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist comments during a heated argument on April 9th with his girlfriend V. Stiviano after she posted a photo on Instagram posing with Magic Johnson.

Sterling rails on Stiviano -- who ironically is black and Mexican -- for putting herself out in public with a black person (she has since taken the pic down). But it doesn't end there.  Among the comments (via TMZ):

-- "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?" (3:30)

-- "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games." (5:15)

-- "I’m just saying, in your lousy f***** Instagrams, you don’t have to have yourself with, walking with black people." (7:45)

-- "...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games." (9:13)





UPDATE - The NBA is investigating the issue, according to NBC Sports: “We are in the process of conducting a full investigation into the audio recording obtained by TMZ. The remarks heard on the recording are disturbing and offensive, but at this time we have no further information.”
