Magic Johnson
The Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has recently made some ugly comments in a conversation with V. Stiviano about Minorites, and Blacks in particular - hear the full audio by clicking this link.

Magic Johnson has since commented on this matter, saying, "He shouldn't own a team anymore.  I had a friendship with him. So for him to then make these comments, or alleged comments, about myself as well as other African-Americans and minorities, there's no place in our society for it. There's no place in our league, because we all get along. We all play with different races of people when you're in sports. That's what makes sports so beautiful."

President of The United States Barack Obama added, "I don't think I have to interpret those statements for you, they kind of speak for themselves," Obama said. "When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything. You just let them talk. And that's what happened here."President of The United States Barack Obama added, "I don't think I have to interpret those statements for you, they kind of speak for themselves," Obama said.

Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan, 6 Time NBA Champion and current Charlotte Bobcats owners added, "As an owner, I'm obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views," Jordan said. "I'm confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly. As a former player, I'm completely outraged.

"There is no room in the NBA -- or anywhere else -- for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed. I am appalled that this type of ignorance still exists within our country and at the highest levels of our sport. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level."

LeBron James on Donald Sterling's comments:
"Obviously, if the reports are true, it's unacceptable in our league," James said. "It doesn't matter, white, black or Hispanic -- all across the races it's unacceptable. As the commissioner of our league, they have to make a stand. They have to be very aggressive with it. I don't know what it will be, but we can't have that in our league."

Kobe Bryant sent out this tweet:
