Heat Players Protest Donald Sterling In Show Of Solidarity With Clippers Players (PHOTOS)




The Miami Heat let the players in the Los Angeles Clippers organization know that they're not alone. In an act of solidarity, the defending NBA champions reproduced the Clippers' silent protest against team owner Donald Sterling.

After emerging from the visitors' locker room at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte on Monday night, LeBron James and the Heat players huddled up at the center of the court. Just as the Clippers had done on Sunday when they took the floor in Oakland, the Heat players all ditched team-issued, branded shirts to reveal that they were wearing warm-up shirts inside out to obscure the team name and logo.

the things she was seeking (besides money)? See, that's the sort of sh*t I don't get, really.

I listened to the tape and Sterling was implying that there was an image problem with consorting with African-Americans. Consorting wasn't the problem, being seen with them was. He was so matter of fact and clear about that, that it seemed like there is some sort of unwritten rule agreed upon by the wealthy. Don't be seen with black people. Privately it's OK. But publically, not so.

I think this is a systemic problem and that Sterling is not unique in the least.
