Sordid Subplot Appears To Show Another Ugly Side Of Donald Sterling

DYLAN SCOTT – APRIL 29, 2014, 6:00 AM EDT

There is a subplot in the ongoing saga of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his alleged racism, one that involves his much-younger girlfriend as well as his wife of more than 50 years.

It's sordid and ugly, but it helps to reveal the other side of Sterling: Not only does he appear to hold racially backward views, but he is also apparently something of a sexual libertine with extremely unpleasant thoughts to share about women.

Sterling's attitude about the women in his life made an appearance in the audio recording that exploded over the weekend. He allegedly instructed V. Stiviano, his younger girlfriend, to avoid appearing in public and at Clippers' games with black people. In a more extensive version of the tape published by Deadspin, the voice alleged to be Sterling also let Stiviano know exactly how much she means to him.

"I don't want to change," the voice attributed to Sterling says when Stiviano suggests that he can change his racial views. "If my girl can't do what I want, I don't want the girl. I'll find a girl that will do what I want! Believe me. I thought you were that girl -- because I tried to do what you want. But you're not that girl."

1. Some people's surprise must be really low if that's a surprise

Surprise! When it's raining your shirt gets wet.

Surprise! If you turn out the lights, it gets dark.

4. You're missing the meaning and use of the word Surprise...

in the headline (from TPM), e.g., when Ricky Martin came out, a friend of mine wrote, "surprise! The sun is yellow." Like my friend, TPM is being facetious.

7. Maybe some DU lawyers could explain something to me.

Does Sterling's wife really have a case in her lawsuit against Stiviano for accepting "gifts" that her idiot husband gave to her? To me, everyone involved in this mess is a train wreck, but wouldn't the wife's beef be with Sterling for giving this girl all this stuff. Was the girl supposed to say "Oh, no, I can't accept these gifts. You should give them to your wife". Jury duty isn't my favorite thing to do, but I would love to sit on this jury.
