Donald Sterling, the owner of the LA Clippers, is receiving more backlash due to his recent racist remarks.




Basketball player Lebron James can be added to the list of public figures who were dissatisfied with the comments Sterling, also a married man, made about his mistress/girlfriend accompanying African Americans to Clippers games and posting Instagram pictures with those individuals.




“If the reports are true, it’s unacceptable. It’s unacceptable in our league,” James said in a transcript provided by the Miami Herald's Heat Check blog. “It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, Hispanic, whatever, all across the races. It’s unacceptable and as a commissioner in our league, they have to make a stand, and they have to be very aggressive with it. I don’t know what it’s going to be, but you just can’t have that in our league. We’re the model citizens of all sports around the world and because we’re the most recognizable, I mean, it figures. You see us all the time, you see our logos, you see our players, and for an owner to come out and say the things that he said, it’s very disrespectful, it’s very appalling and one of my best friends and dear friends plays on his team in Chris Paul and I haven’t had an opportunity to talk to him, but I can only imagine what’s going through his head.”




Kobe Byrant, the infamous LA Lakers player who shares a stadium with Sterling's Clippers, voiced that he couldn't play for an owner with such opinions.








Then there was renown rapper Snoop Dogg who issued a big "f#ck you" to Sterling and his mother via Instagram.









TMZ was the media conglomerate that initially leaked a taped conversation of Sterling yelling at Stiviano, who happens to identify herself as black and Mexican, for her association with African Americans. In fact, an excerpt from the audio revealed that the Clippers owner had a problem with his girlfriend posting an Instagram picture with Magic Johnson, who is currently protesting against Clippers games due to the incident. Sterling has yet to be punished for his racist comments.
