And I have no sympathy for him. Absolutely zero, none, zilch. This is a guy with three decades worth of racist behavior, not just abhorrent comments. And whatever I think of his girlfriend, it has no impact on my evaluation of him. What does she have to do with it? You can't equate the two. Surely being a "gold digger" pales in comparison to paying out $2.65M to settle a lawsuit over discriminatory housing practices, and no doubt many other instances that haven't come to light? The largest ever payout, by the way.
Racism isn't about words. It's about actions and behavior, and how deeply they are still embedded in our society. If we ever want to truly make progress, we should deal with people like Sterling firmly, by showing the world that they have no place as the face of a major sports franchise.
