"I'm a good member who made a mistake and I'm apologizing and I'm asking for forgiveness," he told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an exclusive interview set to air on Monday. "Am I entitled to one mistake, am I after 35 years? I mean, I love my league, I love my partners. Am I entitled to one mistake? It's a terrible mistake, and I'll never do it again."

No mistake was made by Sterling, he said privately what everyone says in private.

Only Christians and Christ forgive. Sterling is gonna learn the hard way about humanism.

Sterling all you need to do is ask your wife for forgiveness for your adulteries.


Apologize to the people staff and tenants whom you've mistreated.

Confess the name of Christ and lead a life of hard work, truth and humility.
Join a faithful bible believing Calvinistic church.

And when you do such you will be hated even more .

He's gotten away with it for over thirty damn years. What's another free pass?

Neither do I, really...

I feel genuinely bad for Sterling...He's a doddering old man...But the Clippers are a franchise. The only difference is the Clippers are like a Subway franchise on steroids. The NBA is the franchisor and they ultimately have control over their franchises.

Do you think if I owned a Subway in Los Angeles and said I don't like Mexicans and Mexicans started boycotting just not my Subway but every other Subway causing the value of every Subway to plummet Subway wouldn't force me to sell my franchise?

He's gotta go because he's pissed to many of the wrong people off, simple as that.

That being said I feel like if someone did my little old grandma like that I would be made. She's 86 and you could get her to say stuff that would sound very racist and offensive by todays standards. She's from a different time, where she comes from she is progressive. She'll tell you she does not think that blacks and whites should associate. Stuff much like what Sterling said. That does not make her a bad person or a racist. She's just from a different time. Someday their going to think all of us are backward thinking old men for not liking to take it in the ass or something like that. The guy was made because he was getting shit from his buddies about well hung black men banging his mistress.
