Both made racist remarks which, given their history, were entirely predictable.
The moral? To fool Sean Hannity, you need to wear a cowboy hat. To fool the rest of us, you need to own a lot of real estate. And it helps if your victims are mostly poor tenants.

Donald Sterling appears to me to be a good test case of the idea libertarians have that the free market punishes racism. Will people stop going to the games? Unlikely. Will the players stop playing? They wore their warm up clothes inside out. Anything else is not in their economic interest.
I’m guessing he’ll be the owner until he dies.
There is Al Campanis to consider, and he did get fired. But it seems a lot more difficult to remove an owner than a coach or general manager. And while it is against the players economic interest it will be interesting to see where Chris Paul ends up now, and it seems that Doc Rivers is going to be very reluctant to continue to coach under Sterling.
Doc must have known something about it before taking the job.
In addition to African-Americans apparently he’s not keen on Koreans or Hispanics.
How about that girlfriend? He’s 80 for Pete’s sake. He should have seen her coming a mile away.
What does that mean, exactly?
What are you talking about?
It sounds an awful lot like you’re suggesting Sterling (his “real name” is whatever he changed it to legally not his given name) was set-up by “that girlfriend.”
Which sounds an awful lot like complete BS to me.
His wife was suing her. Is that not a soap opera in the making? He was a well known bigot who had paid out huge judgements because of his bigotry. Was there no LA police brutality until the Rodney King tape? It’s the same story- he’s now on tape, so it’s news.
