It's interesting--I just listened to a lengthy segment of the tape on sports radio driving in between appointments this morning.  I had a very similar reaction--he sounds like an old fool--a bigoted fool, to be sure--but came across as more of a jealous boyfriend than an overt racist.  Some of the stuff he said was clearly racist, but it was also rambling and he was in the middle of an argument.  Seemed to me that his main point was kind of what you insinuate above--and that he was tired of hearing about her from people he knows, as opposed to the sh/tstorm some are making it out to be.

No question, he's a racist.  But it wasn't like this was a public incident, or him using the "N" word flagrantly, or him doing discriminatory things in terms of how he runs the Clippers.  This was him being taped during an argument that got heated.

And I'm not making excuses for Sterling.  He's a jackass.  I just feel like this automatically turned into a witch hunt because of the subject matter.
