Earlier this afternoon in Los Angeles a judge ruled against Donald Sterling in his lawsuit to retain ownership of the L.A. Clippers. As a result of the ruling, the team may now be officially sold. Thank you to all those who signed this petition to remove Donald Sterling as Clippers' owner. His remarks were dispicable and his long history of racism and discrimination deserved to finally be addressed. Today it was addressed in a significant and resounding way. But this court ruling could not have been possible without the voices of every day citizens who refused to sit in silence while hatred dominated. Racism is real, addressing it directly is the only appropriate action when it threatens to infringe upon hard-fought racial progress in American society. America still has a long way to travel before we arrive at the destination of full, racial equality and equity in every area of American life, but part of the journey is defending the ground that has already been won. Thank you for all your support. Timothy Dwight Smith Founder/CEO ContraCritic News http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=11277942
