| NAACP: Sterling Will Not Be Awarded Lifetime Achievement Honor |
| 2014-04-28 |
| "Let me make it clear, the NAACP will not be honoring Mr. Sterling at the upcoming Los Angeles branch event and (here's where a former girlfriend's vengeance goes from surreal to sublime - UP) we have strongly urged our Los Angeles unit to take the necessary steps to rescind the previous award they bestowed on him," she said. |

| #11 Sterling sells Clippers to an anxious NBA consortium for twice their actual worth. Sterling walks away with a huge smile. It was all theater. |

| #10 He was prior a grade A asshole that moved the San Diego Clippers to OC. Nothing's changed |

| #9 apparently he added a couple zeroes on that check. L.A. NAACP is willing to "forgive" if he makes proper "penance and learning" |

| #8 Yet another inconvenient truth. Sterling is the elephant who has been LIVING in the family room for years. They cashed the old bastids checks and looked the other until their fok'n HYPOCRACY was REVEALED! Now they want their sugar daddy under the bus. Here is a revealing article from 2009. |

| #7 Indulgences - the Old Church would grant dispensation in return for paying for one's sin. It was one of the great tours through Europe of such that prompted this Martin Luther guy to peg a list of questions about 'principles' on a church door in Wittenberg. The rest as they say is (bloody) history. |

| #6 Exactly. If this guy is the monster they say he is, then wouldn't his behavior had been picked up long before the consideration of this second award? How'd he get the first? |

| #5 I'll bet JJ could save his bacon for a $50 million love donation to p.u.s.h. |

| #4 If he did get the award there would be no pictures of the event; per Sterling's own preference. |

| #3 Obviously Sterling hasn't given enough money to "The Cause." |

| #2 That's the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. So, Mr. Sterling was incorrect in not referring to them as 'colored'? /sarc off File under - we get to use any term we want for each other, but you damn well better not use the same words in reference to us. Right Spike? |

| #1 If only Sterling had not strayed from his "First Amendment Zone" none of this would have happened. |
