Kudos to the Los Angeles Clipper players who in the midst of the firestorm of criticism headed their owner's way over his racist comments, are trying to handle this difficult situation the best way they can. Before yesterday's 118-97 playoff loss to the Golden State Warriors that deadlocked their series at 2-2, the Clipper players held a meeting to decide if they were even going to play the game..
They decided to do so, but wore their warmup jersey shirts inside out to hide the Clipper logo. They wore their normal game uniforms, but with black socks and armbands.
They along with their NBA brethren have been vocal about the disgusting comments from serial bigot and longtime LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling that are threatening to overshadow the NBA playoffs. They are also causing a major PR headache for the team, the league and new commissioner Adam Silver.
Tuesday Game 5 in LA should be very interesting.
