Request the NBA to force Donald Sterling to step down as Clippers owner after his racist comments.

Created by D.G. on April 28, 2014

In the aftermath of the recent racist comments made by Clippers owner David Sterling, I ask the White House to look into the NBA and push towards a resolution to remove Mr. Sterling from ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The United States is a diverse nation with people from all races and ethnic backgrounds. There is no place for Mr. Sterling in a mostly African-American sports league. He is against the values of the majority of NBA fans and the civil rights of African American players in the league.

I understand it is not in the White House's interest to get involved with matters of private businesses owned by citizens like Mr. Sterling, but this is a very serious matter of civil rights and racial discrimination.
