When Sterling was busted making racially sensitive comments earlier this past summer and subsequently lost ownership of the Clippers, many believed that the league delivered justice. Cheaplle. who is in the middle of a comeback, made some interesting comments about the Sterling controversy. Hit the jump for details.
Via Yahoo Sports:
In a freshly-released interview with Gentleman’s Quarterly, however, Chappelle sides with the former owner’s attempts to keep his team, falling prey to the same line of thinking that too many Donald Sterling supporters often attempt to cite properly. From GQ:
What’d you think of the aftermath?
Ultimately, I don’t think he should have lost his team. I don’t like the idea that someone could record a secret conversation and that a person could lose their assets from that, even though I think what he said was awful. When you think about the intimacy of a situation, like, can a man just chill with his mistress in peace?* I just don’t like when things like that happen, because if they take s–t away for things that people say that are objectionable, I may not have anything in a few years. Granted, I don’t think I say s–t like “Stop bringing white people to my game.”
