Clippers owner pays $2.73 million in discrimination settlement
And here I thought the Clippers had problems because Blake Griffin is injured:
Los Angeles Clippers owner and real estate mogul Donald Sterling has agreed to pay a record $2.73 million to settle allegations by the government that he refused to rent apartments to Hispanics, blacks and to families with children, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

This isn’t even the first time this has been alleged; Sterling settled a similar lawsuit back in 2005. There is, of course, this irony: earlier this year the local NAACP affiliate weighed in on Sterling—they honored him with a lifetime achievement award. Go figure.
