Michael Jordan rarely speaks out publicly about controversial topics, but even he couldn't hold back from giving his opinion on the Donald Sterling controversy.
The Charlotte Bobcats owner gave a statement on the subject Sunday, April 27.
“I look at this from two perspectives – as a current owner and a former player. As an owner, I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views. I’m confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly. As a former player, I’m completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA – or anywhere else – for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed…. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level.”
