The Los Angeles Clippers players are getting ready for their NBA playoffs match up with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, although the focus isn’t much on the game right now. No, the focus has unfortunately been put on the recent allegations against owner Donald Sterling and racist remarks that he made toward his girlfriend.
More specifically, the focus has been put on whether or not the team would make any sort of statement in response to everything that has gone down, and during their warm-ups for Game 4 on Sunday, that did make that statement by dropping their usual warm-up attire at mid-court and turning their shirts around, not advertising the organization.
So for anyone that wondered whether or not the team would do anything, there’s the answer–yes they would, and they did. Although there are still reports that they are planning something before Game 5 in Los Angeles as well.
Also, the Clippers weren’t the only ones showing signs of protest as the Warriors fans were out in full force as well.
