NBA: Discipline Team Owner for Housing Discrimination

SIGN PETITION BELOW!

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the largest settlement ever obtained in a rental housing discrimination case. The defendant: Los Angeles Clippers’ owner and mega-landlord Donald Sterling.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Sterling “Engaged in a pattern or practice of discriminating on the basis of race, national origin, and family status.” The DOJ stated that Sterling “refused to rent to African Americans” and that his conduct was "willful". This is not the first time that Sterling has paid out millions to make housing discrimination claims go away.

The National Basketball Association's response? No plans to investigate or comment.

Sign the petition below to urge the NBA to condemn racist housing discrimination and discipline Donald Sterling now.
