Sterling behavior

Clippers owner Donald T. Sterling must be envious that the “other” Los Angeles NBA team — let’s see, they’re the … ummm … Lakers, right? — are always winning championships and setting records.

Well, now Sterling has a record of his own.

He’s agreed to pay a record $2.725 million to settle a housing discrimination lawsuit that claimed “he discriminated against African Americans, Hispanics and families with children at scores of apartment buildings he owns in and around Los Angeles."

This according to an L.A. Times story.

It continued, “The settlement, which must be approved by U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer, is the largest ever obtained by the Justice Department in a housing discrimination case involving apartment rentals, officials said.”

The largest EVER. Way to go, Donald T., you’re a champion at … ah … something — at last.
