CarMax is not feeling the comments and have decided to change its relationship with the L.A. Clippers. Brands can not and will not align themselves with bad press. Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Paula Deen, and now Donald Sterling is feeling the heat of loose words and sinking ships.
Check out the details below.
According to the homies over at TMZ; Massa Donald Owner Sterling’s comments have lost the basketball team one of their first sponsors. The homies over at CarMax has just announced that due to the RACIST, RACIST, RACIST comments made by Donald Sterling they can’t move forward with their sponorship of the LA Clippers after nine long years of working together. A rep for CarMax — the largest used car retailer told TMZ,
“CarMax finds the statements attributed to the Clippers’ owner completely unacceptable. These views directly conflict with CarMax’s culture of respect for all individuals. While we have been a proud Clippers sponsor for 9 years and support the team, fans and community, these statements necessitate that CarMax end its sponsorship.”
I am sure this is the first of many brands that will be running away from this RACIST, RACIST, RACIST train wreck. Story is developing!
Spotted on TMZ.
I am not surprised by any of this.
OMG—Leave The White Man Alone—WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!! They call each other the N word all the time and its accepted. Rick Ross has a song and the only word he says is N, N, N and is making millions on it. I bet Sterling wishes he would have called them Niggers instead of black people. This is nothing more then a WITCH HUNT!!! It’s so funny that everyone wants to beat him up and say he’s a bigot—Black people are the most raciest people on earth so get it right–if a white person says anything then OMG it’s taboo–Please Nigga–Blacks are the first one to run and play the race card. That little girlfriend of his sure was an expensive piece of ass it cost him 2.5 Million and a ban for life! Truth be know she probably had a Lot of BBC on the side!
