Bill Plaschke Takes On Donald's Sterling's 'Black History Month' Ad

Finally, someone at the LA Times had the guts to stand up and say the obvious: Clippers owner Donald Sterling‘s ads in their paper are ridiculous and even offensive.

In his most recent column, Times sportswriter Bill Plaschke takes Sterling to task for his Sunday ad in the paper, which purports to celebrate Black History Month by allowing 1,000 “underprivileged” kids in to tonight’s Clippers game for free.

Writes Plaschke:

The other problem is the date of the “Black History Month” giveaway, which is March 2 against Houston.
