It's an interesting dilemma to say the least.

I don't think it would be right to penalize the fans and not play knowing they had nothing to do with it.

I also wouldn't put on that jersey with Sterling still as the owner.

.@cjbycookie and I will never go to a Clippers game again as long as Donald Sterling is the owner.

The Clippers are 14 very realistic wins away from Donald Sterling being handed the Larry O'Brien trophy.
