Don Sterling hates human beings. This has been pretty thoroughly documented and doesn't need further documentation here. But Sterling's stewardship of the Los Angeles Clippers -- one of the most anonymous "other" teams in any of sports' two-franchise cities -- continues to provide evidence for those who remain unconvinced.
Dunleavy’s $13 Million Arbitration Win Reminds Us That Don Sterling Is Evil
In this case, though, the callous manner in which Sterling treats employees is set to cost the franchise $13 million after former GM and head coach Mike Dunleavy won an arbitration case against the team.
The Clippers had quit paying Dunleavy immediately after firing him last year, on March 8, and he was forced to take the organization to binding arbitration. He had been owed $6.75 million on the contract, $1.35 million for the remainder of the 2009-10 season and $5.4 million for the season just completed.
That’s right -- they not only fired Dunleavy (by midseason press release), but decided not to pay him millions of dollars to which his contract apparently entitled him. The chances that even a multimillion dollar verdict will change Sterling is next to zero. But at least his quasi-evil behavior finally cost the Clippers something.
