Disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling says he was “baited” into making the racist comments that have since earned him a lifetime ban from the NBA.
“When I listen to that tape, I don’t even know how I can say words like that. … I don’t know why the girl had me say those things,” Sterling told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in an interview airing air on Monday. “I was baited. I mean, that’s not the way I talk. I don’t talk about people for one thing, ever. I talk about ideas and other things. I don’t talk about people.”
