Los Angeles Clippers team owner Donald Sterling is under fire for allegedly making racist comments in a recording unearthed by TMZ.
In the audio, a man identified as Sterling reprimands his girlfriend, V. Stiviano (who, for the record, is half black, half Mexican), for taking a photo with famed NBA star Magic Johnson and posting it to Instagram.
“It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to?” he said.
Now that the NBA is investigating who is actually on the recording, Twitter has had time to react to the whole thing. Here’s what users had to say.

Apparently even the clouds need to worry about Sterling’s wrath now, too.
A black cloud hangs over Warriors-Clippers series. But if it avoids certain pictures it might pass for a delicate Latina one #DonaldSterling — Max Kellerman (@Max_Kellerman) April 27, 2014
But the best was Judd Apatow’s rant.
My deal to buy the Clippers is closed. Lots of new rules to announce. First of all– all races and religions are allowed to attend games. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) April 28, 2014
All Instagram photos are encouraged. Even if they are of you making love to my mistress. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) April 28, 2014
He’s such a kind person.
You can attend even if you made love to my mistress. Regardless of your race and religion. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) April 28, 2014
Literally EVERYONE is invited.
Magic Johnson is encouraged to attend Clippers games. So is Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Hal Linden, Ron Glass but not Jack Soo (RIP)

I promise not to heckle my own players regardless of their level of play, race, religion, or relationship with mistress numbers 2-6.

Now he’s asking for a bit too much.
I will accept all NAACP awards but only if the award is given to me by Oprah Winfrey, Gail, Charlie Rose, Joan Lunden, or David Hartman. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) April 28, 2014
But we guess he makes up for it with this promise.
If the Clippers do not win the championship this year I will give full refunds for all tickets sold in the year 2012. — Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) April 28, 2014
And all things considered, this isn’t too big of a request.
No one is too look me in the eye when I attend games except Billy Crystal, James Brooks, Adam McKay and Max Gail.
