Allegations that Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling made racist remarks have turned the embattled owner into a social pariah. He agreed not to attend Sunday night’s playoff game against the Golden State Warriors, but his wife, Shelly, from whom he is separated, was present.

Players took off their warmups and tossed them in a pile at center court, wore their practice jerseys inside-out, concealing the Clippers logo, and also wore black socks and armbands in protest. Shelly Sterling was clad in all black. Rub it in, Shelly, rub his face in it! LOL

In an exclusive statement obtained by TMZ posted Sunday night, Shelly appears to corroborate that it is indeed her husband’s voice on the tape:

“Our family is devastated by the racist comments made by my estranged husband. My children and I do not share these despicable views or prejudices,” she said. “We will not let one man’s small-mindedness poison the spirit of the fans and accomplishments of the team in the city we love. We are doing everything in our power to stand by and support our Clippers team.”
