Oprah Winfrey is one of potential buyers of Los Angeles Clippers
after the owner, Donald Sterling, came under fire for making racist
comments against black people. The OWN founder joins billionaires David
Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the NBA team if the league votes to force Sterling to sell it.
"Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team become available," her spokesperson Nicole Nichols confirms in a statement.
The former daytime talk show host is one of the stars vocally slamming Sterling over his rant in which he banned his mistress from hanging out with minorities. She said on "CBS This Morning" that the offensive remarks reminded her of "a plantation mentality in the 21st century, in 2014. It just doesn't fit."
