Truthfully, I am mostly shocked that Dwyer didn't mention how the entire promotion is based on Sterling assuming that the underprivileged children would be black or that somehow admitting underprivileged children of any race would be a celebration of black history.

  Not to make light of racial issues, but after reading "based on Sterling assuming that the underprivileged children would be black" brought to mind the question of whether they'd turn away underprivileged white or hispanic youths. A PR genious he's not.

I think Baron Davis has to be just a little bit happy that he doesn't have to deal with Sterling anymore.
