    Yeah, I see that too ...and it is a problem.

    The whole ad is one giant FAIL.

    I'm glad the Rockets will join Blake Griffin, Donald Sterling and 1000 other underprivileged children to celebrate Black History Month in March.

    It's very fitting because the Rockets don't have a superstar and are thus an underprivileged team to which underprivileged children can relate.

    1) Wrong month.
    2) No black player in the ad.
    3) Insinuating all underpriviliged children are black and/or vice versa.

    Are they going to take only black underprivliged children? It would be weird to take white kids because they're doing it for black history month, but it would also be rascist to only take blacks. Whatever. Not my probelm to solve/

    It's just terrible all around. They might have had good intentions but it was executed extremely poorly.

    With the "Right Owner" the Clippers are an NBA goldmine. Unfortunately, Sterling will NEVER be that owner. Just more proof of that.

    Blake is half-black but more importantly, Sterling is such a piece trash. It disgusts me how much evil crap he gets away with. Why does such a blatant racist still get to own a team in the NBA? Oh, right, cuz he has lots of money. Disgusting.

    I don't think it was with poor intent, this is just another example of how poor the Clippers are managed.
