“The views expressed by Mr. Donald Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful. I am personally distraught that the views expressed by Mr. Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations.
To the players and pioneers of the game, in particular Magic Johnson, I apologize.
Effective immediately, I am banning Mr. Sterling from the NBA for life.
Mr. Sterling may not attend any NBA games or practices. He may not be present at any Clippers facilities and he will also be barred from attending NBA board meetings.
I am also fineing Mr. Sterling 2.5 million, the maximum amount allowed under the NBA Constitution.”

popularized by comments made by the Los Angeles Clipper's owner (of the same name), these are remarks or thoughts one may have in private, or between close friends/significant others, that if ever made public would result in negative reactions
guy 1: "I was looking through this girl's pictures on Facebook and came across pictures of when she was in high school. Is it wrong for me to think sexually about those pictures?"
guy 2: "That's that Donald Sterling Effect. Just don't let anyone find out and you're good."
