Eh, not anything new. Donald Sterling is a poor excuse of a human being, let alone an NBA owner. He's a racist, sexist, self-absorbed asshole with a shitload of money. And that last part seems to make up for all the rest of it in the eyes of the NBA.
The Clippers are profitable. That's all they care about. Doesn't matter how many losing seasons they've had, they're in LA, free arena, amazing tv/sponsor deals = more $ earned than $ spent. Wish someone else could take over the Clips and make them a decent organization.
