leader s office is declaring victory. it was a pleasant surprise to us. i think from their perspective they had a massive pr failure and from our perspective we enjoyed it very much. we reached out to the redskins pr people and they didn t get back to us. there s also word of a second backfire as first reported by usa today and confirmed to cnn by two sources. the chairman of a tiny indian tribe from nevada said he was contacted by someone claiming a connection with the redskins and asked to attend a media event for the team. the chairman declined because he didn t like the team s approach and didn t want to be seen as speaking for all of indian country, according to a representative. joe johns, thank you so much. look who s here, wolf blitzer. you had a great interview with donald sterling s lawyer yesterday about him being declared mentally incapacitated. what s next? there are new developments. seems there s a done deal selling the clippers for $2
incapacitated. think how few interviews would be conducted here in washington, d.c., if being a jerk meant you were unable to function. what s the standard? you know, it s i really want my husband to sell this team, please make him mentally incapacitated. there is some definition in the trust documents where the that the silvers have to control the team. we don t have access to those. i mean, i think this is all on the way to just being resolved. i don t know if this is actually a forbidden process for donald to be involved in at this point. but remember in our interview yesterday with the lawyer for donald sterling, he said, lock, we want to give shelly the chaps to renoesht this deal. this is all going to fade away. that s what they did. all the objections are going to away and they ll make a lot of money. putting aside his apparent
racism, putting aside the kind of person he seems to be, at the end of the day these still seem like phone calls illegally taped and leaked to the media and he s being forced to sell the team. that s what his lawyer says and he s factually correct. there will be a big argument about a person losing a $2 billion entity over a private conversation. that will always be out there. the fact is, the moment it was made public i don t think they had any other choice. remember, he didn t lose it. he was forced to sell it. and he s made are a lot of money. it s not like they took the franchise. he turned the franchise into bo two million. under the law, as far as i can tell, he has a claim perhaps against v. stiviano if this was illegally taped. we don t know that for sure. but the nba was dealing with a situation where they were losing
leadership. what do you have to do to be disavowed by al qaeda? don t forget this s a history of this where bin laden and al zawahiri september a letter saying stop cutting off the heads of werpers and killing so many shia because the u.s. is using this as propaganda. it s causing a problem for al qaeda management in pakistan. thanks so much. coming up in the sports lead, a doctor s noetd that says donald sterling cannot make his own decision as a record offer comes in for the l.a. clippers. how long until he s really gone for good? plus, it seemed like a simple why, the redskins asking fans to help defend the name. we re supposing the team was not expecting the response it got.
