Rhoden said for starters, players can “stop using the n-word in the locker room.” He argued there is a double standard where people can say Sterling disrespected the black community, but then “you disrespect each other every day” by using the n-word around fellow players.

Rhoden even went so far as to say, “If you continue to disrespect yourself and call each other the n-word, then, you know, you are just as bad as Donald Sterling. So stop it.”
