LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is being sued by a woman who alleges that while she was employed by him, they had a romantic relationship and that he subjected her to racially and sexually offensive comments. E. J. Manuel Jersey . The complaint filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges that Maiko Maya Kings resistance to Sterlings "stream of racist and sexist taunts" caused him to retaliate against her and terminate her employment as his personal assistant and caretaker in May. King, who is represented by high-profile attorney Gloria Allred, alleges discrimination, retaliation and "intentional infliction of emotional distress" and demands a jury trial. Sterlings lawyer, Bobby Samini, said the suit was "baseless and ridiculous." He added: "She was never employed by Donald Sterling. Her claim was obviously prompted by opportunistic motives." The lawsuit comes after Sterling was banned for life and fined US$2.5 million by the NBA for publicized racist remarks. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver worked to oust him as owner of the team until his wife, Shelly Sterling, concluded a deal last week to sell it to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. The $2 billion deal still needs to be approved by NBA owners. King was romantically involved with Donald Sterling from 2005 through 2011 while she worked for him and his foundation, but they often "argued about his racist views," the suit states. King was previously married to a black man and had two children. According to the lawsuit, Sterling allegedly asked her: "How could you be married to a black man?" and "Why would you bring black people into the world?" He allegedly also told her "I want to take you out of the black world and put you into the white world." Because of the racist comments, Sterling and King broke up in 2011, the suit states. But when Kings father died in 2013 she returned to work for Sterling knowing V. Stiviano was his girlfriend now. King said she accompanied him to doctor appointments, made sure he took his medications on time, took walks with him and accompanied him to business meetings. The suit states that contrary to his agreement to pay her $10,000 a month, "Sterling dangled money only if she would have sex with him" and told her he was "bored with V." She also alleges that he would humiliate her in public by groping her, and relates multiple other incidents of alleged sexual harassment. Sterling "created an intimidating oppressive, hostile and offensive work environment based upon sex," the complaint states. Bruce Smith Bills Jersey . - A momentary lapse in focus Saturday night proved costly for the Vancouver Whitecaps. Anthony Dixon Bills Jersey . On July 27 cyclings best-known race will host "La Course by Le Tour de France" -- a one-day womens competition staged hours before Tour riders race on the same circuit to finish the three-week event on Paris Champs-Elysees.WINNIPEG -- Marian Hossa celebrated his return to the lineup with the winner in the third period Thursday night as his Chicago Blackhawks stumbled but didnt fall and downed the Winnipeg Jets 6-3. Patrick Kane, Brandon Saad, Jonathan Toews and Ben Smith also scored for Chicago (15-4-4), who have won all three of their games against the Jets this season. Patrick Sharp had an empty netter to end the game. Andrew Ladd, Keaton Ellerby and Dustin Byfuglien scored for the Jets (10-11-3). The first period was all Blackhawks, who seldom let the Jets have the puck. Jets fans picked Chicagos Kane as a target for their boos but he responded with a power-play goal late in the period, thanks to a tripping penalty awarded to Winnipegs Evander Kane. After stopping a lot of pucks, Ondrej Pavelec didnt get much of a look at the shot through heavy traffic in front of the Winnipeg net. The Jets were outshot 12-2 in the period. Saads one-timer from the slot made it 2-0 just over three minutes into the second. But then the game took sharp left turn for the Hawks, as the Jets scored two goals in 29 seconds to tie it up. Bryan Little fed Ladd, whose wrist shot beat Corey Crawfords glove hand at 3:22, and Ellerby used Winnipegs first power play of the game to score his first as a Jet from the point at 3:51. Toews put the Blackhawks back in the lead with a 4-on-4 goal just past the 11-minute mark, beating out defenceman Toby Enstrom and slipping the puck past Pavelec from the side of the crease. But the Hawks then served up a 5-on-3 opportunity that Byyfuglien cashed in at 13:30, with Winnipegs third shot on Crawford within seconds, to even it up again. Robert Woods Bills Jersey. The shots told the story in the second, with the Jets ahead 14-8. Hossa, who was sidelined for a few games with an injury, put the Blackhawks ahead at 3:11 of the third when he outplayed Ellerby while swinging past the Jets net, slipping the puck through a very small hole left by Pavelec as he moved to cover. Smith raced in to bang in a rebound for some insurance at 5:22 to make it 5-3. A Winnipeg radio station had been urging fans to wear helmets to the game in response to a Chicago fan who stole Adam Pardys after the Jets defenceman was checked through the glass at the United Center on Nov. 6. But the Jets didnt like the idea and told fans they wouldnt get in if their showed up with helmets on Thursday night. There was a heavy police presence at the game but it wasnt because of the rivalry between the two Central Division teams. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in attendance. Notes: The Jets and Blackhawks play once more, Jan. 26 in Chicago...Its a small league: Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien played for the Blackhawks and Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff was assistant GM when Chicago won a Stanley Cup in 2010. Michael Frolik was with the Blackhawks when they won the Cup last season. Chicago captain Jonathan Toews was born in Winnipeg and original Jets goalie Nikolai Khabibulin, who went with the team when it moved to Phoenix in 1996, still plays for the Blackhawks, although hes out right now with a lower-body injury. wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
