It is with great sadness 2 say this that I have been told by @LAClippers front office that they no longer want me 2 b Clipper Darrell

WTF is going on?

For fans who don't know who he is, Clipper Darrell is the guy whos constantly at Clipper games with the half red half blue suit on always being the loudest guy cheering for the Clippers.

i didnt know the front office gives a shit about a single fan

Damn really? That's kind of horrible. He's always been so passionate about the team and when they're finally good they tell him to leave? C'mon, this is like the stuff that people rag on the clippers for.

Then again, he could just buy his own tickets like most.

I saw him heavily recruiting JR and Kenyon earlier.

[FireDavidKahn]

What possible reason could there be for this?

[dab0yech0]

This guy is a loyal fan, Mark Cuban offered him 1 mil to be Maverick Darrell and he turned him down. Hope this doesn't foreshadow something in the future with our club.

One does not simply stop being Clipper Darrell

[Droid101]

I don't get it. A guy who goes to every game dressed up and getting fans involved (you can hear him start the "Let's go Clippers" chants from up in the nosebleeds) and asks for no compensation (that I know of), and they want him to stop?

WTF?

SMH, this dude advertises your shit for free all day, buys tickets every year, and you toss him to the side?

I AM DEVASTATED!!!

It is with great sadness that I must report to all those in NBA NATION that I have been told by Clipper management they no longer want me to be Clipper Darrell, a name that was given to me by the media because of my unwavering support and team spirit. I am devastated!!!!

I have been a season ticket holder for over a decade and a FAN for over 15 years and have dedicated a major part of my life to support the Clipper organization and it’s players no matter what the season’s outcome. Over the years (400 home games) I have gone to great lengths to show my appreciation and loyalty in my attire, the car I drive and in my very own home. I’ve taken seriously the mantra of being “Clipper Darrell” in performing community service, mentoring young children and my participation in outreach programs. I’ve appreciated the struggles of the team to overcome obstacles as I’ve done in my life. I felt vindicated for all the years we as Clipper fans have gone through trials and tribulations and NOW we have a team that can win it all. Yesterday was the hardest day of my life, I felt powerless as a fan, as I was stripped of my identity however, no one can take away my heart and the love I have for my team!

Donald Sterling always finds a way to f*ck something up had to have been him behind this

[InspiredLebowski]

Maybe they gave him a job and this is some poorly planned PR stunt? Just weird.

[blablabla]

fvck sterling

So what stops him from continuing to go to games as Clipper Darrell regardless?

[Whoah10115]

Pretty remarkably bad.
