Tommy Lasorda backs Sterling, hopes V. Stiviano ‘gets hit by a car’

Why don’t you tell us how you really feel, Tommy?

Tommy Lasorda, the 86-year-old former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, said in an interview with WPBF-TV in Florida he wasn’t surprised by Donald Sterling’s racist remarks, and he also had some unkind words for V. Stiviano, Sterling’s mistress who is at the center of the controversy.

“I’ve been a friend of that guy for 30 years,” Lasorda said of his relationship with Sterling. “It doesn’t surprise me, and he shouldn’t have said it. He just hurt himself by talking too much and doing things that he shouldn’t be doing.”

Lasorda then delivered this morbid line about Stiviano:

“I don’t wish that girl any bad luck, but I hope she gets hit by a car.”
