FX Is Releasing A TV Series About Former Clippers Owner Donald Sterling, And It Looks Awesome: TRAILER

Published|Updated

FX is dropping a series about former Clippers owner Donald Sterling's fall from grace, and it looks like it's going to be a must-watch.

Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers in 2014 and pushed out of the league after he told a woman - V. Stiviano - he was close with that he was bothered by the fact she was associating with black people. She recorded the comments and Sterling was quickly shown the door after the recordings were made public.

The most infamous part of the recording was when Sterling said, "You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games."

The situation turned into a disaster for the NBA. Players protested Sterling, fans were livid and it was a PR nightmare.

Now, FX will bring the situation to TVs around America.

FX dropped the trailer for "Clipped" Thursday, and the series with Laurence Fishburne and Ed O’Neill will shine a light on how everything collapsed for Sterling and his ownership of the Clippers.

Give the preview a watch below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

This series looks awesome, and FX has a great record when it comes to covering real events. The network released an amazing series about O.J. Simpson's infamous murder trial.

"The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" was television at its finest, and FX will now pull back the curtain on the scandal that resulted in Donald Sterling being thrown out of the NBA.

If that doesn't grab your interest, then you don't know great entertainment when you see it.
