Sterling's son-in-law, a Clippers executive, denounces alleged statements made by father-in-law

Donald Sterling's son-in-law, Eric Miller, who serves as the Director of Operations for the Clippers, helping to run the day-to-day operation of the team, voiced his displeasure with his father-in-law's alleged comments in a statement released by TMZ Sports on Monday.

I find the statements and representations made by the Clippers' team owner to be deplorable and disgusting.  There is no room in sports or society in general, for racism.

I pledge my full support for the wonderful players, coaches and staff members of the Clippers organization.  I have complete faith that Commissioner Silver will deal with this matter swiftly and severely.

If these comments should happen to cost me my employment with the team, it is but a small price to pay to speak out against ignorance and racism.

Eric's wife and Donald Sterling's daughter, Joanna Sterling Miller, added she is "devastated and saddened by the cruel and insensitive comments expressed in these audio tapes."

Miller was reportedly being groomed to run the team somewhere down the line.
