U.S. basketball players have staged a silent protest following reports that their team's owner had been secretly recorded making racist remarks. The Los Angeles Clippers went through a pre-match routine on Sunday with shirts on inside-out to hide the team's logo. The National Basketball Association is investigating a report on celebrity news website TMZ that Clippers owner Donald Sterling made the remarks.
