The new FX limited series Clipped tells the story of Donald Sterling, the then-owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, who was outed as a racist. Sterling's girlfriend – who was Black and Mexican – secretly recorded their conversations.

The series stars Ed O'Neill and Laurence Fishburne as the owner and the head coach who clashed as it all went down.
