Magic Johnson, the retired NBA star dragged into the Los Angeles Clippers racism controversy, called Tuesday for the firing of Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry over unrelated racist remarks. A photo of Johnson with the former girlfriend of then-Clippers owner Donald Sterling led to racist comments from Sterling that later saw him banished from the NBA for life and the Clippers sold. Racist remarks by Ferry in June regarding African-born British NBA star Luol Deng were made public Monday.
