Portland Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen just became the first white NBA owner to blast Donald Sterling ... calling his racist rant unacceptable in pro sports.
The Microsoft co-founder said, "The kind of statements attributed to Clippers owner Donald Sterling, if true, are abhorrent, and not acceptable for the owner of an NBA franchise."
Allen added, "We at the Trail Blazers reject any and all such sentiments."
Allen is the first white NBA owner to speak out against Sterling. Michael Jordan is the only other owner to say anything about Sterling's comments.
Allen called for the NBA to take "swift and impactful action."
