lebron can go wherever he wants. who gives a fuck if he breaks all the hearts of ohio? stfu and get over yourself, your basketball team sucks so go get some more players. and lebron should be able to go where ever he wants to so fuck the haters. its his life, not urs.
Dude if you want to talk about racism in NBA, yeah most of the players are black but all the white owners control most of the coin, think about who is the man and who is the bitch, it is just a matter what is relative, were talking millions here compared to every day thousands. No matter how you spin it NBA teams are own by a geriatric white minority, so black players can play the race card. Deal with it 20 something white male.
IF WE MADE DECISIONS BASED ON OTHER PEOPLE'S CARES AND WANTS, WE WOULD ALWAYS NEGLET SELF AND FAMILY. HE IS A GROWN MAN...I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ACT LIKE RACISIM IS GONE...WHY DO MOST OF YOU WHITES DO THAT? EMBARRASED AT WHAT HAPPENED ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO?
it was taken out of context in the wrong way. he was saying how people viewed him and honestly he was right in what he said, race does have do to with how people view him because everyone is racist up to a certain point, he did not say anyone was being racist. and honestly from this video you sound like a another hater. he did what every other free agent does, it's a business not a fucking family. get over it
@ParadoX216H Ok so I saw on espn that nearly twice as many black fans support Lebron compared to white fans. Does this make the white people racist or the Black?
Because ill tell you right now if anything its the black fans who would be the racist ones..
@ttaayylloorrmmtt its not by race. dont view it by race. i think of it as the people who hate LeBron which obviously outnumber and outweigh the people who support him. ever since he was drafted i've always loved watching him play now that he plays for my favorite team just makes it all the better. and its ironic that Charles Barkley would rag on James for joining a superteam since he did the same damn thing in Houston. so.... its just that people are scared and they better be
@ttaayylloorrmmtt How is Lebron playing the race card? White ppl love Blacks as entertaniers but thats where it stops when Leborn decided to leave people were calling him a "Nigger" burning his jersey, and draging it. At the game yesteray they booed everyone except the white player who was an ex-cav as well. Also plenty of white ppl were drunk and yelling "Nigger" yesterday when lebron was on the court.
Yes, basketball players are getting paid a considerable amount of money in basketball and in sports as a whole, however do you realize there's disproportionate amounts behind the scenes? Sports generate more than-billion dollars in revenue, in addition majority of the highest paying jobs go to people whom are in business suits not jerseys. LeBron any the rest of the professional athletes understand these matter and feel like manipulated cash cows. Racism is not the word for this... it's greed...
@KingSolomonUW2004 That isnt true Playersfor get paid WAY!!! more then alomst everyone else in the Organization. Infact other then the owners ( and maybe the GM) The palyers make more then everyone else...
@ttaayylloorrmmtt This is not true. You realize your saying that a club owner who pays the whole team's roster, trainers and coaching staff makes less than the them... Business does not work that way in America or any country in the world. LeBron or any star athletes get more in endorsements than actually playing the sport. LeBron to me is breaking away from corporate machine claws and making a political statement, as well as showing the league must change their current system's in place or...
@KingSolomonUW2004 Yes But you have to understand thatn cost it takes to run in organization. They may make billions of dollars but it takes millions and millions of dollars just to run the operation. By proportion the players make more then anyone else. thats just how it goes, owners know that star players put fans in the seats soo they pay them the big dollars.
@ttaayylloorrmmtt ..stated that star players increase ticket sells, and return make sport team owners wealthy. Your reasoning seems to be that sport players are compensated well enough, so what's the big deal... Your argument supports a fallacy, which it's a deception. Big deal is without LeBron, and then businesses and whole the Cleveland economy will reduce it's profits. Yes, running a company takes a lot of capital, however the gains in billions going to corporate hands not in players hands..
The reason that LeBron James is now so disliked, is that he was a symbolic representation of the hopes of Cleveland fans. Cleveland fans wanted to believe that they could share in the Los Angeles and Boston experience. They wanted to believe that the NBA is not rigged in accord with economic circumstance. He represented the belief that their own home grown savior could lift this burden, and in an instant he made all of their fears a reality. It's not the skin, it's the soul.
When you get right down to it, anyone is going to have a hard time making a legitimate argument for racism in this case. The media creates this scenario, and claims no responsibility for what these athletes say. At the same time, I remember last season when LeBron told the media he would no longer answer questions concerning his free agency. It becomes clear that LeBron lacks foresight, as his indecisiveness made for the obvious line of questioning.
No one called anyone racist. Reporters are in his face asking him unnecessary questions. Like LeBron said "People are looking too far into it. But at the same time, sometimes it does play a part in it. I've said what I had to say, and I'll continue to move on" And lebron raised 3 million dollars for the boys and girls club..... some ass hole
@FreshKiNg27 The reporters were asking unnecessary questions but that doesnt excuse his anwser, He said "race played a role". Lebron isnt the victom he needs to stop acting like one. In what way does race play a part? Because all those people who burned his jerseys alos bought.
@ttaayylloorrmmtt I don't see how Lebron is playing the victim. And "race playing a role" and "racism" is 2 different things. He's not using an excuse for anything he's just speaking his feelings. You guys act like he made a press conference to state that race played a role. He was asked a question and he answered honestly. I respect him for at least doing that. He should be able to tell his honest opinion without people getting mad. "People are looking too far into it."
dude the video is not racist. theyll always be some black athlete that will have controversy. but yes great video. i never was a big lebron fan, but i dont blame lebron fans for wantnig to get at him
I hate it when black people use the race card just to garner sympathy. People hated on Lebron James because he acted like an asshole in how he went about choosing his new team, not because he's black. Look how many people hate Mark Maguire. He's white. People hate Roger Clemens. He's white. People hate on Tom Brady. He's white. People hate Ben Roethlisberger. He's white.
No one is gonna sympathize with a guy who makes MILLIONS of dollars. Lebron must be the richest "slave" ever.
@spinnernet1 (continued) Lebron James is just another spoiled, rich athlete. I could care less if he's black, white, hispanic, oriental asian or arab. He's just another narcissistic athlete who craves attention and thinks that they are the center of the universe. Scumbags like Lebron James come in all colors.
I just can't stand it when people play the race card for things that don't involve racism. It's 2010. The president of the U.S. has brown skin. It's time to move on.
@patricfurlife I've never knowingly been the victim of racism or prejudice. I'm not "treated" any differently than anyone else. Black people can go to the best schools/colleges. Black people can get the best jobs. No one is holding african americans back. Black people have just as much opportunities to be successful in life as anybody else.
I understand what you mean when you say that you're tired of the race card being pulled, b/c I am too. Many times it isn't hate against a certain race, it's hate towards a certain person. But, that's his point of view and his opinion and he can have it. You're not in his shoes and you don't know how he feels. You're on the outside looking in just like me and maybe you should try to see things from his point of view. And what's up with the title of your video? Nothing he said makes him racist.
@sweetblackgirl Its supposed to be a joke, but apparently no one got it. ha
Im not saying he is racist, it was just a stupid thing to say. Im not in his shoes but if I was I would be grateful for getting paid millions for doing what I love.
Im just saying he had to have seen this coming. He turned his back on all of Cleveland, obviously there gonna turn on him too. Plain and simple you shouldnt pull the race card unless it is actualy racist!!
@ttaayylloorrmmtt I guess...I would never burn a jersey that I paid for that's for sure. And I would never be mad at a person that I don't even know personally for making a great financial decision and career move. The upset fans are the ones with no lives, in my opinion.
lebron can go wherever he wants. who gives a fuck if he breaks all the hearts of ohio? stfu and get over yourself, your basketball team sucks so go get some more players. and lebron should be able to go where ever he wants to so fuck the haters. its his life, not urs.
