The more he talks, the happier I am he's gone.
At this stage in his life, he's living in a "Vinny Chase" fantasy land.
And just to get real for a moment.. There's no race war involved. People are upset because they believed in hm. Be it right or wrong, they wanted to believe he wasn't the typical "out only for me" douche bag athlete, that 99.5% of these players are. People from NE Ohio wanted a reason to believe that he wouldn't bolt the first opportunity he had, like most every other athlete who had come before him. People in NE Ohio needed to believe in themselves, and as bad as it sounds, for the time he was here, he provided that.
However, the burden falls strictly on anyone who every felt that way. Athletes are over-privileged and lack any sense of reality. They'd rather spit on you than shake your hand. They only do community work because it's another form of marketing.
I would personally like to see attendance drop for all sports, and have these 'public figures' get a heavy dose of reality. The money should go to people who are actually making a difference in the world. Winning a basketball title means squat. Especially when compared to those who save lives, teach our children, keep the streets safe, and research for a better tomorrow.
So no LeBron, it wasn't race, it was faith. You destroyed it for everyone in and from NE Ohio who ever believed you were different.
