Interesting take on King James…

The Friday was making me gag with all the yakkity yak over it and I was soooooo over it. Yet I happen to have seen this post a Facebook friend posted on her page that peeked my interest to check out on Battinto Batts’s commentary on it.
I wonder why there isn’t any media outrage and flack of the unprofessionalism of the Cavs owner and his letter he wrote. He came off like atypical angry white male slavemaster brat who didn’t get his way and . in full bitching mode about it. I am quite sure if Lebron behaved like him the media would have been running non stop about his behavior. But hell Lebron’s behavior with his (in the words of a great Marvin Gaye Song) “Ego Trippin Out” 1 hour special wasn’t really any better if you ask me. If you think about it Lebron’s behavior and manner of ego stroking is atypical of what the media outlets expect of athletes, especially black ones. Perhaps they don’t mind if the white owner acts the way he does either because that would be the norm for him and not as heavily scrutinized!
