[Bronx2245]

people hated on lebron because of the way he left. you dont hold a friggin 1 hour tv special to tell cleveland you're screwing them over. if you want to leave then leave dont be a diva about it. it's professional sports, fans generally understand why players leave. you dont see yankees fans hating on cano on the same level that people hate on lebron.

kobe didnt get accused, he was proven to have been with that woman.

Why is he "screwing them over?" Didn't much of the proceeds from the interview go to The Boys & Girls Club? The way you framed this makes LeBron a villain for becoming a free agent. I guess he was supposed to stay loyal to the Cavs because they drafted him. When the owners cut or trade people, no one villanizes the owners. I've read many posts here that hate on boxers who want to leave promoters for shady contracts, and they're usaually against the boxers. Athletes generate millions and billions of dollars. They (LeBron, Floyd, Cotto, etc.) shouldn't be the villain for wanting their fair share.

Lebron was a free agent, he didn't force a trade so he was free to leave. For all I care, he could have had a damn musical announcing his departure. He made some money for charity in the process. Pretty ****ing cool if you ask me.
