Has James Turned His Back on Akron/Cleveland?

Rev. Jackson - "[Gilbert] sees Lebron as a runaway slave"

His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract.

You have GOT to be kidding me...

As for comments about snipers.... wow, way over the top.

Not really meant to be taken as a literal comment bud, I'm just giving an idea on the mentality of some of Ohio's very passionate (crazed) fans.

I'm no longer a LeBron James fan, being that he's now a Miami Heater. Regardless, the idea that the hourlong special in which he announced his departure was evidence of a James personality problem seems to me to have been proven false by the recipients of the profits - the young men and women who benefit from the programs of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

Not that I disagree with the Boys and Girls Clubs receiving the money, but it struck me more as a failed PR stunt than a heartfelt donation. It wasn't even his money, it was corporate sponsors looking to get some good PR. If he had, say, offered his own first year's salary with the Heat to Ohio charities, I'd probably feel differently.

Not sure I have the correct facts... revenue for the special was $5-6M .. Boys & Girls Club got $2.5M... where did the rest go? expenses? like to pay for Gray to lob softballs to King Vag?
