I was just commenting to a buddy on this. If some white person had used thos words, there would be riots in the streets. I'll grant that the comments from the Cavs GM were inappropriate. It was "jilted lover" times a million. The guys on ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption" tonight made a good point - if LeBron truly "quit" on the team during the playoffs, why would you want to offer another long-term deal to him?
I'd say there was bad behavior all around - LeBron really should have told his GM what he intended to do, LeBron shouldn't have held this disgraceful TV show, and the Cavs GM should have calmed down before replying. But comments from Jackson just make matters worse.
Men like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are pure racial ambulence chasers. They have zero credibility to anyone with an IQ higher than a bag of hammers.
