LeBron "King" James - Looking to Abdicate?

King James

So the Cavs failed to make the playoff, and I'm so entirely sure the northeast Ohio phenon LeBron James is MAD AS FUCKING HELL.

If I'm him, I'm demanding a trade and getting the fuck out of Cleveland. Many of you would be saying, "oh, they'll be better next year."

Uh... no they won't. Cleveland, as a city, disrespects black people like none other. And Cleveland, as a sports franchise, are perennial fuck-ups. They have NO tradition of winning in football, baseball or basketball. Sure, sure they won the World series about 60 years ago, and they won a few AFL football championships -- but that was all before African-American stars were on those teams and could make a difference.

As it currently is, as has always been since I've been around, Cleveland sports team would much rather see their black athletes do bad -- off the field -- than watch the team excel. Check your history, it's all there in the cheap fishwrap called The Cleveland Plain Dealer; over the years Cleveland has failed (either intentionally or accidentally) to celebrate its favorite sons who are African-American. Shit, one of the Levert brothers is about to go to jail for battling a cop (although he's on the hook for that one, 'cause he said to a questioning cop "do you know who I am?" Which opens the floodgates for cops and other low-paid white functionaries to tear down a successful Black man in this country).

Cleveland REFUSES to put up the money to acquire two star players that would lift any of the teams (Browns, Indians, Cavs) to playoff contention.

When the Cavs new owners fired Paul Silas in the middle of the season, they obivously didn't have a plan on how the rest of the season was going to work out, and they sure as shit didn't
