]]> Comment on LeBron’s Hated for Our Sins by smithkov http://screwtype.com/2010/07/09/lebrons-free-agency-circus-is-about-our-confusion/#comment-194 Wed, 21 Jul 2010 20:43:48 +0000 http://screwtype.com/?p=401#comment-194 Appreciate the comment. ESPN is in a tough spot with something like “The Decision” because part of them exists to promote the sports they’re in business with, and another part considers itself a news organization. If the news organization part had sway they would have said, “sure, but nothing’s off limits and we control the final product.”

I love it. However, I wouldn’t put too much blame on ESPN for “The Decision”. Lebron’s camp came to them to pitch the idea. What are you going to say if the most highly anticipated decision in the NBA over the past 7 years fell into your lap for a one hour special? I don’t think ESPN made any money off of it (sponsorship money went to the Boys and Girls Club.) Great post Lucas! I love reading your stuff.

And I wonder why the anger that should have been directed at ESPN for selling itself out with the special went instead to LeBron? Now we get mad at professional athletes for being on TV?

I’ve been shocked with how ‘shocked’ everyone was. It was as if we and/or the Sports Media, managed to forget that LeBron can only play for one team and five other teams were going to be disappointed.

Sometime early yesterday, I started to see the LeBron energy shift from excitement to something ugly, and there was no stopping it once it started.

Good post.

Alas, the organic absurdity you’ve nailed down will (more likely and less satisfyingly) manifest in some form conducive to tea-leaf reading micropundits and Rorshach sociologists – those currently not distracted by our nation’s wealth I’d oil-blot portraits.
