Lebron James challenges reporters on racial bias

[Doc Sportello]

11. Boy you missed the point - by a wide margin

You were fanboying him because he said NBA reporters covering his basketball game should be asking him about a picture from the 50s of an NFL owner. Perhaps you don't understand how NBA pressers work, but if James wanted to give an opinion on that subject he could do so at any time and get plenty of coverage, as has happened many other times before when he spoke out.

Blaming NBA beat reporters for not asking him a question that is so far afield shows his ignorance about the process, or more likely that he thinks the reporters are there simply to serve his purposes, like the Lakers orgnization. Perhaps reporters should ask him about the Trail of Tears after a game. Lots of racism and genocide there. Or, as I posted before, ask him about working conditions in Nike factories in China, which to reiterate, is much, mucn more relevant since he gets a big paycheck from Nike. He would probably have the reporter escorted out. Here's a question for you to answer: do his ties to Nike and worker exploitation bother you? Or does that interfere with your hero worship?
