Is anyone else sick and tired of the media profiting from LeBron and all these big name athletes? The latest thing going around is how great a "story" it is that LeBron is going back to Cleveland. Like it is the best sports story of all time and all that nonsense. Well you know what, I DON'T CARE! Stories in sports don't mean a thing to me. They don't do anything for me and the only ones, the absolute ONLY ones that profit from it are the Sports Media. So, naturally, they are trying to push it and milk it for everything it is worth and then some, trying to make it more than it is. LeBron is human, not some demi-god like the goddamn pandering media "experts" try to make him out to be. When I watch sports stations, I want to hear the news, not have unnecessary crap like this forced down my throat. I couldn't even watch Sportscenter today because literally, every single minute and every single segment has been dedicated to LeBron and trying to profit off of whenever he goes to the bathroom (not literally, but you get my meaning). Sports media in general annoys me to no end. They elevate these athletes to pedestals that should only be reserved for one being (if he/it even is a being, but lets not get into that conversation right now please. Seriously, don't). Don't drink the Kool-Aid people.
Sorry, I have had a bad day and I was getting close to knocking my head through a wall so I had to take my anger out on something and this seemed appropriate. Okay, rant over.

There is even an article about LeBron's return to Cleveland on NFL.com. Seriously? SERIOUSLY?!?!?

Im tired.
Lebron has ruined what little legacy he could have had.
Hes chasing rainbows.
I dont put him nowhere near Magic,Michael,Larry or even Kobe.

You do realize the reason they do it is because people watch it right? I think the media is stupid and ridiculous as well however its not their fault because they put the shit out there that the majority wants to see. They wouldn't do it otherwise because if nobody cared, nobody would watch it, and then they would lose money. Instead they find the things people want to see and they milk the crap out of them. Media is a business and you can't blame them for trying to make money.. I tend to ignore the media when stuff like this is happening. I can get the stuff I want to hear from other sources. As far as LeBron stuff being on every sports page in the internet.. "Wade" through it and find the stuff you want, try not to "Bosh" your head in I agree that they could do with less over kill but you really can't expect anything else, when the best basketball player in the world is a free agent. It was the same thing when Manning was a free agent.. Could you imagine what it would be like if Sidney Crosby was a FA?? IT would be all anybody in the hockey world would talk about. It sucks when its somebody you dislike though.

It sucks when its somebody you dislike though. I don't necessarily dislike LeBron, or any other player I show distaste for (i.e. Manziel, Tebow, etc). I hate the hype around them and sometimes undeserved hype. These guys shouldn't be worshiped like they are. It pisses me off from a values standpoint.

The hate for lebron is funny. Just as sad and frivolous as my hate for all that is duck athletics. Lebron is top 3 in history, he's by far the best player of his era. His Legacy is only amplified by his return home.

Well, the people in Cleveland seem to care. It took all of 8 hours for Cavalier season tickets to sell out.

Okay, rant over. If the stories don't matter, then why in the world are you watching sports center? Just get the numbers off a website. ESPN is on 24/7, and it wouldn't be worth jack if they just gave bland facts. And it is a good story. Best player in the NBA going home is kinda a big deal. But hey, least he's not arrogant now like you said in another thread right? Because it only took a day and a half to announce. And I thought it was a classy announcement. Jeff, I'd love to hear how going home to Ohio lessens his legacy over staying in Miami? Unless you think he's no chance at titles in Ohio. But legacy is different things to different people.

I don't really hate LeBron. His bandwagon fans just drive me insane.
