I was at dinner with my 7 year old nephew last night and he was asking me questions about a video game called God of War.   “When did Zeus turn evil?” he wondered.  I tried to explain to him that sometimes good people do bad things and vice versa.  Then I posed, “If a person treats his family well is he a good person? (him nodding) What if that person is mean to everyone else though? (puzzled look)”  I’m not sure if a boy that age could understand the nuances of moral ambiguity.  But then I thought it would have been easier if I just had him watch LeBron’s masturbatory special “The Decision” (btw masquerading it as syngeristic charity for The Boys and Girls Club was putting a dollop of whip cream on on a turd pie).  My first reaction, since I’m so removed from the slow death it is to be a Cleveland sports fan or just living in Cleveland, was that he gave them 7 great years already and he was ready to move on.  But if Hakeem had left Houston with a narcissistic tv special while referring to himself in the 3rd person 5 times before 1994 to join Patrick E-wing and the Knicks then maybe I would’ve staged my own LeBronfires.  Now having a little more perspective I feel ESPN could’ve skipped their 60 minute gang bang of Cleveland and just looped  this video clip.  Here are a few of my favorite fan reactions:

“Closest example to what LeBron did with Cleveland: Instead of proposing to your girlfriend, dumping your wife on the Jumbotron. At the Super Bowl.”

“Imagine you’re an average dude in high school. Somehow, you begin dating the hottest girl in school. It goes good not great, but hey, she’s beautiful and you aren’t really going to complain. Senior year, she breaks up with you and begins dating the new quarterback that just transferred into the school. Except she did this on stage at the homecoming coronation, embarrassing you in front of the whole school. This is what LeBron did to the city of Cleveland.”

“My wife could sleep with my father and I wouldn’t feel this betrayed.”
