I think the objection (if i may put it in my terms) was that "LeBitch" (Who i believe the author is using as an allegory for LeBron James) was putting himself into context in a similar fashion to the majority of millenials (defined loosely as those in born between the mid 1990s and the early 2000s) always trying to put themselves into situations before they have accomplished all of the hard work required to get there.
Perhaps the author has had outside interactions with millenials to help to prove his assertion. Two or three examples would suffice. But we aren't here to grade his exposition. I believe the spirit of his post was simply that .... well... LeBron is a bitch.
I don't particularly care about any of that. I just think that it is ridiculous to see people get so emotional about something that has no real impact on anyone's life. If you object to LeBron's comment, present a counterargument. But to go out of your way to demonize the man and make derogatory comments about someone you don't personally know, seems to be...immature- to put it mildly. Laws and the comfort of sitting behind a computer screen are the only reasons any of you feel bold enough to unjustly call a 6"8' and 250lbs physical specimen out of his name because you disagree with him. Keep that in mind.
You don't have to get emotional if you don't want to. I think it's ridiculous that you felt the need to question me on why I felt strongly. Don't worry about my motives. I did present a counterargument which was evident from the videos and the follow up posts, but if you couldn't fathom the counterargument, then best to stay away lol
Demonize....? Pray tell WHERE I demonized him. Sounds like you are trying to demonize me by using words like demonize. He's a bitch, calling him a bitch doesn't demonize him. Ballers who do lots of good things in life can still be bitches because of their egomaniacal ways.
I honestly don't care if he is 6'8 250, 7'8 350 or 5'8 150...he's still Lebitch "Millenial" James. As far as any of us feeling bold enough to say things about him because we are behind a computer screen or because of laws...the computer screen...dont care...would say it to his face not that he'd care about my opinion. As far as laws...well duh yeah this is America, not 1940s Gestapo Poland. I am sure he expresses his thoughts with the same freedom as opposed to how he would in oppressed Poland. As do you, unless you don't live in this country?
More importantly, why do you care about my feeling strongly or mildly about someone who's not close to you, or is he?
For the record, the following is not intended to be a direct or indirect threat
Men kill each other. Open up any history book or listen to any daily news report and that point becomes obvious. And in my opinion, most of us have the capacity to do so under the right set of circumstances.
As a result, I've found that the average man has an appreciation for the possibilities of "what could happen if...." which moderates our behavior and helps to form a kind of informal code of conduct. When we violate that code, the consequences can be dire. So when I see you have this incessant need to call a man you don't know personally "a bitch", "crybaby", etc. with the intention of trying to demean him, it makes me feel that you are doing so because you feel safe while doing it. If you were face-to-face with him, I'm sure all that tough talk would change.
LeBron is freakishly big, freakishly strong and freakishly coordinated so if you wouldn't have some reservations about addressing him like that face-to-face you'd be a fool. I'm 6"3' and 230lbs, with some technical skills in fighting and even I understand that the right punch from a LeBron could end my life. Again, it's an appreciation for "what could happen if...." and won't risk that type of reaction in my personal life if he (or any man of any size) isn't being disrespectful or threatening to me or mine. But that's me.
Run your life how you see fit but I get the impression you feel entitled to act like that in your personal life as well. Just understand that if that is the case, you've been lucky to not encounter the kind of man that would check you for talking to him like that. That 11-year old girl that got knocked out by a man at the mall was acting the same way, until he- as a much larger being- re-introduced her to physics.
