Recently free agents Dewayne Wade, Christopher Bosh, and Lebron James made history by signing free agent deals with the MIAMI HEAT setting the NBA on fire. Sports commentary has discussed this up and down and several owners in the league have cried foul. The fans and ownership in Cleveland has gone as far as to call Mr. James of all things……a trader and Benedict Arnold. Since they’ve given their opinion which they have the right to I’m going to give mine. In a league(NBA) where roughly the players are about 75-80% minorities why does this surprise some people. On draft day the nation witnesses a lot of minority players become millionaires and some say they don’t deserve it. The NBA has a history that started out one way and has become dominated by minorities as many other team sports. Yes race is rearing it’s head, shoulders and every other body part but it doesn’t shock me and shouldn’t shock you. This is the same country that has a Black president for the 1st time in 219 some odd years and he has received more death threats than any other president and I wonder why? Back to this free agent signing. What did these guys do wrong? They exercised their right under the free agency policy to try to win a championship and this is a bad thing? A bad thing for who….. the fans, owners, or the media? Let’s take the owners specifically the Cleveland ownership. Your team had the best record in the league the past 2 seasons and was put out both years. The trades you made didn’t work, the players you signed didn’t make a difference and the guy you called names was the NBA’s 2time MVP. He did his part and you came up short. If you didn’t like him why didn’t you trade him? There were free agents that could helped you this year but you did nothing to get them. To the fans……get over it. His loyalty isn’t to you. To cry tears and burn a jersey means your priorities are out of whack. You mean to tell me your happiness comes from an athlete who you don’t even know? Your kids look to him for guidance when you should have them looking at you. Get a life and stop acting like a 3rd grader. Take that passion for “LEBRON” and put it into the schools, shelters, and your fellow man. If you haven’t noticed life is difficult and you can’t worry about what you have ZERO control over. To the sports stations and reporters would say negative things about 3 non-black athletes exercising their right to play wherever they want? If NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhart Jr. or Jimmy Johnson changed teams to be a winner would we have all this backlash? Why worry about someone else just worry about yourself. Let’s look at it like this…..take your job doing whatever you do. Just say a company offers you a better deal for you and your family are you going to stay where you are making whatever you make or consider improving your life? Loyalty is to your family and not in professional sports or a job. You can be replaced at any time and whose the bad guy then? To me it’s about color all over again and it stinks! Don’t let the media influence what you should feel, think and say. Their job is to sell news and get you to buy it. Control your emotions and call them out. Controversy sells and feel good stories are just that. Wake up people and focus on yours and not everyone else. Just my opinion but what do I know. Your thoughts please.

Taking a stand or just a hypocrite?

Recently I was in Los Angeles,Ca for the 2010 BET Awards. Can you say unbelievable because it was just that. Stars from film, TV ad of course the music industry were there in full force but there were 3 noticeable ones missing. I’m talking Grammy Award winners, chart toppers and idols for men, women and children. I’m speaking of Jay Z(Sean Carter) his wife Beyonce Knowles and Rihanna. The rumor last year was that if Chris Brown was to perform, all 3 would not attend. Needless to say Chris Brown didn’t perform and all 3 were in attendence. This of course stems from the domestic violence case Brown caught against his girlfriend at the time Rihanna. Sounds like a honest stand against violence right? Well this year Chris Brown did perform and those same 3 were no-shows. Last year Brown wanted to perform as a tribute to Michael Jackson but didn’t due to the obvious. That wasn’t the case this year when he gave a heart felt performance and hadgrown men like me in tears with his tribute to his idol. This is were I’m confused. Jay Z is known for rapping about his past life as a hustla(drug dealer) and a lot of other entertainers brag on their past transgressions but this 19-20 year old young man makes one mistake and you want to black ball him for life? How many families have crumbled due to there love ones becoming addicted to drugs, becoming prostitutes to feed there habit or in jail for robbing, killin and anything else to reach that high. I’m at no point saying what Chris Brown did is ok but just don’t act like your holier then thou. T.I. went to jail on gun and drug charges, Lil Wayne is serving time now, Gucci Mane gets out and we celebrate that with a big party and video. Now here’s where it gets really funny……the 1st thing some of them say when they get there award is…..I’d like to thank God!!!! Are you serious? Forgive and forget….heard of that? He who is without sin may he/she cast the 1st stone? If your preacher was to confess that he’s been unfaithful some of yall would forgive him/her without blinking an eye. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s not a chix….. I’m just saying….Is it really a stand you’re taking or are you just a hypocrite? What are your thoughts?
