Re: What does Lebron have to do for national respect?

At least guys like BW anyway. Yeah maybe they're rare, but for the love of god, it's the newspaper's job to actually find someone who can get the job done competently. I know for a fact that there are a million great writers out there, but most of them won't be able to see the light of day because they don't have the right connections.

ESPN frankly is doing a complete disservice to the sports community with what they do. Essentially they've sold out their convictions to get ratings (read: money), and while everyone says you can't blame them for that, I disagree. I could make more money doing a lot of ****ty things that I'm against on principle, it doesn't mean I'm going to do it. ESPN should be ashamed that they've taken the integrity out of sports journalism (and this is just a general comment, not necessarily having anything to do with Lebron or even basketball in particular).
