Are you f***ing kidding me?

I'm not going to lie, I dislike Lebron James with a passion. I can forgive a lot of things. I can forgive Kobe Bryant for his lack of judgment. I can forgive Mark Richt (UGA Head football coach) for sucking it up this season, cause I know he's coming back next season with a vengeance. And I can forgive it when my girlfriend drink all of my milk...just barely :). But I cannot forgive a guy, who gets paid $90+ million dollars that entertains us by dribbling a ball and placing it into a cylindrical receptacle and makes my life miserable for months because he can't decide where he wants to go play his game.
But wait there's more...
Time magazine, a most storied of the storied magazines in publication history, has "humbled" Lebron James by nominating him as Time's Person of the Year. There must be a heavy supply of cocaine laced air inside Time's headquarters because they can't be serious.
1930-Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
1940-Winston Churchill
1948-Harry S. Truman
1952- Queen Elizabeth
1959- Dwight D. Eisenhower
1963- Martin Luther King Jr.
1989- Mikhail Gorbachev
2008- Barack Obama
2010- ???Lebron James???
That should speak for itself. This award is supposed to be given to the individual who has made the most influence in the world in the given year, not the person who has acted like a selfish, throw his coach under the bus, leave your hometown in the dust, self proclaimed king. The other nominees include individuals who have made real change and shown real perseverance and attitude on a world that is in desperate need of more.
Lebron James, I don't even know if you donate to charity, unless you count signing with the Miami Heat.
But I can't blame Lebron, because it's the people at Time Magazine that nominated him. That damage has already been done. Lebron's image is certainly on thin, cracking ice. The best thing he can do in this situation is to immediately withdraw his name from contention, because if he doesn't, and actually beats out the other nominees, the hypothesis that America is in a moral downward spiral will finally have its conclusive proof.
And just to pile on more hatorade... Lebron's Wishy-Wash
Adios,
Lord Evan Burwell
