Bush-hater LeBron James announced yesterday that he would play ball in Miami.
Cleveland Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert gave LeBron this bitter sendoff after the announcement last night on national TV:
Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;
As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.
This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his “decision” unlike anything ever “witnessed” in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.
Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.
The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.
And, good riddance.
What a bummer… Now that the LeBron story is over the state-run media will be forced to cover the skyrocketing unemployment, the failed stimulus, the communists in the Obama Administration and the corrupt Obama Department of Justice.
Oh wait… There’s always Lindsey Lohan’s fingernails.
