Why Does LeBron Curse So Much in Tweets?

[ShotgunDawg]

I touched on this last week in my quick thoughts, but this guy is repulsive. Most fraudulent super star in history.

I don?t get what he hopes to achieve by promoting this culture

I find him to be incredibly insecure to be the superstar that he is.

[Commercecomet24]

Lebron appears to have a lot of hate and anger inside. Those things will destroy you from the inside out and make for a not so happy life. I've seen it happen to many times.

[msstate7]

Jordan doesn't cuss in tweets**

[R2Dawg]

Jordan doesn't cuss in tweets**

I don't follow any tweets but Jordan is a class act unlike James. Jordan came from a strong family and raising. Idk about James. Jordan had a father who molded his son, James I'd guess not and falls in line with BLM beliefs. Irony is, the very thing BLM stands for is what has created the bad situation to start with but they want more of the same. Starts with the family - yeah the nuclear one.

Agree others, he is full of hate and much of it is unjustified. If he wasn't in NBA, I can guess where he would be right now.

[Johnson85]

It remarkable how amazingly Lebron has handled his early stardom and all the pitfalls that would catch probably half the population if put into his situation at a young age, and yet him just be such a miserable dick of a human being. Makes me wonder how much Nike managed him starting in high school.

If I had been him, I probably would have handled the fame and attention much worse, but I'd like to think I'd be a much nicer human being as a 35 year old, broke, recovering drug and sex addict with two dozen illegitimate kids.

......and this is example #1,245,679 of why I could not care less about the NBA anymore.....or ESPN in general. MLB Network is all I need. And yes, in advance, I realize who owns MLB Network.

You may wanna watch the last dance.....

Jordan WAS NOT a “class act” outside the court. Matter of fact, he was an asshole.

I have a friend that was a valet at one of the casinos in Tunica 12 years ago. Jordan was staying there while participating in a pro am for Fed Ex. My friend carried all of his bags up to his room and was super excited about being so close to Jordan. When he got all of his bags in the room, Jordan goes “Get the **** outta my room” and slammed the door in his face.

Yea, class act

[bulldawg28]

Some fragile folks up in this thread.

Yep. Who cares? We have coaches that curse more during interviews than LeBron does in tweets.

[ZedFedder]

Yeah, most of the stars are not nice people, which is probably why they are successful to a degree. Still, I agree Lebron seems insecure. Jordan was a punk and didn't care what you thought about it. Lebron seems like a punk because he cares what you think.

[shoeless joe]

Lebron hit the genetic lottery and has had folks telling him special and great he was for as long as he can probably remember. His actions and thought process remind me so much of the 14-18 yr old athletes I see every day. He?s just an athletic specimen with an immature personality. He?s got folks all around him that prevent him from seeing it and making adjustments. And then he wants no accountability when he does screw up...everybody screws up.

Haters gonna hate

I watched the last dance and watched his career live.

He carried himself in the public pretty well. Never said he was perfect. Those perfect people can cast the first stone. Jordan was the most competitive player to ever play any sport. That came across mean sometimes - last dance players said that.

Jordan has his faults but he handled public appearances pretty well. When you post stuff on social media, you have time to think about what you type. Everyone can react in an emotional moment.

1. Most major stars are insecure people. They have a huge ego and want attention.
2. Who gives a crap if he cusses.
3. Sounds like you just don?t like him, which is fine, I don?t particularly care for him myself (I?m a Celtics fan) but not because he cusses or his views. The thoughts of celebrities (right wing or left) mean nothing to me. All of them are coddled and are disconnected from reality.

It's athletic privilege. How many of these dudes have been given a free pass their whole lives because they could run fast or jump high? Most SEC athletes have been catered to since high school, whether it's a coach calling to make sure they're up in the mornings, tutors doing extra tutoring, or deals on a new car.

[dawgoneyall]

He is simply using that PhD in biochemistry......

[bluelightstar]

This is a really stupid thread. Say you don’t like Lebron and move on. It’s not because he “cusses in his tweets.” After all, there’s another high-profile (and high volume) tweeter who puts out some pretty profane stuff — must’ve missed the thread on him.

True statement. Athletic privilege is a massive problem in our culture. High schools now are out of control and it starts there. Tired about hearing about this made up platform they think they have too.

I was told at a young age by a wise person that cussing was how people with small vocabularies gave emphasis to what they were saying. If you don't have many tools, you use the same tools more often.

And yes I do cuss occasionally because it just comes out but every time I hear myself do it, I think "you sound like an idiot".

[Extendedcab]

If people were taught the bible anymore, they would know why people act the way they do! To sum it up, they are not good people (corrupt heart), they do not have to spirit of God or the love of God in them. Can they be good people? Sure, but they will have to acknowledge God and be born again. As scripture also says, "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." It is not impossible as all things are possible with God, but they sure are at a disadvantage as they tend to trust in their riches and physical talent more than God! They have a hardened heart!

See my previous post on why citizens are not taught the Bible anymore!

Reference Scriptures about speaking evil things (bad words):

Matthew 12:34; How can you speak good things, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Luke 6:45; The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.

Proverbs 4:23; Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.

Proverbs 10:11; The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

[StarkVegasSteve]

The funny thing is, I used to really admire LeBron and how he had handled being given the keys to the kingdom at 18 and living up to all those expectations. He just really seems to have swerved left in the last 5-6 years. I still think he's a good guy, I just think he's being influenced by a lot more people these days. During that first Cleveland run he had that Jordan mentality of just let me play basketball. Miami was where it really started to change and L.A. LeBron is a completely different person. He's worried about anything other than basketball.

This thread is where I lost all respect for you shotgun.

Imagine in 2020 complaining about someone saying the F word. Not discriminatory. It's only vile to the idiotic pearl clutching crowd who can't talk about sex with their children due to religion or really optics within the community. (Which leads to a lack of sex education and a higher teen pregnancy.) How does this rile you up but murder doesn't? I'm trying to fathom how its possible.

Also how does this thread go for 3 pages with no MSU ties and not get locked. But I'm sure now that I call out the stupidity of it and how bad it makes Mississippi / MSU look... it will be my fault.

Yes. Aborting them at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 100 months, 1000 months. All murder.

If you want to discuss something like that further my private messages are open as this is definitely not the place to get into the abortion is murder debate.

I’ve pretty much learned that you’re unable to think for yourself, lack rational thinking ability, and prefer injustices be done if they propel you agenda.

He took the thread from talking Lebron to "lack of sex education and a higher teen pregnancy" and abortion in one single post. That is the common denominator, thread hijacking.

It's fine if he doesn't agree with Shotgun's take on Lebron cursing. Leave it at that.

I took a week ban because I told a literal racist flooding my pm inbox with vile anti black bs to go kill himself. I learned my lesson and ignored him. Scoob put a month ban on multiple people to quell the overt politics. Problem is politics is too intertwined in sports just as politics itself has become a sport. Where that line is drawn keeps getting blurred.

But this isn't politics here. This is a pearl-clutching dog whistle and shotgun can go **** himself for it. Actually anyone mad at Lebron for saying the F-word can go **** themselves and better not dare root for Mike Leach.

It's not progressive thoughts, it's your idiocy. For example, with the Breona Taylor death, there is a real debate to be had about how warrants are served on homes and when it's justified to breach. But the facts as best can be corroborated by disinterested parties are that the police announced themselves (corroborated by a witness) and Taylor's boyfriend fired first (according to Taylor himself). Her apartment was a legitimate target of investigation because of the activities taking place there. They had a valid warrant. When you start with idiocy like she was murdered rather than the truth that while her death was tragic there was no gross negligence or wanton disregard by the officers entering the apartment (as opposed to the officer outside that was indicted), you shut down any reasonable conversation because you can't have reasonable conversations with unhinged people who don't care about the facts.

Why do you not have that same energy for the foul-mouthed coach we have? Is there a difference between the two? I can't qwhite put my finger on it.

I don't judge people by their skin color but rather by the content of their character.

- LeBron lies about reading books he doesn't read
- LeBron attacks police before knowing facts.
- LeBron lies for race baiting purposes
- LeBron drop F bombs consistently on twitter

- You call for vengeance over justice. You would rather charge a man reacting to getting fired upon with murder for vengeance purposes rather than seeing real justice and facts upheld.

I could on and on about causes that you believe in which you are putting your own selfish agenda over that of society's, common sense, and justice.

What type of terrible person wants that in society?

There is no black and white on a message board. We all type in the same color.

Please open your eyes to how your line of thinking destroys black communities and creates a situation where people of color have no chance of thriving. Please see that. Blaming others does no good.

It was not a legitimate target. That part of the story has been proven by the postmaster that there was no cooperation with the police to confirm it. 1 of 12 witnesses said they heard "Police" once, vaguely. And there literally was disregard because one officer fired 10 bullets through the window nondiscriminantly (and was subsequently fired).

It's amazing that the dude fired first one time because the house is being broke into at the middle of the night and he doesn't know who it is. What's the point of the 2nd amendment if I can't defend my ****ing home?

But again that's gonna splinter too deep into OT stuff that will get this thread locked so if you or anyone else wants to discuss those facts further my inbox is open unlike someone in this thread who has reached their quota.

If you wanna talk more about Breonna and the facts of this case my pm box is open. Your beef with Lebron was him cursing. Now you're changing that to some made up narrative. Lebron, like most, simply wants fairness, equality, and the ability to know that when you go to sleep at night, you won't be woken up by murderers using their power to get away with murder if you attempt to defend yourself.

If you want a "fair" criticism then don't like him over China. But keep the same energy for the rest of the country that bends to the almighty dollar.

LeBron doesn’t want fairness, he wants privilege. Fairness is not ignoring facts in order charge a cop with murder.

What is equality? How does one measure that? Seems to me that no matter how fair things are, you could always claim inequality? Hmmm

Black people have nothing to worry about with police so long as they aren’t criminals and don’t resist arrest. I realize that isn’t a perfect situation, but there’s nothing worry about for law abiding citizens

Agree on China.

Tell that second to last paragraph to Philando Castille. Also why is any crime punishable by cop death when half the states don't have the death penalty and the other half take ~20 years to enforce the punishment. Having marijuana is still a crime in some states. How is possessing something like that a justification for police murder / brutality. That line of thinking leads you to think that others are less than.

Privilege is a weird word. Everyone calls it white privilege but that's wrong. That should be the baseline for everyone. It shouldn't have to be called privilege. It should be everyone's default.

Equality is weird because it's a spectrum of equality of opportunity to equality of outcome. (And most people can't rationalize that there's a spectrum there. They see it as two... genders.) Reality is there is a range and we should be aiming for a sweet spot where the outcome has a minimum of getting sick doesn't in-debt your family forever (seriously **** american healthcare for this. my mother is still struggling to climb out of the hole from my father's 40 year illness and how insurance ****ed us over due to PEC). But we don't need to give up the opportunity so that everyone is a machine living the same life. You can delve for days into that debate but before even going there you have to be willing to understand the range of equality that exists. Then you can start to have the conversation of how it's more than just a line as there can be absence of both types of equality.

Incorrect. It is because he is uneducated and ignorant on topics that he chooses to bring up whenever a microphone is in his face. This is then fueled further by media continuing to push him as some sort of authority on leadership.

How can he be ignorant about his own experiences and black representation? Maybe people should listen to understand rather than judge and condemn.

So Breonna Taylor in her own home should fit that narrative of black people having nothing to worry about, right?

Side note that is one of the best comedies of all time. I still crack up when I see the quail conversation in wedding crashers ha.

It was not a legitimate target. That part of the story has been proven by the postmaster that there was no cooperation with the police to confirm it. 1 of 12 witnesses said they heard "Police" once, vaguely. A person not in the apartment they were addressing heard it. Doesn't mean there weren't bad policies leading up to it, but it does mean that the officers didn't murder anybody.



And there literally was disregard because one officer fired 10 bullets through the window nondiscriminantly (and was subsequently fired). He wasn't just fired, he was indicted with a serious charge. Had he killed Taylor, he probably would be looking at manslaughter. Luckily for him (and by that I mean literally blind luck), he didn't kill Taylor.


It's amazing that the dude fired first one time because the house is being broke into at the middle of the night and he doesn't know who it is. What's the point of the 2nd amendment if I can't defend my ****ing home? More ignorance. You can defend your home. That's why Walker isn't going to trial for shooting at a police officer.


But again that's gonna splinter too deep into OT stuff that will get this thread locked so if you or anyone else wants to discuss those facts further my inbox is open unlike someone in this thread who has reached their quota.

I didn't say a word about abortion and shut down that conversation before it started but go off.



Ok.

The rest of the statement stands.


ETA: To sum it all up. You and all your rhetoric are toxic.
