Let's just end this foolish argument right now...

The Yankees haven't won a World Series in 8 years

The Cowboys haven't won a playoff game since 1996

If Lebron was a frontrunner, he'd be wearing a Red Sox hat and hamming it up with Tom Brady. I bet no one on this board would have a problem with that, either.

If you're gonna knock a guy because as a child, he rooted for "America's Team", then you have beef with a lot more people than just Lebron.

Not to mention Yankees fans are EVERYWHERE, and New York is one of the coolest cities in America.

He's stayed loyal to his teams, so I don't see what this is an issue at all. Now that he's a public figure, he's ALL OF A SUDDEN supposed to switch? Please.

So he's not a hometeam guy. Boo hoo.

Who wants to be an Indians fan? Who in their right mind would root for the Browns?

Lebron is not a frontrunner, he is loyal to the teams that he picked in childhood.

I think all Boston professional athletes should be required to speak in Boston accents.
Yup

Ugh. That might be enough to make me give up on the Celtics.

Boston accents are just horrible.

I'd love to see Bird with a Boston accent.  ;D

Boston accents are almost unbearable.

That's coming from a Rhode Islander too. Bill Simmons can kiss my ass, Boston accents are way more annoying.
