"Practical felon" = "I'm innocent" *wink wink nudge nudge* A long and distinguished list that includes Ray Lewis.... If you want to point out sports figures that symbolize the worst that industry has to offer, start with people like this.

I would love to see the Cavs involved with the Buckeye Regional in some way. The Indians are already sponsors of the Buckeye Regional in some capacity. They're in rotating sponsor list shown on the big screen - they even have their mascot Slider attend the event, which is fun.

Do we really have to accuse NBA players of being felons? He wasn't proven guilty and she refused to testify against him, and her testimony was the entire case... Do you want a legal system where you could be convicted based on that?

I agree that many others, like OJ, are definitely not role models who have likely gotten away with committing crimes. LeBron's certainly an exception to this rule, and it's easier to see now that he just kind of screwed up a little on something that's not a matter of national importance. I don't think he somehow earned or deserved the right to storm off, but it's not the end of the world by any means. He didn't allegedly kill anyone ^_^

Disclaimer: I'm a huge Lakers fan, so I'm probably biased about Kobe.
