Livy, you are seriously reaching in calling out LeBron for his "baby-dunking" joke on the ESPYs this weekend. We think we are very safe in saying that you are THE ONLY person on the planet who is pissed enough about it to devote an entire "column" (we use the word loosely) to the issue. We guess it's been slow on the sports news front these past few weeks.
Perhaps you are trying to show that you're not a "homer", and that LeBron, when deserving of criticism, isn't immune to it from the hometown press. But let us be the first to tell you that the reason there was no outrage on a national level isn't b/c of an ESPN conspiracy, but b/c nobody actually gives a shit. It was a small joke guilty only of being not very funny--it wasn't a public service announcement pimping the value of child abuse and taking down humanitarianism, as you suggest. Plus, we know you're not into the interweb other than for porn, there are more sports websites and blogs out there than just ESPN that could have given voice to your indignation. Turns out, you're the only one.
1958 called, they'd like you to come back, with your turkey gizzard, for some social commentary.
