Man Pleazzz Article of the Day

In an appearance on Wednesday night's edition of "Primetime" on CNN, LeBron James replied that he thought race was a factor in the backlash to his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency for the Miami Heat.
"I think so, at times," he told CNN correspondent Soledad O'Brien. "It's always, you know, a race factor."
A recent release of Q Scores, a polling system that measures popularity, appeared to support the notion.
Among non-blacks, James' negative Q rating went from 24 percent to 44 after his free-agency announcement. However, among blacks, his negative Q Score slipped just from 14 percent to 15 percent.
Also interviewed was James advisor Maverick Carter, the CEO of James' marketing wing, who agreed about the impact of the race factor.
"It definitely played a role in some of the stuff coming out of the media, things that were written for sure," Carter said.
 Nah you jus played yourself...lol
