ESPN pulls unflattering Vegas party article about LeBron from website...

[Rowe]

I just saw that story, and LeBron is living like 2Pac.

[Ketchup]

The article was flat out garbage to begin with.

Am I the only one to recognize that?

They should have just said that and crushed that dude.

It has no relevance with absolutely anything sports-wise. The reporter came off as a stalker.

at this hurt Lebron fan hating on an article cause it revealed the truth that Lebron is a 280 pound ghetto ass Peta Pan partying it up with his fairy homies and not working on his post game.

It's called a PROFILE. Something that's done quite often in journalism.

Pretty funny that by pulling the story, it got them A LOTTTT more hype and views than if they would have just kept it up. Twitter and other websites ran crazy with that story..

sure, but why did it get published in the first place. The idea that it was inadvertently published before the editorial process does not fly. Im fine with them not publishing it, particularly since he wasnt upfront in the first place. but they did publish it. until james' team called them and was incensed that they had a reporter who hadnt identified himself as such in the event.

It's relevant merely for the fact that the public has a demand for it. In this day and age, that is sufficient justification to get things printed as "news".

It's ironic, because this story is one in which ESPN would be talking about over and over and over again on their plethora of media outlets.....except.....ESPN IS the story, hence, we won't hear a peep about it. Can you imagine if it was SI or Fox Sports? ESPN would never let it go.

So automatically, I'm a Lebron fan? Orly?

Be intelligent for once. The whole article bashed him for acting childish because of the way he partied. What was wrong with that? The fact that who planned was never confirmed. Lets not forget the fact that wherever he was paid for him to party there.

I think they clearly advertise themselves as such, despite what the E in the espn acronym stands for.

Although, obviously, they are not one.
