Republicans must not be buying sneakers anymore

Lebron James has donated $20,000 to a committee to elect Barack Obama according to the LA Times. This marks a huge small barely noticeable step in the political awakening of one of the world’s biggest athletes.  Whereas in the past, superstar athletes like Michael jordan and more recently Tiger Woods have been mum on anything resembling politics or social isssues, Bron has stepped up and . . . donated an ultimately small amount to a committee that endorses one particular presidential candidate over another.

Ultimately, it just represents one man doing with his money what a lot of wealthy men do.  Nothing deeper than that, and that’s okay.

In related news, Kurt Rambis donated $20 to a local Kiwanis Club.
