If you consider overcoming the odds and quite possibly having streets named after you, statues in your honor and a city that LOVES you for decades to come so much that it goes way beyond the scope and grasp of some old curmudgeonly white team owner, I would call that the irony in your post. I don't see anywhere in what I wrote condoning that man bow down and let someone spitefully own him. That's all in YOUR head. Instead what I suggest is that if he decides to stay...to cast down his buckets where he stand and make something great out of it like our ancestors taught us to do (why else are we still in this country?), then the ENTIRE CITY OF CLEVELAND would be his. As much as it was for Jim Brown for a significant part of his life AFTER football. Where in the blue fuck does that read as being a slave? (It's a rhetorical question, don't bother answering)


btw, RICK BARRY didn't even run to a superior team looking to score an NBA title. He got it the old fashioned way, but dig, he got it.
And there wasn't a franchise as cheap as the San Francisco Warriors....Now his SONS are running around living off their pops legacy....

i live in ohio, trust me owning cleveland aint saying much. his legacy will be ok. everything else you are saying will still be his. last time i checked the city and fans of miami are behind him. oh yeah, do you honestly believe he will not have a life in the nba or media for that matter when he retires if he so wishes? get real. let the man decide his own destiny. its time these owners and gm's loose some of their strangle hold on players.

forcing trades to other teams with stars is faggitry.

sure wouldnt...because they all had teams assembled with hall of fame and 50great talent. I assure you if any of them had boobie gibson and mo williams as options 2 or 3 they would have done everything in their power to improve their situation.

very true
