The decisions LeBron James must make in the weeks or months ahead reminds me just how coddled and spoiled so many of today’s athletes are. For a lot of them, everything is handed to them on a silver platter once they begin to exhibit outstanding athletic skills. I know some come from impoverished backgrounds and are brought up in neighborhoods that are crime and drug ridden. But it’s the athletes who are given special treatment early on way beyond those afforded to their peers. And then they become entitled. They lose perspective of their place in life and no longer can relate to the fans who pay their way.

I’ve always wondered why teachers aren’t the ones we should be celebrating. Their contribution to the world is far greater than a few 20 year olds who can dunk a basketball. Just saying.
