Joe Posnanski on Rooting Against LeBron

2011-06-15 Off By Colin McGowan

In the spirit of Tom’s post on wanting LeBron to fail, Joe Posnanski has posted his thoughts on why it’s fun to hate LBJ:

I don’t HATE LeBron James, the person, of course not. He has brought me great joy as a sports fan. I wish him all the happiness he can find in life. But I Clemenate LeBron James the player for all the reasons listed above and for various wordless reasons that come from the gut. I root for his team to lose. I root for him to miss the big shot. I root for these things with zest and gusto because it’s fun and sports are supposed to be fun.
