What had a greater impact LATimes or LaBron James?

[RgrF]

The reaction to a LATimes publisher deciding to withhold an endorsement pales by contrast to that of the Washington Post. Although most readers didn't notice that doesn't mean their wasn't one, it was to put it mildly - muted. No one cared.

On the other hand a perpetually non-political basketball player, LaBron James, himself a billionaire entrepreneur and businessman, decided to get himself involved. The day after LeBron James made his endorsement county clerk's offices were inundated with requests to register and vote alas too little too late Mr. James you jerk.

On the other hand it might move a few asses off the couch and to the polls in some other state where it does matter...or not. Probably not but wouldn't be surprised if it moved more votes than the weak-kneed Times publisher suppressed.

Did you seriously just call LeBron James a jerk for endorsing Kamala Harris, just not soon enough for your liking? Were you being serious or are my sarcasm pads just clogged up from all the use?

I try and change them every four hours these days, but it's flying pretty thick out there, so, you know.

Good for James.

LeBron has always been political. He campaigned for HIllary. He could have been utilized at any time, just like Magic. He has other things to do, that's really difficult to do.

Perhaps he should have publicly endorsed her earlier, but I felt like this was a response to all the stories about (can't say they are true) young black men either not wanting to vote for a woman or thinking Trump gave them that stimulus check himself. I imagine it helped with that nonsense.

He or Geirge W or whoever should not have to. If you're not supporting my enemy in any kind of way, then I don't have to fight you like I do my enemy. I appreciate that you're not trying to interfere or get in my way while I'm trying to take him out.

It reminds of how people always trying to tell people how they should spend the money they earned.
