Should an athlete have 2 put up with this? Lebron's racially charged tweets... Should an athlete have 2 put up with this?
LeBron James shares hateful tweetsMIAMI -- LeBron James started his own Twitter account in July because he wanted to be more in touch with fans and, as it has turned out, his non-fans. “
To illustrate that sometimes unpleasant interaction, James took the unusual step of retweeting some hateful Twitter messages to his 900,000 followers on Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday, the Miami Heat star said he did it to show people what he deals with on a daily basis. James published three negative tweets on his feed including one that was racially charged. "I just want you guys to see it also," James said after the Heat's practice Wednesday afternoon. "To see what type of words that are said toward me and towards us as professional athletes. Everybody thinks it is a bed of roses and it's not."

Even if it's not racist, I think sports fans are idiots at times. They take it all way too personally.
I mean, throwing your drink on a complete stranger who happens to play for the city you do not live in? My Legacy

Especially when the player is 6'6" pumped up from competition, and only a few feet away
I don't advocate hitting fans, but I do understand it!
