The assumption that "Most of Ohio and good people everywhere were rooting against Miami.", is one of the most erroneous things I've read. LeBron left 3 years ago. Yes, the Cavs4Mavs was enjoyable, but it got ridiculous with the OKCLE.
LeBron had a right to leave, albeit the way he did it was unnecessary. He was young, and has seemingly grown from this... minus the incessant flopping. I don't root against the Heat, but I really don't like D. Wade.
To sit here and tell athletes who they can and can't be fans of is ridiculous. It's like when you break up with someone, and you automatically assume that everyone within your circle hates that person. Don't speak of them, don't even speak to them... Because that's obviously the "mature" way to deal with it. People forget that free will is extended to everyone.
I'm not a LeBron fan, but I hardly hate him.... anymore. I wish that people would stop writing articles, year after "reminding" current athletes on why they should extend the hate for him.
Stay Classy!
