    Don't Apologize!

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...ory?id=3381471



    CLEVELAND -- Papa John's Pizza issued an apology to Cleveland and the Cavaliers for making T-shirts with LeBron James' number and the word "crybaby" under it.

    To apologize, Papa John's will sell Cleveland residents a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents on Thursday. The 23 is an homage to James' jersey number. The company also will donate $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.

    The pizza chain's T-shirts were featured during the Cavs' games against the Wizards on Friday in Washington. Wizards fans taunted the Cavs, who won the payoff series that night in Game 6.

    The shirts started after James complained about hard fouls, and Wizards center Brendan Haywood called him a crybaby.

    This wasn't even funny. It was stupid. And a classless move by a nation-wide chain. It's not news.

    I think it's funny. I want my 23 cent pizza!
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I don't find that funny at all. If you're going to attack a sports figure, don't attack one of the most well-liked players in sports, that's just bad PR. Now, if it were T.O., that would get more than a few laughs...

    Did your girlfriend show you how to embed youtube files?

    Probably not, since it's done so poorly.

    Lebron is not above being ripped on for being a baby. The man's a billionaire. He can make all the shirts he wants.

    I don't have a problem with the shirts being made. I just think it's stupid and NOT funny. That makes it an annoyance to everyone else. At least in my opinion

    This shouldn't be being broadcasted, written about, or spoken about. It's a stupid publicity stunt that will probably annoy Clevelanders, as well as those who prefer real news.
