Albom’s main point is that race had nothing to do with the LeBron's decision to leave Cleveland, or in the publics response. White and African American’s reacted in there own way to LeBron's ego, mainly negative. I agree with Albom. Race should not be used as an excuse. We live in a country founded on nondiscrimination, therefore we should not support the use of race as an excuse. Albom’s most important point was “Because sadly, when a high-profile African-American athlete hits an oil skid of controversy, it is all too easy to make race the culprit. Especially if someone asks.” He’s right. The media literally handed LeBron the opporutunity to use race as an out.
