NBA: LeBron James not affected by racially charged tweets
MIAMI â Heat forward LeBron James says he isnât affected by people sending him negative and often racially charged messages on Twitter. James posted a message on Tuesday on the social networking site inviting âhaters" to get their â2 mins of fame and light!" by posting something negative about him. About three hours later, James forwarded a negative message from someone who used a racial slur so it could be viewed by all 900,000 of his followers. James said Wednesday that he retweeted the one message in particular so people could see how athletes can be magnets for remarks like those, adding that âeverybody thinks it is a bed of roses and itâs really not." Hundreds of other negative messages were addressed to James as well, although itâs unclear how many of those he actually viewed. â AP
