"There's a great scene in The Simpsons where Principal Skinner is trying to track down Bart who is skipping class. And Skinner is going around town trying to find him and he says if I were a truant boy I'd be right here in to the Springfield natural history museum. And Bart's not there. Then he goes to a couple other places he thinks a kid would be hanging out at and can't find Bart and he says Am I so out of touch? No no it's the children who are wrong. It's now become a meme all over the internet.

LeBron James is Seymour Skinner. LeBron recently said why would he want to be the face of a league that the NBA media is always ripping on? In the NBA, the coaches can't be mean to the players or the players get the coaches fired. If the fans yell something mean during a game the player grabs a security guard and gets the fan thrown out. And now apparently the media is being too mean. Charles Barkley is being rude. The problem isn't the precious NBA which is losing 50% of its TV viewers, they shoot 90 threes a game, and the stars take off a couple games a week no that's not...is LeBron so out of touch, no no, it's the media who is wrong!"
