This is the kind of story that the media does not talk about because it is positive. But we here at “Sports Inner City Online” try to bring to the table more positive stories on minority sports stars.

All sports radio want to do is blast African Americans at will. Sports radio KJR and 710 ESPN here in Seattle have ZERO African Americans in ANY position. So they can care less about positive stories about black sports stars.

Did they discuss this story on LeBron James? No. James opened a clubhouse for children in his hometown of Akron, Ohio recently. He donated almost a quarter of a million dollars to the Akron Boys And Girls Club to have the clubhouse for the kids.

James also has a Bike-A-Thon every year and money made at the event is donated to a charity. Yes James was at fault for all the stuff that happened when he moved his talents to South Beach, but James has not forgot his roots. And he is giving back to the community. I think that is great on his part.   Gordon Curvey
