Is it Lebron's " Championship of Me" or is it the media crawling all over the story? I will admit announcing his decision live on tv is a bit over the top.
All of these stories are manufactured beyond normal by so many competing sports media circles. ESPN amped up exposure beyond the original media (tv, newspapers). Then came FoxSports and regional cable sports. Now there's internet media (ie Yahoo Sports). This phenomenem isn't just about sports. It's also about politics and any other news story.
Another issue is being the one who breaks the story. I don't care who breaks the story. I don't care about all the speculation. I want the news when it happens reported accurately.
There's no escape for the target personality or the sports fan who wants to scream "Enough!" Then again there is the option to not read or watch the stories.
I think I hit my end of speculative curiosity when I went the entire two weeks preceeding the Super Bowl without reading one article.
