BJ, PD refuse anti-LeBron ads

Both the Beacon Journal and the Plain Dealer refused to run lucrative, full-page ads taking a shot at LeBron James for returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Miami talk-show radio host Dan Batard (maybe he left the “s” out between “a” and “t”?) attempted to place the ads. And he admits he got the shameful publicity ploy he wanted free through widespread news of the BJ and PD refusals.

A Second Coming for LeBron will take place Aug. 8 at the University of Akron’s football stadium. At least it won’t be one-third capacity as it is for Zips games.
