Several players on both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets, including LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Kyrie Irving and Deron Williams, wore black "I Can't Breathe" T-shirts during pregame warm-ups Monday, following in the footsteps of Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose who wore the same shirt in a game Saturday to show support for the family of Eric Garner.

These multimillionaires have to realize that they are entertainers and that no one really cares about their opinion on anything other than the game they play.

Did they at least spell breathe correctly?

It cracks me up to see all those "I can't breath" signs and shirts being sported by the products of our vaunted government run schools.

Thuggery in pro sports isn’t good for business, and the leagues and the owners surely must realize this now or later.

If LeBron can’t breathe, what the heck is he doing playing basketball? He needs to leave his Asthma Awareness Month T-shirt at home.

Their overestimation of their sense of importance in this world is endearing. Humor them as you would your 8-year-old son who sees himself as the center of the universe.

When I was around that age, I wanted to join the Partridge Family so I penned a letter to Reuben Kincaid stating my intention to do so and mentioned that I had some skill with a tambourine and a clarinet. I offered to take Chris' place as he didn't seem to talk much.

I actually looked out the window, expecting the Partridge Family bus to come up my street to whisk me away so that I could hang out with Keith, Laurie and Danny and get on TV.

So humor these naive self-important ballplayers. They may have big bodies and some athletic ability but their maturity level is that of an 8-year-old child.

Nothing says white privilege like black millionaires who play for a living.

No looting, no humility, no truth, no class— ergo, no respect.

That clown should be thankful every day that he lives in the USA instead of some jungle.
