A fan went viral Sunday afternoon for stringing along a creepy LeBron James puppet to the Lakers-Mavericks matchup at American Airlines Center.
And yes, it won’t take long for ESPN to find ‘racial undertones’ with this seemingly innocuous doll.

The XFL’s travel logistics make things awkward for the losing team. That notion was on display after Saturday’s game between the Defenders and Vipers on a field that cannot be taken seriously.
First and foremost, the XFL was unable to land Allegiant Stadium as the home of its Las Vegas team. So while other organizations play at Camping World Stadium, the Alamodome, or The Dome at America’s Center, the Vipers play at Cashman Field.
Cashman Field was originally built as a Triple-A baseball stadium in 1983. It was renovated and converted to a minor league soccer field in 2019.
Lance Berkman did not get to finish Saturday’s game after being ejected. While that sentence being written in the year 2023 may come as a surprise to many, the six-time MLB All-Star is not still playing professionally.
Berkman is in his second year as the head baseball coach at Houston Christian University, formerly known as Houston Baptist. He was tossed from a game against Seton Hall, which also marked his team’s sixth-straight loss to begin the season.

OutKick reached out to Alabama, asking if Miller was instructed to remove the previous image. No response was provided.
