LeBron James speaks on Astros scandal: ‘(Rob Manfred) must fix this for the sake of Sports’

We have to thank the Houston Astros and their cheating scandal, the MLB’s handling of it and the uprising from players in Major League Baseball for inspiring the latest masterpieces in the “LeBron tweets about Sports” genre. While James is quick to comment on his favorite sports and teams via social media, the topic of sports, in general, has always been a passion point.

LeBron expressed his anger by the way that Major League Baseball has dealt with punishing the players on the Astros, who received no punishments at all for their roles in a sophisticated pitch-tipping scheme that allowed Astros players to know which was pitches were coming. If this were to happen to LeBron, he says he would be “irate.”

James then said it’s on MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to clean up the mess he made and deliver a more stern punishment for the Astros.

LeBron’s incredibly long hashtag has also been meme’d by many on twitter. But let this be another lesson to those who besmirch the good name of Sports: LeBron James will find you.
