Am I the only one that cringes?

It seems like every time Lavar Ball appears on television, I cringe just a little bit. I sometimes wish the media would just stop covering his stories. He's an embarrassment to the US and he's ruining the lives of his children to make a quick buck from 10 mins of fame. It's disgusting.

One of many parents that push themselves on their children when they do not know what is best for them. Go to Little League games and you will see where this mannerism develops.

^^^^^^this
The more people 'cringe' or react at all when that moron is given exposure the more he will get. If people stop paying him any attention the media will too eventually.

just shows how desperate our media is today to find something to fill all the hours they have available on TV and in the internet. In the past, a clown like this guy wouldn't have ever been mentioned.

I watched something on him where he was doing an interview while making breakfast for the family, and he almost comes across as a fairly normal guy. At this point, I can't really decide if I hate the guy or have to grudgingly respect him for taking advantage of and basically exposing how easy it is to get and maintain fame in today's clickbait headline obsessed society. I mean if I had a kid who garnered at least some national attention for his talent, and I found out that all I had to do to skyrocket my own net worth on the back of that was say a bunch of ridiculous stuff, I might do it too.
