“LeBron James” gifts the entire OSU Football Team Beats Headphones
Curious, what is the rule for individuals to give players gifts? Is this the equivalent of Bobby Kotick paying a few million to send the team on their annual trip?

You put quotes in the wrong damn spot

Improper benefits!!!

Seems like a booster giving gifts to athletes beyond the scholarship that non-athletes do not have access to. Isn't that sorta what extra benefits is all about?

Beats are for closers only.

Nope, bachelor and doctorate from Michigan. I was thinking the sarcasm would be obvious, but I guess I should have just put the /s below.

I hope LeBron kept a pair so he can shove them up his ass

That would be a weird spot for headphones.

FFS we are biggest whiniest group of fans ever. Lebron has an agreement with the University like we do with the Jordan brand, they get special shoes (cleats) that will never see the public, jackets, shirts, you name it with Lebrons logo on it, because he is an official sponsor of the team or something along those lines. If the beats headphones have his logo on it then it falls under this agreement. This is not a violation. why are we so fucking jealous all the time. We send kids on trips all over the world, staying in 5* hotels, get access to areas normal folks can't and we label it "educational" to circumvent the guidelines. ALL WE DO IS WHINE ABOUT ohio.

Apparently he's been giving these out since t[tm]OSU since 2015.
They work wonders for online learning.

Who gives a shit!? Seriously?!? I don't care that players take online classes. My wife got her degree online (masters) and it isn't a cake walk, at all. they have so many guidelines in place to keep people from cheating that it would be EASIER to cheat in an ACTUAL class. Everyone acts like they do it so they can practice more but the NCAA has strict guidelines to how much teams and individuals can practice and its the same for everyone. It's not like they are holding an extra practice that we aren't. We find the LITTLEST thing and try to turn it into something that points to why we can't beat them and none of this is why. The fact of the matter is we aren't getting as many studs and the ones we get we aren't developing to the level we need them to be. And save the "they are obviously paying recruits"...sorry, i don't buy it. Are there $100 handshakes/ absolutely but this idea that they have kids pulling in 10's of thousands of dollars is just not happening. Sorry, we just need to get better.

They get to look cool to people who don’t know that the headphones actually suck & are for people who don’t care about sound quality.

lol...people in glass houses throwing stones
Clearly this is absolutely legal under NCAA rules, so why the do people care?
Nothing is preventing Tom Brady, or any other celebrity fan it seems, from gifting the team with gifts...

This thread is zzzzzzzzzz.

Look, I get that he is one of the best all time, adored since childhood. I'm not naive but I just don't see how someone can sign their name "King." What a douche.
December 27th, 2019 at 11:37 AM ^
What if I just wanted a tattoo?

Stephen Ross should gift our team some prepaid visa cards. And promise to do it again next year if they win 10 games.
December 27th, 2019 at 1:39 PM ^
Actually, he should "gift" each of them a new car. There's nothing wrong with that, right?
December 27th, 2019 at 1:04 PM ^
Who gives a shit. Tell us more about the teddy that Tom Brady got Jisele for Xmas.
December 27th, 2019 at 1:52 PM ^
Lakers suck.
December 28th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
I thought LeBron was a moral man. Not one who supports covering up sexual assault and other scandals. Guess I was wrong.
