1. Alboms point is that the race card is being overused by colored celebrities, specifically Lebron James over the controversy of leaving his home team.
2. I agree with Albom completely. It gets annoying when celebrities or anyone pulls out the race card to shed any wrongdoing. It is an unfair excuse that the media eats up in there attempts to please everyone, especially in there effort to be non-racist.
3. Albom was most effective with his little side story of a person named Leo that was not a minority. He says
"Because ego knows no color. Whether it's Leo or LeBron." He effectively shows here that it was not in fact a race issue, but a problem with Lebron's grossly inflated ego that made him so delusional that he blamed his sudden popularity change to the worse, on racial background. Albom conveys to the reader that Lebron had been brainwashed into thinking he was perfect, and he thought he could not be at fault for anything.
