Today's Rabbit Ears alert

 Look, I get it. You get old, you get cranky.

And so here the other night was the aging LeBron James, leader of the rest-home Lakers, going into full Get Off  My Lawn mode. In the middle of a Lakers win in Indianapolis, he called over the game officials to have a couple of fans in the courtside seats ejected because they were being big ol' pottymouths, which hurt LeBron's feelings.

Now, the Blob is generally a LeBron-friendly precinct. But ... for God's sake, LeBron.

One wonders how the man managed to find time to strap 39 on the Pacers that night, given his decorum-monitoring duties. It's not the first he's assigned such duties to himself, either; he also got some fans kicked out in Atlanta on another occasion.

Here's what the Blob thinks about that: Lebron, you need to put away the rabbit ears. It's not a good look.

And listen: This is not the Blob holding a brief for the fans here. Fans are frequently douchenozzles, particularly the entitled asshats who sit in the courtside seats. The more money you make, the more you think the sun hunkers down for the night on your hindparts, in a lot of cases. The bigger the bank account, the less some folks think the rules, or even behavioral norms, apply to them.

However.

However, someone with the appreciation for the game's history LeBron has should do some digging. 

If he does, he'll come across Reggie Miller, whose by play with celebrity Knicks taunter Spike Lee became legendary. Spike would say something; Reggie would bury another three and then make the choke sign at him. At no time did he ever consider having Spike ejected for saying hurtful stuff about him.

And if LeBron wants to go back further, perhaps he should travel to Fort Wayne in the 1950s, where the Pistons used to play in the old North Side gym and old ladies in the courtside seats used to stick opposing players with hatpins. As far as I know, none of the opponents demanded the old ladies be removed. They just considered it part of playing a game in Fort Wayne.

Imagine if someone today jabbed LeBron with a hatpin.

He'd have that someone arrested for assault, probably. Because, well, it ain't just the courtside fans who feel entitled these days.
