Adrian Wojnarowski Lebron James

Wojnarowski has been criticized by media critics for his reporting on NBA player LeBron James, being accused of having an apparent bias and relying on anonymous sources. Due to this criticism, he was listed #1 in Sports Media Watch’s Worst of Sports Media 2010.

Lebron James however doesn’t seem to have any bad blood towards him as he showed him support by tweeting #FreeWOJ after he was suspended without pay by ESPN for a profane two-word email he sent to the office of Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Missouri that the lawmaker later made public.

Hawley had written an open letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, calling for the league to allow messages in support of police, the military and Hong Kong protesters on player jerseys – in addition to the pre-approved messages in support of social justice issues.

Wojnarowski replied, “F*ck you.” He later issued an apology saying he was “disrespectful” and had “made a regrettable mistake.”
