Learn from LeBron's latest slip-up

For those who don't understand the sensitivity to the word "retarded," this is a very insightful interview with Timothy Shriver, Special Olympics Chairman.

Since watching this last month, I have been extremely careful not to use that word. Not to preach, but people need to be aware of this, especially people in LeBron James' position.

For those who want to cut through it, forward to about the 4:20 mark and go from there. But it's honestly worth watching the entire thing.

 (Sorry, I assumed readers would've already known the news side of this. LeBron was overheard saying "that's retarded," during his and Dwyane Wade's postgame interview as a question was being asked about Dwyane being a dirty player. He has been taken to task by some for using the word, especially in that setting.)
