Nike guy Lynn Merritt goes off on cameraman for injuring LeBron James (Video)

Nike Lynn Merritt

When LeBron James cut his head after being pushed into a cameraman by Andrew Bogut, nobody was more upset than Lynn Merritt.

Merritt is LeBron’s brand manager at Nike (best known as the guy who committed the dumbest branding move of all time), so it’s understandable why he would be protective of his prized client.

Still, the man went completely overboard in cussing out the cameraman:

“It is your fault!” Merritt could be heard barking at the cameraman.

Merritt isn’t alone in being unhappy over the situation, but he expressed his displeasure in an unnecessary way.

Plenty of athletes tweeted about how they can’t stand cameramen being so close to the action. Head over to Page 2 to see all the athletes tweeting about it.
