LeBron James Meme Generator

You hand in your notice at a job you outgrew years ago. Within an hour, people who never said a word to you in the kitchen are suddenly sure you were always a bit disloyal. Your leaving do is mostly people being polite through gritted teeth.

You move to a bigger city for better work. Back home, a cousin announces that you've "gone posh" and asks whether you still talk to normal people. You've been gone nine days.

Your old group chat goes quiet the moment you mention your new flat. Two people leave the chat, one posts a single sarcastic clapping gif, and everyone agrees it's nothing personal.

You finally quit the club you played at for years, the one that never once got near a trophy. Ex-teammates call it a betrayal. The same people spent every season saying someone should really leave.

Why it caught on: the picture is a crying face in an NBA headband on a pink sunburst, and it was named after LeBron James, who left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in July 2010 after announcing it on a live TV special, "The Decision". Cleveland fans burned his shirts, and the captions took the leaver's side, joking about a city with no major pro title since the Browns in 1964. It spread because everyone has been the one who left, or the one left behind insisting they didn't care.
