    Gatorade apologizes for the LeBron-related twitter posts

    Gatorade apologized Friday with regard to remarks submitted towards the corporation's Tweets regarding LeBron James having to leave the game cramped up.

    The actual twitter posts weren't erased.

    Wayne required intravenous liquids following the online game, where temps within San Antonio's AT&T Middle Center had been calculated at around 90 degrees during game 1 of the NBA finals. The arena's air conditioning system went out, thus the temperatures reaching around 90 degrees inside the AT&T Middle Center. The San Antonio Spurs Won the 1st game match-up 110-95.

    "Gatorade released an apology for their tweet responses back to fans during the game". Gatorade claimed to have got caught up in the game so much thus, leading to the tweets that they made. Gatorade is a partner with the Miami Heat and of course wanted to see the team come off with a victory.

    Gatorade includes a lengthy business model with the NBA. LeBron James is definitely an endorser associated with Powerade, the Gatorade competitor.

    LeBron is being paid to endorse Powerade which is a Gatorade Rival, however it appeared that Lebron was drinking Gatorade with the label torn off the bottle. This would not be the first time LeBron has been seen what appears to be Gatorade in the same fashion with the label tore off.

    One would wonder why LeBron is endorsing Powerade, but using Gatorade. This is definitely a conflict of interest especially when it comes down to his endorsement deal with Powerade. LeBron is being paid $2 million per year to sponsor Coca Cola's brands Sprite and Powerade. LeBron even stated upon signing the deal with Coca Cola "That he has always admired how Sprite and Powerade spoke to young kids and athletes."

    There is even a Video on YouTube with LeBron speaking in regards to Powerade vs. Gatorade feud.

    Could LeBron be next seen eating a Big Whopper from Burger King vs. his endorsement deal with McDonald's?

    The initial twitter submitted through Gatorade stated "That with the game being so hot that they were right at home."

    The Spurs stated that the power failure was, because of the AC failing. The Spurs announced on Friday that everything had been fixed and is working fine.
