A previous clip of the episode showed James critiquing the NFL by comparing it to the NBA.
"The difference between the NBA and the NFL -- the NBA is, like, what we believe he can be, what we believe he can be, the potential," LeBron said. "And the NFL, it's like, what can you do for me this Sunday, or this Monday, or this Thursday? And if you ain't it, we movin' on."
As the Washington Post reported Saturday, however, James actually went much further than that.
"In the NFL, they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality," the three-time NBA champion said, per The Post. "And it's like, 'This is my team. You do what the [explicit] I tell y'all to do. Or we get rid of y'all.' I'm so appreciative in our league of our commissioner [Adam Silver]. He doesn't mind us having … a real feeling and to be able to express that. It doesn't even matter if Adam agrees with what we are saying, he at least wants to hear us out. As long as we are doing it in a very educational, non-violent way, then he's absolutely OK with it."

Yeah, lol. He's a "victim" of the "white oppressor".
Just like those mass gang killings of African Americans by........ other African Americans.
You know... those killings "Black Lives Matter" regularly talks about.
In the USA, such a racist country in which an African American president finished two terms.
Evil, racist America.

Yes, as it has nothing to do with the white race / "old white men".
Is this an r/p thread?
It’s incredible how billionaire owners have convinced fans to side with them and believe the players are the greedy ones. R/p will whine all day about welfare but apparently billions in handouts to billionaire owners holding cities hostage is okay.

Maybe we could dig up some audio clips of players speaking about some of the owners.
Oh wait, Lebron just compared NFL team owners to slave owners. Sounds a little...racist don't you think?
Also, anybody know when the next "slave" tryouts take place? being a slave sounds like fun! Money, fame, baby mamas, traveling 24/7. The slave life is all I've ever wantedLast edited by Thankless; 12-22-2018 at 11:54 AM.

The irony that is lost on the conservatives in this thread and around the country that are up in arms over his comments are that they are proving the points he makes. Black athletes can’t make a statement or have an opinion without getting torched for it and being told to get back in like or shut up and dribble.

Is anyone preventing a person of color to own a basketball team? Is there a conspiracy against black people to not own or create a basketball team?
What is preventing him from at least investing in ownership?
Please let's create more division.
What does this have to do with a political party?Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.
