Lebron James says the NFL is run by "a bunch of old white men" with "slave mentality"

[Dorich]

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."

Stupid fuk is worth a billion dollars. Just pisses me off he thinks the black man is oppressed and whites are overwhelmingly racist.

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.

Is he wrong? 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.

Yea, like he doesn't know that all black people are worth a billion dollars and are NBA superstars. Stupid black guy don't know nuffin.

Could it be that he is using his position of power to speak for players that can’t speak up? Who here is the stupid one?

[Dorich]

Is he wrong?

Yes, as it has nothing to do with the white race / "old white men".

Is this an r/p thread?

Yes.

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.

What does that have to do with him referring to white men in a condescending way? Imagine if it were the other way around.

[Trapstar4.4]

There are some pretty rough audio clips of owners speaking about players out there. He's prob not wrong. There is no need to be upset

[Dorich]

Who here is the stupid one?

You are. (srs)

[SWDeath]

Yea, like he doesn't know that all black people are worth a billion dollars and are NBA superstars. Stupid black guy don't know nuffin.

You claim to do well financially and you claim to live in a mostly non white neighborhood. So are they being oppressed too?

You're right, the billionaires should give more money to the millionaires. SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE CONSERVATIVE

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 wanted

[WestAfrica]

Inb4shutup and dribble

Oh look, a black community that isn't oppressed? That means ALL black communities aren't oppressed!

[Ephedra]

Fckin ridiculous we live in a world where multi-millionaires, who have the option to quit their job at any given moment, feel like victims and slaves.

Libs gone lib.

Did LJ claim all blacks were oppressed?

You haven't been listening? they're slaves.. they don't have the option to quit. They don't have a choice but to earn 5 million a year, sad times.

[bobbydigitaloa]

I guess he should be mad at all the white people that buy his shoes and jerseys and come to his games...huh?

[Thankless]

Did LJ claim all blacks were oppressed?

Wait, so all blacks aren't oppressed? Sillie is that true? am I hearing this right? does this mean that all whites aren't oppressors?

[N0rds]

If he doesn't like it, why doesn't HE start his own sportsball league..

[Dorich]

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?

Does the american govt force people to play football?

Just wondering

He can make any statement he wants, doesn't mean people are going to agree with it.

Ok and they can also use the n-word 91 times in a song, collect all of the white peoples money when selling those songs, shoes, whatever but don’t you dare sing that song you paid for and we might call it cultural appropriation if you wear my shoes...but I’m not giving the money back...k? Lol

But lebron is uneducated....

Dont you have to be educated for your opinion to matter in america?

[RisenV]

Not sure why people expect anything less than anti white animus from certain athletes and I'm not sure why they get outraged when they say things like this.

This is just the fruits of left wing ideology fully coming to life.

They hate white men and they will do everything they can to express that.

[Xinroth]

Fckin ridiculous we live in a world where multi-millionaires, who have the option to quit their job after their contract expires but they are probably too dumb and are at the mercy of agents, feel like victims and slaves.

Libs gone lib.

Fixed.

Morons selling their lives away, but at least they get millions of it.
