ESPN: LeBron James' political stance is following Muhammad Ali's lead

[CoryMack]

Akron Public Schools are footing 80 percent of the bill for I Promise and Akron University is guaranteeing the scholarships; Lebron isn’t paying for them.

Well then why aren’t more big money athletes trying to get the same kinda arrangement with the school districts and colleges in their hometowns? Especially since they’re not having to foot the whole bill.

Instead of trying to minimize what Lebron is doing you should be looking crazy at all the others who aren’t doing a thing.

If Lebron did this....

Following in Muhammad Ali's footsteps

Slow down with the Ali comparison.

Bron is doing great things, but he's not gonna risk his image by being too real for cacs.

 

[UpAndComing]

Told y'all

 

[UpAndComing]

LeBron will surpass Ali if he already hasn’t

 

[YoungMoneyCashMoneyBoy]

LeBron isn't risking anything. Ali did. LeBron is all about branding, not real change. If the change can promote his brand and help his image, he's all for it. If it can hurt him, he ain't with it. He's a goofy.

What was once in the dark has come to light.

LeBron is not messing up his Chinese money, to talk against Chinese government.

This a clout chasing generation. Lebron is scripted and careful, Ali was organic.

Absolutely.

Why compare the 2?
Different times and circumstances. You will be able to see the impact from what LeBron has done in the years to come. Ali, Bill Russell, etc have obviously influenced those that came after him.
You can't please everyone. For anyone that even criticizes LeBron asked yourself what have you ever done in your life that was even close to what he has been willing to do?
If the answer is nothing then say nothing.
