What would him sitting out do?

Ask the Mizzou players.. When you are financially impacted, things get done.. LeBron is damn near responsible for 500M for the Cleveland economy every year..

Not saying anything will specifically will get done, but would be a huge gesture at the least

Stop looking towards celebrities to save us

They've proven time and time again they only care about themselves. It's also asinine to ask LeBron to mess his money up. He's trying to build an empire.

Save us? I'm talking specifically about this case...LeBron rocking the "I can't breathe" shirts and posting photos of Mike Brown on his IG, shows he is conscious of what's going on.... Them cac's were furious when he did that..

We don't need them to save us, we do need them to use their platform to help get our message across though.

It would do nothing. It did nothing when he acknowledged the 2 cases you mentioned and it would do nothing here. All it would do is mess his money up

Trust me, the message is more than across. It got across when Bron acknowledged prior incidents. It got across when people rioted and looted on national television in Ferguson and Baltimore. It gets across when BLM scream at people on college campuses, shopping malls and restaurants across the nation.

We need to be proactive on this stuff, not reactive.
