Also on another note. I know Bron is building his empire and setting up shop in Hollywood and other business ventures. But alot of those gatekeepers in those realms are friends/connected in with NFL and other sports owners.. and they can shut down some shyt behind closed doors. Go ahead and put 'em on blast but he's gotta keep one eye open.

Ya still don't get it, do you?

Lebron was quiet during the Sterling drama(and he was only suspended and forced to sell the team because the NBA was losing sponsors.So it wasn't even genuine)

Ran back to the man who stopped just short of calling him a n1gg3r.

He ain't fooling me with this act that he, and a lot of these 'Obama era Negros' as I call them, started on November 2016.

They were silent for 8 years, now they got a lot to say with Trump in office. Get that "woke" clout SMH
Not sure why the fukk youre penalizing someone for not being woke “first.” People come to their shyt at their own time. Criticizing him for not being as evolved as he is now is pure trash.

“H-h-he shouldve been woke back then!!” :childplease:

Sterling and him going back to Gilbert happened just 4 years ago, 2 months apart, when the nikka was 30.:gucci:

Are you serious?

So a man whose career has been one calculated decision after another, suddenly was naive to the world and had an epiphany? Please. That's Bullshyt

He knew better. He just didn't care.

Lebron only goes after targets that can't really effect his bread. Lebron a fake activist he's just looking out for self.


Im pretty sure the NFL and the Jerry Joneses of the world can hurt Brons brand if they wanted to. Or at least try to

It's a public school opened with public funds. I salute him for adding in his 2 cents but it's like Jay-Z owning the Nets. It's 0.09% share.
That school was not opened with public funds. It is not a charter school either.

You are trying way too hard. Just say you dont like the guy.

I like Bron and he's right but he's also wrong. He also has a different perspective cause he's been who he's been since he was 16 and had the world on his nuts before he had hair on em.
Yes NFL owners do have a slave mentality, yes they are a buncha old white men (minus 1 who's an Indian :mjpls:) but the NBA owners aren't any different than them.
We've seen NBA players be blackballed before, we've seen NBA owners go on racist rants, we've seen NBA fans be racist. They're all the same, if the NBA didn't have guaranteed contracts I'd put money on it that they would be quicker to cut the black bums who are eating up space on their rosters.
NFL owners are the guys wearing MAGA hats and have bumper stickers on their cars, NBA owners are the guys who stay quiet and go in there and vote for him.
It's different but they're the same.

shyt is hilarious.

Big business treats it's employees as replaceable commodity. Pro athletes get treated more fairly than the average worker as far as perks, percentage of money generated, and have better leverage.


People arguing which billionaire owner treats their millionaire players better:dead:

I fw Bron and prefer NBA over Jeezyball but

NBA has blackballed outspoken blac players before

They did it to Craig Hodges and they did it to Mahmoud Abdul Rauf in the 90s.

Cuban stats sayin racist shyt. Stern did that racist ass dress code shyt....Silver has a National Anthem policy

White men are racist PERIOD....all this "my cac is better than yours" is str8 bullshyt

And anyone equating Bron to Ali is on crakk. Ali stood and actually lost something(his titles and millions of dollars in potential earnings)bac in a time where there was still overt racism instead of the shielded diet version we have today.

Its nice that Bron doesnt go the MJ "see no evil, speak no evil" but lets keep sum perspective

No he wasn't.
He was declared mentally incompetant and his wife sold the team but mandated she have lifetime access to the facilities and org in tickets and arena access. Keep in mind she was equal partner with Donald in the federal racist housing shyt that went on.

Mark Cuban has repeatedly told us how he feels about blacks.

Fact of the matter is this is absurd, NFL and NBA owners are the same and its kind of sad to see LeBron taking this tract to advertise a league, because that is all he is doing, selling the NBA over the NFL
That's a loophole exploited to force the sale....still made 2 Billy though ..:francis:

not a loophole, its what happened.
Making 2 billion in the sale is irrelevant as well, because my only point was he wasn't forced to do shyt and the league was scared to take him to court to do so,
