LeBron James: NFL owners are ‘old white men’ with ‘slave mentality’ toward players

[Methodical]

So much respect for Bron.

I wonder will ESPN's First Take cover thie since they always love talk about Bron.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

First and most importantly of all... the NFLPA is weak as fukk and can’t leverage their way into any fair agreements.

But lowkey he’s right. The nba is more liberating, but they also had their fair share of owners wilding (clippers & hawks). shyt even the Cavs owner had a “slave mentality” the first time lebron left for Miami

that has more to do with the strength of the NBA Union that the mindset of NBA owners- NBA owners are slightly younger racist cacs

Lebrun is cool and all that but he ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Ok dude u hoop nice but nikkas is best served listening to entertainers like Denzel spit knowledge rather than this dude if they wanna be informed

repping LWO in the avi....of course

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

I don’t see anyone hating on Bron here.

Just acknowledging that it’s naive thinking NBA owners are different than NFL owners. If NBA owners had the same power they’d act the same way.

Dawg... I hate muthafukaz tryimg to get black kudo points... These muthafukaz own their teams...ur just a player and employee.
They can tell u to do whatever the fukk they want to do, as long as it's within the reguations set forth by ur players Union. And if u don't want to abide by whatever the fukk that owner says... U can stop playing for that organization.
Ur a nikka getting paid millions of dollars to run around for the elite white ppl of the world... Ur not Nat Turner.
Think about it... LeBron has so much fukking money from ballin and endorsements, he doesnt have to pick up a basketball Again. He got rings and all that...
So what the fukk is he still playing ball for..
nikka sit the fukk down

negged..

Also, LeBron really talking bout NFL owners having a slave mentality when that old white man Donald Sterling went off on that recording?

Yea you forgot to mention how fast they got Donald Sterling up out of there after he said that!

 

[David_TheMan]

Yea you forgot to mention how fast they got Donald Sterling up out of there after he said that!

Sterling has numerous reports of his racism before the recording.
He had lost a federal trial for him and his wife's racism, the NBA didn't care and said nothing.
He wasn't forced to sell anything, they didn't get him up out of there either, he was declared mentally incompetant and his equally racist wife sold the team and for some reason was allowed to sit courtside for the rest of her life at Clippers games.

 

[AuntAnniesPretzels]

Most hardcore racists hate the NBA and love football college and pro

 

[Big Boss]

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

His words don’t really carry any weight, cause nikkas is still gonna try to play in the nfl because of the money. Everybody complains so much about the owners but they still own the team and anybody that signs the dotted line does so at their own discretion. If the owners are acting like slave masters then by proxy anyone agreeing to play for them is agreeing to be a slave. They don’t have to play if they don’t want to but unfortunately a lot of players just don’t know what else to do.


Also hold up, don’t this nikka lebron partially own Liverpool? Talking about nfl owners, football owners be tossing kids who don’t make it (basically all the kids except a handful) in their academies out on the street, I bet you Liverpool youth academy churns and burns hundreds upon hundreds of players every year, but hey, that’s just my opinion.

 

[tremonthustler1]

They're contractually obligated. You think Cuban is letting Luka sign a contract in the Euro leagues during a lockout? FOH

I highly doubt that sneaker endorsement shyt and not every player has many ways to make money outside the league that's not a superstar. C'mon bruh, be honest. No one is goi g out their way to have Jose fukkin Calderon endorse their product unless they on some Eastrrn Motors shyt

Actually because there would be a lockout, Cuban wouldn't have a say.

If there was a players strike, that's another story.

All I want to say on this matter is us as black people, some of us have to know how to hone and direct our anger. As we know most white people are racist, whether its overt, hidden, conscious or subconscious. It's almost impossible not to be in a societal climate that has indoctrinated not only white people to hate and oppress anyone besides themselves, but even indoctrinated peoples of the communities that are being oppressed to turn a blind eye or excuse it in one fashion or another.

Arguing by whether supporting a organization or corporation with your labor or money is not "woke" is hustling backward IMO. Because its VERY difficult not to spend your money or your labor in fashion that white people or others that are oppressing you aren't benefiting. The goal should be directing our labor/money in a fashion where the majority is supporting or circulating within or community. Even getting a 50/50 split would do wonders, in relation to the currently levels, were a majority of our money is spent elsewhere.

In conclusion debating and arguing over which person of celebrity is down for the cause or not, really does nothing, because a vast majority of them do nothing at all, or partake in mostly symbolic gestures that don't work towards remedying issues they could help to fix, that don't entail laws or policies that require the work/convincing of the establishment that wishes to oppress you.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

I used to disagree with @NYC Rebel on this but honestly the NBA owners (and the league itself) are only “better” on the surface. Look at alleged progressive owner Mark Cuban.

 

[LezJepzin]

Not unless your Charlotte, And in the future Cleveland.

you forgot the Kings owner is Indian and more woke than the other 29 owners in the league.

How he handled the Stephon Ckark protests alone last season solidified that.

Honestly , I was when I heard this , especially when he kisses Jerry Jones ass being a Cowboys fan. We all know about Dan Gilbert.


The Anthony Davis tampering , to this. He's trying to flex how much power he has . For better or for worse.
