if american issues were so easy then they wouldnt be issues.

Everyone shyts on Trump. Who cares about that clown.
Not even saying that he should just be an athlete either, don't try and go down that route.
My whole point is that he answers to Nike first. Even Mike did. And this situation, even with an old quote, just reemphasizes this.
well if he cant claim to be more than an athlere that only leaves just an athlete or less than an athlete, which would suit a particular constituency just fine.Everyone shyts on Trump. Who cares about that clown.

so what exactly should have lebron said? people seem to think it's so clear cut but dont actually offer up particulars.
Dude, you go way overboard defending homie all the time. Any criticism of Bron and you come in
Bron legit a good dude, but he does answer to Nike. That's it.
see you arent reading clearly. if you would notice I dont suggest that he shouldnt have commented. I only suggest that why he didnt is understandable AND that many of his critics dont really care about the issue as much as they do about having some angle to go against him in particular and athletes in general.Dude, you go way overboard defending homie all the time.

Providing affordable gear is diluting his brand? Black parents should have to spend a month of groceries on a pair of Lebron’s?
Mark Cuban was a huge fan of the Starbury model and said it was a game changer, so Nike used Lebron to kill a fellow black man’s business.
Lebron doesn’t have his “own” brand at the end of the day; Nike owns it. Stephon owns his name, the distribution and the price point. Lebron couldn’t put out a $50 sneaker let alone a $15 sneaker even if he wanted to.
Lebron has helped 2 of his best friends become millionaires. Let’s stop the act like he’s been making droves of black folks millionaires. Steph got it out the mud and still gives back.

LeBron has given back alot to the black community this ain't it wack ass thread.
The documentary just came out this weekend
Supporting Black business is a hot topic right now. Why shouldn’t we care about what the best player in the world has to say about it?
you right lebron should just shut up and dribble
He also has helped tear down black people in his and Nike’s path, as evidenced by the OP. Both things can be true.
then ask him now...The documentary just came out this weekend

If given the opportunity, I will do just that. I even said in the first post I don’t believe he would’ve handled it the same way today.
then the whole discussion is rather disingenuous.
