Can someone answer a question for me?

Literally millions of people have given their opinion on the Astros situation. Thousands of people on this board have given their opinion on the Astros situation. Until now, I haven't heard a single person criticized for having an opinion.

But the second LeBron has an opinion, all the sudden the pitchforks and nooses come out.


Ya'all want to explain to me what makes LeBron different? Exactly what do you call it when y'all think you deserve to have an opinion on every fukking sports story that comes out, but LeBron doesn't?

Opinion | LeBron James' China comments aren't unique. The criticism he received is.


Ignorant people who probably didn't even hear/read LeBron's statements are the ones talking about something they know nothing about:






Rockets/Astros fans claiming that LeBron is caping for China more than Harden/Westbrook did are full of shyt. LeBron doesn't say hit in favor of China or against Hong Knog here. He's saying Morey wasn't considering the consequences accurately (which is obvious because otherwise Morey wouldn't have had to pull back the tweet a couple days later and apologize).

Now what did Harden say?



That's caping way harder for China than LeBron did. He's directly apologizing to China and showing all sorts of love. LeBron didn't even say shyt about China, he was just mad at Morey for not taking into account the repercussions.

I read the full statement. I saw the live interview of Lebron saying he was also uneducated about the situation. So how can he say moreu was uneducated if he was uneducated?

no one said what money said “ couldn’t have” put folks in a bad situation. Fact: Lebron said he was uneducated about the situation.

Cause Morey took his statement back and apologized. If he had understood the repercussions of his statement than he wouldn't have said it in the first place. That's what LeBron was saying. Morey did what he did without taking into account how it would affect the other teams and players and without realizing he'd have to pull back.

Not sure how Lebrons opinion regarding Honk Kong has anything to do with the Astros outside of Houston people desperately trying to discredit people who call out their cheating team.

it’d be cool if Lebron originally went against his business interests and called out China. That has no bearing on him saying what every other athlete is about the Astros.

What he said was a harmless single sentence tweet. fukk whatever repercussions from a bytchy totalitarian state the has big money interests in the NBA.

I think the better argument is that whatever Lebron said about that issue has nothing to do with this.

Except that he was in fukking China during the tweet and the team felt those repercussions personally. That's exactly what he was saying in his answer to the question.

I mean if you want to take the extreme that they felt threatened then that’s bullshyt.

it was more their carefully controlled media circuit was disrupted.

if whatever Morey said made Lebron nervous while he and other NBA players were in China then that’s terrifying and he should never go there again.

For someone who's not the biggest baseball fan, what happened with the Houston Astros and how did they cheat?
