What does this have to do with anything? The issue is should an athlete speak out on social matters or just play. Nobody is saying that the athlete has to speak on EVERY issue. Just that he shouldn't be criticized for speaking on the ones that he does choose to speak on, simply because he's a professional athlete.

dont compare Ali to Lebron fam
Lebron only talks about issues that helps his career & pockets.
His audience is young minorities...he gets nothing but cool points talking about social justice.
Thats the real issue w/ celebrities getting into real world issues...they will always choose the side that furthers their career.
Look how quick he folded with that China stuff.

That pu$$y got me grinning
I'm talking about when the NBA was in hot water with China over Daryl Morey and his support of the hong kong protests
Outspoken people like Pop, Kerr and Bron ain't say shyt about that whole ordeal. It's easy to be political when it doesn't affect your pockets

Unlike yall i actually live in Sweden. No, not white. I'm east african.
Many my age & older watched Zlatan rise in his early 20's in the early 00's. To us he repped us. Being from the ghetto, talking, walking & being like us. Unlike USA there isn't AS much racism pertaining to colorism as there's ethnics vs. un-ethnics.
But mane that fame blew his head up 4real. He came everything he seemed like he wasn't before. All that fake tough guy persona shyt
is outta here.
His wife? Some blonde bar girl known for being a golddigger & used to work in a place where they usually wont let any of us inside
except if you famous or a blonde swede. His kids? They basically blonde white swedish kids.
Old hood he grew up? NOTHING for them. Not a single dime, not coming to the hood to mentor them or even SAY anything about the struggles in our enviroments w/ the platform he has. Even tho he whined about feeling so himself before he was famous (surprise, surprise right?). Only thing he did for his hood is, together with Nike, build a small "Zlatan court" (literally named that, smh). Now its just braggadocio flossing his wealth to the same people he came up with & doesnt have his money..
So Zlatan shut ya mouth about ANYTHING chump
Yes & yes. Athletes/celebs doesnt owe us anything. But hopefully yall get what i mean..

The hood has never fukked with a soccer player
Exactly these snake dudes try to use these brilliant brothers who have been resting for 60 years, to push their agendas of today without them being able to form opinions of the present .
The sad part most use their words in a perverted manner to uphold white supremacy views of today

Who is this White
What you said was facts. He works for bloody elbow mma site too and I argued with a coworker of his about social issues 10 years ago. Dude was so ignorant and blocked me. 7 years later he was caught for child porn. I can’t believe he blocked you tho.
