He's hung, I'll give him that. Not sure if his position on 'social activism' is consistent though.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Selfish?

Yeah maybe.

Considering who Morey is employed by. Uneducated though? That would imply Lebron is educated on the matter. And that Hong Kong protesters are ignorant people.

Maybe Lebron should stick to yelling and drooling over tacos. Tomorrow is Tuesday, big guy. Do your thing.

Lebron is actually taking the position MOST Americans should be taking. Lebron literally said he isn’t informed enough on the issue to take a side. Imagine if most Americans took that humble approach and maybe we wouldn’t have stupidly invaded places like Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

And yeah the HK protestors are ignorant, if not selfish. China isn’t America. The Chinese people do not like or care for America’s culture of Hollywood degeneracy that HK seems to embrace. They like their society the way it is and HK protestors (at the behest of the CIA) want to destroy that.

Yes, but this is the dude who claimed NFL owners were slave drivers, because they wanted Colin Kaepernick to do what he was paid to do instead of engage in self-righteous attention whoring.

Lebron was applauding Kapp for his stance when Lebron's money wasn't on the line. He was villifying NFL owners when it was their money on the line instead of Lebron's. As were countless 'woke resisters' in this country.

Now Lebron is condemning Morey for speaking up on social justice because it might cost Lebron money? If Lebron doesn't care about Chinese oppression, why does he think white people have to give a **** about black oppression?


The issue isn't Lebron's stance on this matter alone. It's the obvious hypocrisy of being 'all about social justice' when it helps him look cool and woke, but not giving the least **** about it when it puts his endorsement $$$ at risk.

[Smook A.]

That was a really dumb thing to say for someone who's "more than an athlete". I like LeBron but this makes him come off as a huge sellout

But I wish he was either more intelligent about social issues or would just STFU.

Being over the top in love with this dude is getting harder and harder.

[Stephonit]

I can be critical of LeBron but I don't wish him ill. This is a bad look. He needs to back away quickly like Morey did. Maybe even issue an apology.

And Lebron is a professional athlete, not a professor of international politics. Of course he’s gonna have an opinion on sports ownership and not East Asian geopolitics. He’s doing exactly what you people accuse him of not doing: staying in his lane.

Oh and he’s right about sports owners. Owners shouldn’t even exist. They reap the value produced by the players in the form of billions of dollars while doing literally no labor themselves. It’s not literal slavery but it is very evocative of it.

Smart guy this Lebron James :applause:


Criticizing Daryl Morey for doing something Lebron was just yesterday advocating for athletes to do, is staying in his lane? If Lebron would just shut the **** up for once, thatd be staying in his lane.

Last I checked, Lebron was doling out advice on whom NBA Fans should vote for in political elections :lol

LeBron James is wrong here. Very much wrong.

If you want to call someone uneducated, it means you disagree with their message. So let's hear why Morey is wrong about Hong Kong. I will wait, LeBron, while you talk about Hong Kong.

Watch, you will not hear a word from LeBron about Hong Kong or human rights violations by the Chinese government. That's when you know he is talking about the money.

Lol.




In a world run by China, blacks would be relegated to the same work camps as the Uighur Muslims are. Black people are still largely viewed as less capable/intelligent/desirable in China, a lesser race only to exist as entertainment for the master class. The current government has been doing everything possible to stamp out black and Western culture in their society. Most rap and hip hop music beyond that which promotes the regime has been banned. Hollywood film studios have to create separate promotional film posters which either greatly minimize or completely eliminate the appearance of black cast members. Blackface programs mocking the appearance and customs of blacks are both popular and wholly acceptable.


This was a popular ad that ran on Chinese television. Imagine something like this being acceptable in any Western nation in 2019:

And LeBron is cool sucking up to that for some extra coin in his pocket. :facepalm

Right or Wrong.....That was very bold, very definite on the part of Lebron.

He has decided where he stands and intends to shut this problem with China and the NBA down. You know what? It will probably work.

He, in effect, is voice of the NBA. Beyond Morey, beyond Silver. Lebron just stepped in an shut this thing down.

That's a boss move.

This is why fake wokeness is embarrassing af and being "anti-Trump" has become nearly toxic.

After stomping the campaign trail for Hilary, I thought he would stop. But undermining what China is doing in Hong Kong (And in Xinjang quite frankly) makes him look like an even bigger, bald headed Muppet.

I can see players and owners keeping their mouth shut on this to play both sides of the fence for the sake of capitalism, but one of the most popular athletes in the world giving China his blessing is a BAD look. Wonder what the rest of the world thinks about this shit.

LOL @ thinking LeBron is the only player who makes money off of China. The damage was already done before he even went to China to play a few pre-season games.

Fake outrage. What has Daryl Morey done? Starts some shit by sending a tweet when players and teams planned on going to China. Then the coward deleted his tweet and went and hid in a corner. Morey didn't go about this issue the correct way period. Has anybody on this site heard from him about making a stand for HK since? Now he's the one "staying in his lane" after getting talked to by the league.

Morey isn't any different or any braver than any of us Americans. He just sent a flipping tweet in a vague way expressing his "opinion".

China basically has had slave labor for how long? They've had these camps for how long? China's government structure has been the same for how long? Nobody said a thing. All of us typing on our keyboards about this issue or buying Kobe's and Jordan's are supporting China. Where do you think all this stuff is made?

Although vague, I know that Lebron has been the only one to express his displeasure with Morey. I'm sure the majority of the league's players, management, and owners feel the same way but haven't expressed it.

So ya'll can miss me with the fake outrage. The cancel culture in this country is some BS. Group thinking and attacking like a bunch of bots. So continue to buy your Jordan's and talk on your smart phones.

He's a high income member of the middle class.

[wang4three]

I generally agree with the stance of you shouldn't speak if you don't know the issue. This Hong Kong v. China issue is very intricate and complicated and I consider myself fairly well-informed. So Lebron making a broad claim saying do not speak unless you're educated as a premise.. is fine to me.

However, what I don't agree with his claims saying "his guys" had a hard week. Give me a ****ing break. You have people in Hong Kong that are being brutalized, government shut downs of public facilities and you're worried about having to answer some tough questions and people taking down a poster of himself. To them, there is nothing more importance than gaining international recognition in their pursuit of independence, regardless of when or where your basketball game is.

I respect the hell out of Lebron and am a big fan, but he just needs to stop putting his foot in his mouth. It'd be easier if he just said, "I have a lot of economic interest in China, I do not want to put any of it in jeopardy for a cause that I don't understand." THat's totally fine and respectable in my book. If I had hundreds of millions to billions of dollars on the line, I may not tow it differently.

[Meticode]

He makes a high salary but he doesnt run shit or own shit.

I generally agree with the stance of you shouldn't speak if you don't know the issue. This Hong Kong v. China issue is very intricate and complicated and I consider myself fairly well-informed. So Lebron making a broad claim saying do not speak unless you're educated as a premise.. is fine to me.

However, what I don't agree with his claims saying "his guys" had a hard week. Give me a ****ing break. You have people in Hong Kong that are being brutalized, government shut downs of public facilities and you're worried about having to answer some tough questions and people taking down a poster of himself. To them, there is nothing more importance than gaining international recognition in their pursuit of independence, regardless of when or where your basketball game is.

I respect the hell out of Lebron and am a big fan, but he just needs to stop putting his foot in his mouth. It'd be easier if he just said, "I have a lot of economic interest in China, I do not want to put any of it in jeopardy for a cause that I don't understand." THat's totally fine and respectable in my book. If I had hundreds of millions to billions of dollars on the line, I may not tow it differently.

I think he kinda did, or someone did, something about wanting to continue to grow the game in China and not letting politics keep us from doing that (huge paraphrase.)

But yea he should not have said shit about Morey, imo. You don't fight your own dudes. You can say I dunno, but how can you say you dunno but someone else also doesn't know and imply they were wrong to do what they did. Say you're not gonna go there, and when people ask you about what Morey said, you say, 'ask Morey.'

Bro Morey is a middle class guy. You think I don't know he makes a high salary as GM of the Rockets?

It's a bit semantic, sure, but in any case I think the original point was about his political views. I think Morey is more of the pretentious left-wing 'twitter hero of the disenfranchised' types who live comfortable, segregated, middle to upper-middle class lifestyles and pretend to be woke, rather than the C. Montgomery Burns type in a castle on the hill rubbing his hands together etc.

Lebron is a dumbass and rides the waves of popular movements to soley capitalize off branding.

He did the same thing in Cleveland with the Tamir Rice case. There are NBA players who are ahead of the curve and have been, but they stay to themselves.

Hopefully it didn't take this situation to see thru him. Dude legit bragged about not getting an education.

[34-24 Footwork]

To make matters worse, he's allowed right-wing bigots to capitalize off of his stupidity by allowing them to look more courageous than him :lol

You got mike pompeo out there talking about the Uighurs like he actually gives a fvck. And Lebron, the global icon whose shoes are made in China, is polishing Xi's balls in interviews in front of the whole world.

[34-24 Footwork]

With that said, I have NO PROBLEM with NBA players not giving a fvck about Hong Kong when FEW multinational companies give a fvck about humanity, in general.

If you're screaming at the top of our lungs, "Free Hong Kong", but you have like 80 "Made in China" products in your house then you probably truly don't give a fvck about them either.

What's interesting is that we're holding NBA players, to a higher ethical and moral standard than everyone else.

[34-24 Footwork]

As dumb as Lebron is, he's protecting his financial interest at the expense of human right using dumb arguments just like every other predatory capitalist out there.

What's funny is that his comments sounded like a Fox News segment claiming that cutting ties with Saudi Arabia would hurt the American job force :lol

The difference is that he actually believes the shit he's shoveling and Fox no one on Fox News does.

No one should listen to them either. Not if they don't know what they're talking about. And they DON'T. LeBron, MJ and Kobe are walking commercials. They only have a superficial understanding of anything other than basketball. That's ok. But it's asinine to think an athlete or musician should speak up just because they're popular.

Super Bowl champion Burgess Owens (https://www.amazon.com/Burgess-Owens/e/B076CLHYPN?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_2&qid=1571239386&sr=8-2)is an athlete that transcends that and is both intelligent and informed. But he doesn't own any NFL records that I know of and is not in the Hall of Fame (and is a conservative) so most fans will never hear of him. He did, however, give a testimony to Congress (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odph7rv73GI)so someone's paying attention.

No athlete (or GM either, LeBron) should be told to "shut up and dribble" but that doesn't mean their opinion is informed.

the other said that he loved just the republicans who purchased his shoes.

That's not what he said. MJ wouldn't endorse a Democratic candidate because "Republicans buy shoes, too." He was basically saying he was staying out of politics altogether.

First of all, it's not certain he actually said it.

Secondly, at the time MJ supposedly said it I thought he was being dismissive and indifferent. I was disappointed he did not want to "join the fight" but now that I've read a few books, learned a little history and escaped the indoctrination of the American public school system I realize MJ shouldn't have supported the candidate. Democrats have been ruining black communities for decades. The only people that still don't realize it are blacks themselves (87% vote wholeheartedly for Democrats year after year and then somehow blame Republicans for the sorry state of their communities). I'm glad I got off that plantation.

10000000% this. They weren't THAT concerned about their brand.

Lebron is willing to sacrifice what little political depth he has for an increase in consumers - he's willing to expose his stupidity for some kinda SJW icon.

When people would say he's the Muhammad Ali of this era, I would always think its ridiculous, not just because he's clearly a phony, but also there's really no situation in the US today where an athlete would be put in that position, same thing went for Kaep.

However, maybe I'm wrong. If him or someone else actually took on China and went against Nike and the NBA, that would be comparable.

Of course, that won't happen at least with Lebron, because like I said, he's a phony and he's clearly exposed himself as one. People called out Jordan for not getting politically involved, but this is definitely worse. Jordan was never exposed as a social justice phony because he never tried to act like one. He quietly would do good things for the community, but didn't make it part of his brand because he knew being "woke" wasn't who he really was and wasn't going to put himself in the position Lebron has put himself in.

No, I’m literally saying bring a better person than a guy who has been called out for his anti black views, the guy who hates Lebron and a bunch of their colleagues.

Regardless. Lebron doesn’t owe anyone shit. Stop being entitled

You're right, he doesn't owe anyone anything. But he put himself in this position. If you're going to brand yourself as this champion of social causes and then one comes to your doorstep that could actually significantly affect your bottom line and not only will you not comment on it, but instead you say its not your problem and blast the guy that did comment and his right to free speech, you're rightfully going to be criticized as a hypocrite and someone that cares about money more. Its a lot easier to go at Trump when everybody celebrates you for it.

He actually does have a point about the uncomfortable position Daryl put them in. But if that was the ONLY takeaway that he was going to highlight and couldn't even offer something vague about his belief in democracy (not even saying he should get very opinionated on the subject if he doesn't want to especially if he's not that well-versed about the details), he just shouldn't have said anything at all. And since that's not what he did, he deserves the criticism he's getting.

Pretty sure MLK’s quote about “injustice anywhere...” wasn’t just limited to injustice anywhere in the US - would be a weird thing to say if that’s what he meant. It’s one thing for him to not take up the fight, but you really think MLK was indifferent towards injustice in other parts of the world?

I'm not sure LeBron is a hypocrite. I don't think he ever cared about the stuff he was saying. He is very image conscious and phony. He wanted to be regarded as "Michael Jordan impact in the court; Mohammad Ali impact off the court". It was all bullshit. Ironically, he was never courageous. He was just saying what he knew the media and most of his fans would celebrate.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZLGy8VkWM4

LeBron calls the President a bum and says he would never meet with him. What kind of "leader" is that? Did Frederick Douglas refuse to meet with President Lincoln when America was oppressed by REAL racism and slavery? No he met with him and got things done. That relationship ended in friendship but it wasn't always sweet. He was the one that advised Lincoln to add blacks to the Union army. That helped win the Civil War.

Did MLK refuse to meet with President LBJ? No. LBJ was maybe the most racist President in history. He called blacks n*ggers, screwed so many women he made JFK look like a choir boy, walked around with his p*nis out telling his secretaries to touch it and he used to take dumps while holding meetings with his officials. True story. But MLK met with him.

LeBron is no leader and never has been. He's just an attention whore shucking and jiving for the spotlight.

Whether he cared about the stuff he was saying or not, he did say it and portray that image. But when a huge chunk of potential money was on the line over a human/civil rights issue that came to his doorstep, he kept quiet. Sounds like a hypocrite to me.

That's what makes this really disappointing. I'm not sure if black nationalist is the correct term but a better one escapes me for the moment. That there are so many rushing to defend him and his narrow field of support shows how limited they are in their commitment to civil rights as well.

There are innumerable cases of black victims deserving the wider sympathy and support of society but examples like this, the BLM protests sabotaging Sanders, and the riots supporting Michael Brown undermine the integrity of the issue.

That's what makes this really disappointing. I'm not sure if black nationalist is the correct term but a better one escapes me for the moment. That there are so many rushing to defend him and his narrow field of support shows how limited they are in their commitment to civil rights as well.

There are innumerable cases of black victims deserving the wider sympathy and support of society but examples like this, the BLM protests sabotaging Sanders, and the riots supporting Michael Brown undermine the integrity of the issue.
Bingo.

Facts, not feelings. Truth, not narrative. Yet it's hard to shake off the indoctrination from the public school system, hollywood, music, most news organizations and peer pressure to see what is there in black and white. The "woke" are actually still sleeping.

"I know President Xi of China very well. He is a great leader who very much has the respect of his people. He is also a good man in a 'tough business.'


Somebody said that at some point they're going to want to stop that. But that's between Hong Kong and that's between China, because Hong Kong is a part of China. They'll have to deal with that themselves. They don't need advice," he added.

my understanding may be off DR, but i would also prefer the
resources be focused on public schools for 'all' students

not just a handful that would attend private schools

Schools in "inner cities" already receive far more pr. student than the average school.

It's the people in the schools that are the problem, not the lack of funding.

Obama took away the option for many black families but sent his own children to private school. If DC public schools are good enough for other black families then they should be good enough for his children. Let's stop pretending. DC public schools are horrible and we all know it.

This is a tangent but I wanted to point out how the narrative that we are fed doesn't match reality. Trump's the racist but he has helped the black community more than Obama has. The Democratic Party needs blacks so angry and distrustful that we don't see or accept facts and continue to support policies that are killing our communities.

In a way, if LeBron had a fictional character, he'd be Cartman. Selfish prick that's always attracting drama. It usually is a good thing for the NBA. Views = ratings. In this case though I'm not sure China appreciated the attention he drew by adding more fuel to the dumpster fire.

Rich people can send their kids to private schools.

I just don't understand why the people whose kids would be most helped by school choice are such ardent supporters of public schools/teachers unions which mostly serve the teachers' best interests and not the students. The very mention of charter schools sends them into a tizzy - I just don't see what is wrong with having a choice instead of being stuck in some low-performing, local school.

I advocate the money following the student so that parent/student chooses which school is best for student - then there would be competition and bad schools would eventually close.

Same reason they think every high school grad should be crammed into universities, and for that matter universities that permit only one line of dogma.

Freedom and choice inevitably lead to inequality. Some people make good choices, some people make bad choices.

Inequality is the natural state of man. It is the core of evolution. Individuals have different qualities, otherwise a tiny environmental change could wipe out whole species.

Leftards believe that if we force everyone to think and talk and act the same, it will somehow produce equality in the human condition.

So therefore EVERYONE SHOULD GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AND ONLY STUDY GOVERNMENT APPROVED SUBJECTS AND HISTORY.


Because equality is the buzz word they've memorized.

Liberals expect wholehearted support for their agenda. You either agree with the whole show or there's something wrong with you (racist, sexist, something-phobic, uncle tom, sellout, etc). They do not support individual thought or any sort of dissent. That's how people feel the need to blindly support a Party's agenda even in areas that don't serve their personal best interests.

Don’t know a Lebron Stan who isn’t in denial about this situation. There isn’t even a defense

Genocide of Muslims. He doesn’t care about justice or what’s right. Just lining his wallet with Chairman Xi dollars.

Sick

[Spurs m8]

China are basically modern day nazis - on steroids

Concentration camps, genocide of Muslims, harvesting organs while people are alive, social credit system, releasing bio weapons onto the world...

Wiping out the ccp would improve humanity

Morey was right...LeBron is a coward and a selfish bitch for not using his voice somewhere is actually matters.
He literally profits off people suffering.

But yes...he does get more shoes made...because even though he retired almost 20 years ago.. people still buy his shoes.

No one wears them or buys. Is that why Nike is paying him over billion dollars? Brilliant business decision from Nike to give a dude over a billion dollars for endorsing stuff no one buys. :cheers:

Funny how you are applauding 10 year old slave kids making your idols shoes. Speaks volumes about your disgusting and dispensable morality.
