Zlatan Ibrahimovic rips LeBron James

[Nike D'Antoni]

“He’s phenomenal, but I don’t like when people with a ‘status’ speak about politics. Do what you’re good doing,” Ibrahimovic said. “I play football because I’m the best playing football, I’m no politician. If I’d been a politician, I would be doing politics. This is the first mistake famous people do when they become famous: for me it is better to avoid certain topics and do what you’re good doing, otherwise you risk doing something wrongly.”

Soccer is more popular worldwide (football) but here in the USA it's below fucccing Hockey/NHL. nobody cares about the MLS or what soccer players say anyways so stfu Zlatan.

[Stanley Kobrick]

I believe Zlatan Ibrahimovicis is the Stephen A Smith equivelant of Chechnya and highly respected by Kurds

[bison]

There’s some truth to this. At least in the US, you have tons of successful celebrities that are good at their craft but feel pressured to reach the transcendental levels of icons like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Jordan or Mohammed Ali. So they take up these neoliberal causes spoonfed you them by what corporations think are revolutionary. LeBron is example of this. He builds schools for disadvantage kids but you won’t ever see him criticize capitalism or corporations. I don’t doubt lebrons good intentions but his worldview is limited and he’s only been exposed to the brand-building corporate sponsored form of charity.

[ZionDunks]

Who?

Yeah, who. Lol.

Just a guy with 20 million more followers than Lebron.

What’s funny to me - and I am an NBA fan - is this nonchalant attitude by other NBA fans that seem to foolishly believe it reigns supreme culturally still. Hate to say it but outside of the 2% on twitter and here, no one cares anymore.

Go look at how many people follow the Chicago bulls or even the Lakers.

Then go look at how many people follow Real Madrid, Manchester City, or Bayern Munich.

Then tell me “who”. Culturally, the NBA is an underwear stain globally. Even when you toss in LeDisney and China. Sucks but true. The NBA has lost the culture

he's not wrong. James' politics are annoying Karen whines but in 30 years no one will remember James's tweets...will they? Will the tweets be more important than the play?

[bison]

Who?

It’s almost like LeBron simps are proud of being ignorant. Kobe fans respect The Beautiful Game and acknowledge Zlatan as a fellow Sigma male.

[ZionDunks]

I think the play will be remembered but LeBron James should be loved and liked by all like MJ or any other great was; is instead really only liked by half and the other half of Americans who know who he is see through him and actually dislike him. That’s a shame.

I’ll try again.

Lebron is known all throughout the world but his sport and what he represents isn’t. It’s like Tiger woods. Everyone knows him but not that many people follow golf. Same with Lebron globally. Zlatan is a star in a game people care about.

Everywhere I have traveled cares. Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, France, Argentina, Scotland. Soccer/futbol is religion in all those places and they will always know the Zlatan.

It’s not better because it’s popular but it’s just something I like to remind Americans when they look down upon Zlatan for responding to Lebron and they say “who is this loser?” If Zlatan woke up tomorrow and was a basketball player for the lakers instead of a gladiator for AC Milan, he would hang himself instantly.

And honestly I love nba.

[fourkicks44]

He is a cuck because he is scared to speak up about those that make political decisions that impact him.

He doesn't believe in self determination or free speech.

Sounds like the most undemocratic thing I have ever heard.

Cuck like.

Then the hypocritical dumbass thinks he will speak up against people who are willing to speak out.

Lebron OWNS Liverpool FC.

He doesn't seem like someone who's particularly scared to say whatever's on his mind. He's basically admitting that politics just aren't on his mind, so he doesnt talk about them.

Ofc I'm not saying anyone should aspire to be politically ignorant... but if Zlatan decided to randomly speak about politics without having a clue what he's saying... he would basically sound like a lot of these NBA players. (Not talking about Lebron here obviously, because he's a woke, hung genius. But other players with similar "views.") It's like a genuine intellectual playing pickup ball at a YMCA rec league and thinking he belongs in the NBA. A lot of player 'activists' are completely clueless on issues they 'activate.'

So he's basically saying neither of them really knows shit, but only one of them constantly throws ignorant, cringey, self-important political drivel into the public sphere.

Can't really argue with him there (Regarding Lebron's peers, not Lebron himself obvi)

Who is the true 'King' to listen to?

Lebron or Carl XVI Gustaf?

:oldlol:

He probably just understands that as an athlete he's also a brand in his own entity, so him expressing opinions about politics would affect the opinion of many others. I agree with him that he shouldn't use his platform to try and change the world towards one side of politics or the other, because his opinion doesn't matter more than yours or mine.

What if Zlatan is right wing? Should he then still be using his platform to enlighten the masses on politics, or are you expecting him to only express a certain set of political thoughts?

I'm sure he has his own political opinion and is willing to discuss it, but why should he use his individual brand entity to try and persuade others to think the same as him?
"To enlighten, educate and open minds", why do you think Zlatan or any other athlete or celebrity is worthy of educating others on world matters?

Why should millions of people listen to his political opinion like it matters, just because he's good at sports? It's not about whether or not he's worthy, but whether or not these celebrities are inducing the sentiment that everything needs to be political, everything is a message.

LeBron lied about reading a Malcolm X book like a child.

Zlatan is right. Aside from being unsavory, in culture, Lebron James and all NBA players don’t have the reach and impact they perceive that they do.

Sadly, this is not the era of Magic, Bird, and MJ. This isn’t even the era of Kobe.

No one outside of nba twitter and the guys here give a **** about the NBA anymore. Lie to your wife but stop lying to each other and yourself.

Zlatan is a loser who thinks he is better than everybody. He's arrogant for absolutely no reason. He hasn't won anything as a footballer. No balloon d'or no champions league no world Cup. Please op is a Fakkit don't listen to him.

[k0kakw0rld]

Zlatan is a guy who played in the biggest teams there is (Inter, Juve, Barcelona, AC Milan, Manchester United) but never won anything major.

He's overrated just like that fakkip op.

Which is kinda ironic considering he has millions of twitter followers, as does Lebron.

Like who are all these millions of people that follow celebrities on twitter?? Shit fux with my head tbh. Humanity has intelligent individuals but as a collective species?? We ARE basically tail-less monkeys.

How low are the IQs of these millions of people that wake up and need to know what some celebrity had for breakfast via their tweet about it, or what random thought passed through an athlete's head, or to see the pictures of this or that musician walking her dog??

Literally MILLIONS of people "follow" these celebrities on twitter. Think about the physical amount of people that is. Numbers bigger than the population of half the world's countries.

The masses get what the masses deserve. LOL at this "fair share" communist shit. Any broke ass following celebrities on twitter is already getting WAY MORE than their fair share. B'lee dat.

[Lebowski]

Well said. Only lacking is real leadership skills. The whole nation has looked to Zlatan to be "the one" more than once, but when it really matters he has let us down in that department. In the end, Zlatan cares only about himself (which I guess reflects somewhat on his comments about LeBron).

lol @ "Who?". Please.

First of all, he's not American so maybe he doesn't fully understand the rights that each of us have as citizens here. But secondly he's suggesting that a person can't be great at more than one thing, which is not true.

If Zlatan is too stupid to handle kicking around balls and being thoughtful about politics that's his own problem - it has nothing to do with LeBron.

[KobesFinger]

I'm not a fan of Ibra but this isn't true. He's won the league with all of those teams except United. Something like 8 domestic league titles in a row, regardless of the team he played for.

Back to the OP - he's wrong. If you have a platform, you should use it. You don't have to talk politics all the time but LeBron doesn't

I think his point would be that Lebron also doesnt “handle” that (competently) yet does it anyway (incessantly).

Theres no right or wrong IMO. People who think a guy’s views have a positive impact will likely support his speaking up, people who think his impact is negative will feel opposite.

There’s no objective “should or should not” to it I reckon.

[hold this L]

Lebron was the same guy that told Morey to shut and dribble about the slaves in China right. All to ensure that he continues to get that sweet, luscious China money.

LeBron's efforts to boost black voter turnout and to fight voter suppression has received universal praise.

He did his job so competently that his opponent, Donald Trump, then President of the United States, took time out of one of his last campaign speeches just to talk about LeBron James on the eve of a hotly contested election.

The fact is that LeBron is now a real player in American politics and he isn't going anywhere.

Lebron is definitely a beautifully woke genius, I agree. But Zlatan probably disagrees, therefore his view is likely that Lebron embarrasses himself when he pontificates on subjects he only understands to the extent a parrot understands words it has been trained to vocalize.

[KennyPowers]

Uncalled for.

We should embrace political propaganda from trained circus seals with only a high school diploma like the U.S.S.A. democrats intended!

Yep... in USSR Soviet Russia, they used their famous entertainers to push political propaganda. Sound familiar? See Democrat actors/athletes and how they constantly spew communism... I mean socialism... ah shit, I meant democracy!

Uneducated U.S. entertainers love pushing mainstream democracy. The kind of democracy that's forced on you... like communism.

He is right, we don't need people with a middle school level education lecturing us on anything other than whatever sport they happen to be great at. We don't want to hear LeBron or any athlete's opinion on politics because they don't have any qualifications or experience to justify listening to their opinion. There are some folks who tell the truth and I would listen to but they are rare ~ barkley is probably one of the only ones. Most of the players today are liberal brats.

So you want everyone to always focus on politics? No wonder Amazon is blasting out their commercial series of trying to save the world from climate change, people eat that shit up.

Good to see the bigotry come out though, we all know it's there.

Brands and corporatism is the new religion, Lebron here is included as a brand(people of status as Zlatan mentions). You align yourself with certain brands and through extension thereof you support certain causes and ideology.
"I'm an Apple guy, Steve Jobs was a great man".

This stuff is dangerous because these brands aren't really out to save the world, what they want is to make money and they don't give two shits about tricking you into buying their stuff in the process no matter what they have to pull on you.

LeBron (anyone for that matter) is entitled to his political views and can express them whenever he feels like doing so. No one is forcing people to agree with LeBron's views.

I'd agree, but Lebron is not just a regular person, he's a brand. The institutions that represents rich people tells you to vote for the exact same people that Lebron tells you to vote for btw, and you're accepting of the influence from Lebron so it ends up being the same.

Ibra is absolutely right. Lebron can have his opinions and he can share it with friends and family but when you put on some glasses and act like you're malcolm x while you're tatted up from toe to head with a billion dollar bankaccount...

It's hilarious to me how the right wing acts like it cares about Muslims being persecuted in China, while bashing Muslims in the Middle East. It's incredibly disingenuous.

For the record, I don't care what happens to the Muslims in China (or in the ME).

If that's the standard, then the NBA also doesn't have to concern itself with human right's issues in this country. That's not their job. But they do anyways, so your point is moot.

I repeat **** Zlatan. 31 titles (all league or domestic cups)

0 world Cup, 0 international trophy, 0 champions league.

Trying to look like malcolm x sometimes too.

Sometimes its alright to speak up. Sometimes an athlete's voice can be powerful.

Like Drogba and his teammates getting on their knees begging the Ivorian people to come together in peace to stop a war on live TV after World Cup qualification. Thats one thing.

But Colby Covington calling out Lebron and threatening to beat him up in an interview is fake af. Or Kyrie taking time off to publicly raise money for some nyc politician like wtf is that?

LeBron is the most popular american athlete in the world today. His voice weights more than any athlete America has produced today. In a country where Kanye can run for President I don't understand what's the problem with LeBron raising awareness or talking about politics. That's his role.

[insight]

There’s some truth to this. At least in the US, you have tons of successful celebrities that are good at their craft but feel pressured to reach the transcendental levels of icons like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Jordan or Mohammed Ali. So they take up these neoliberal causes spoonfed you them by what corporations think are revolutionary. LeBron is example of this. He builds schools for disadvantage kids but you won’t ever see him criticize capitalism or corporations. I don’t doubt lebrons good intentions but his worldview is limited and he’s only been exposed to the brand-building corporate sponsored form of charity.

How do you really know how limited Lebron James world view is? Have you had a personal conversation with him? Part of his job as a public figure is to maintain a marketable image, but don't assume what you see represents his total world view. FYI, Elvis, Michael Jackson and Jordan and Lebron are nothing like Mohammed Ali. Ali sacrificed everything for his principles, values and religious beliefs. He was hated for it at the time and was only gain world respect when the world realized is was on the right side of history.

[insight]

He is right, we don't need people with a middle school level education lecturing us on anything other than whatever sport they happen to be great at. We don't want to hear LeBron or any athlete's opinion on politics because they don't have any qualifications or experience to justify listening to their opinion. There are some folks who tell the truth and I would listen to but they are rare ~ barkley is probably one of the only ones. Most of the players today are liberal brats.

You don't know most players, you just making generalizations and stereotypes. Do all Lawyers, School Teachers, Business Men act and think the same things?

Roles aren‘t assigned based on sporting popularity.

LeBron is deattached.

In a democracy, politics is all of our responsibility. This person sounds like a Croatian. Not bothering to Google him. They don't know of democracy.

Bingo, your are exactly correct!

No, that's not his role. He believes he's entitled to politically influence people, because he's popular. His role is to win basketball games.

I grew up same state and a year older than him. I knew about Lebron before he was on ESPN in HS.

Do you want the stories? Gutter human being. He’s no Ali, we don’t need to get into it if you don’t want.

Trump was ****ing president. Nobody is off limits from politics.

[ralph_i_el]

I'd agree, but Lebron is not just a regular person, he's a brand. The institutions that represents rich people tells you to vote for the exact same people that Lebron tells you to vote for btw, and you're accepting of the influence from Lebron so it ends up being the same.

You are absolutely right. I honestly think LeBron could start the revolution if he wanted to.

Yes, the scholar that the US is basing their claims on genocide in China on does not read or speak Chinese, thinks God has sent him on a mission to destroy communism, and that the rapture is coming to "cleanse all Jews in fire if they don't convert".

[AussieSteve]

It’s almost like LeBron simps are proud of being ignorant. Kobe fans respect The Beautiful Game and acknowledge Zlatan as a fellow Sigma male.

I would consider Kobe a mu male. Sigma is low, even for a Kobe hater

[TheGoatest]

Really bad timing from Zlatan considering he was on the receiving end of some incredibly vulgar racist insults at a game recently:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOQudjYJLCk

[ralph_i_el]

Ok, I looked this guy up and apparently he's Swedish? Of course he thinks like this. Nevermind. Swedish people take a very technocratic view of government, rather than looking at it from an ideological or "party spoils" perspective. Not as much to fight over.

[ZenMaster]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOQudjYJLCk

I don't think you understand the point Zlatan made.

It's not about right or wrong, of course Lebron is right and entitled to have his opinions and also use the fact that he's a celebrity to get that opinion across to others.

The question is whether or not it's good or bad for the world as a whole. People worship celebrities and athletes like religion, so these celebrities can be used to affect and control the opinion of large segments of people - propaganda, which is inherently a bad element to have in society.


You are absolutely right. I honestly think LeBron could start the revolution if he wanted to.

But he's not looking to start a revolution, he's literally been on TV so many times telling you to vote for an old white man or woman who are career politicians. If Lebron is actively telling you to vote for establishment politicians as a man of great means, is he himself not part of the establishment?


https://youtu.be/isbW5RLIeDY

[LAL]

Zenmaster. I like. Teach these kids please.

[ralph_i_el]

We are on the same page here Zen, that's what I was saying. He clearly doesn't want a revolution, he refuses to put his money where his mouth is. Funding schools and charities is a way to forestall a revolution. Hustling votes for Democrats is too.

As for Ibrahimovic? It's easy for him to think that, because in his country the government agencies are staffed by professionals, and the cabinet ministers who are appointed by the elected officials can't interfere with their work (constitutionally) most of the time. This means their government acts in a limited range of proposals they get from experts...not corporate lobbyists. There's really not much to fight over.

If you want me to get mad over Lebron being a politically active shitlib, I really can't. It's par for the course. At least he's doing his politicking in public as opposed to hiring a bunch of k-street assholes to shake each other's dixks.

To me, it's not about what kind of government exists in different countries, but about understanding the long term dangers of modern content marketing where so many companies are looking for an antagonistic element to combat, because it sells.
No one should care what any brand thinks about a political subject publicly, it doesn't matter if it's a corporate or single person brand.

He is. Black people are the worst bigots on the planet right now.

As a POC I want them to remember reverse racism and black supremacy they’re practicing right now is still racism.

We are all children of one God and individuals, not a skin color

LeBron is a dividing, angry man. And half of people despise him for it. Sad ending for what could have been different

[kawhileonard2]

He is right. Lebron wouldn't be saying anything if he was not a millionaire. If he were making $2 million a year, he wouldn't be saying s***.

[bladefd]

I'm sure Zlatan is fine expressing his opinion, but that doesn't mean broadcasting it out through social media channels or to reporters.

Why should millions of people listen to his political opinion like it matters, just because he's good at sports? It's not about whether or not he's worthy, but whether or not these celebrities are inducing the sentiment that everything needs to be political, everything is a message.

He has a platform, a voice he can use for change if he chooses to. It doesn't even have to be "I support that politician (or party)", but something like doing a movement to plant some trees or promoting mental health. Not everything should be considered political. You don't think he or anyone with a platform can provide their voice for change? He just chooses not to use his platform for positive change because he is either selfish or a coward.

[bison]

He is right. Lebron wouldn't be saying anything if he was not a millionaire. If he were making $2 million a year, he wouldn't be saying s***.

That makes zero sense. Twitter is full of nobodies and everyday people putting their political opinions on social media. How do you know LeBron wouldn’t still be outraged over police brutality if he were a grocery store bagger instead of an nba star? It’s amazing how many of you hate black dudes for being outspoken.

You get triggered defending LeChina, I can tell. I’m black. LeBron is a bigot. He sets my race back every time he lies about reading Malcolm X books or says someone painted his gate and the police can’t find security footage of the perpetrator. He’s Lebron Smollet. Jussie James.

I love basketball, but I know that Lebrons reach isn’t quite what he thinks it is. And I said it in the other thread, if Zlatan woke up and played basketball for the LA Lakers, he would hang himself. LeBron is sideways turd in his worldview

I agree with you Lebron is no Ali, that wasn't my point. Lebron is not perfect, and being critical of how he has treated people is a legitimate beef. I've heard stories as well from somebody who is a friend of his mom and they are still upset how he treated her in the past. With that said, nobody is perfect and what he is doing in the community building schools, investing in youth programs and speaking out for social justice is positive.
