After walking out on the National Anthem last week, LeBron James followed up by issuing an ultimatum to the NBA, threatening to quit the league if the Star Spangled Banner, or, as he called it, “that stupid song,” was played again in his presence, James has decided just his games being without patriotism is not enough. LeBron has been privately circulating a petition amongst NBA fans alone demanding that our anthem be eliminated from all league events permanently. And he’s having success with finding support. After only 3 days, James has gathered a monumental 3 million signatures, a staggering number for such a short time frame.
He says the volume is “Indicative of of how fed up black America is with being subjected to that racist tune” and vowed to continue his signature drive for a full month.
And he went on:
“3 million. 3 days. At this rate, the entire country will be behind me.
I stand with Kaepernick. Or kneel with him. Whatever.
This league is made up mostly of people of like me. It would be nothing without us. Everyone knows it. Hell, they made a movie to make fun of them. Wordy Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. They can’t jump. EVERYONE knows the NBA would die without our talents.
Knowing this, the league still disrespects us with that STUPID F***ING RACIST SONG! We’ve had enough. And the fans have had enough, as these signatures show.
It’s gotta go.”
Just shut the league down, we say. America would be better off without them.
America has 63,000,000 that say LeBron can shove it!
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT LABRON AND THIS SPORT BUT HE IS A TROUBLE MAKER AND THE ONE WHO KNEELS THE SAME. WE NEVER HAD THIS WHEN THOSE PEOPLE WERE NOT PAID TO BE IN PUBLIC. KEPT TO THEMSELVES AND WE DID ALSO.
Nobody would miss Lebron
lmao @, “when THOSE PEOPLE were not being paid to play publicly” …so ANY black who attempts to speak up is a TROUBLE MAKER? ..hmmm sounds like what a Plantation owner would say if a Black wanted fair treatment. …Racists and their bootlicking Black Sellout counterparts should allll go live on their OWN island and then, blow it up!!
Another overpaid narcissistic uneducated athlete who makes millions for playing with a ball
I WILL SAY I WAS NOT CHRISTIAN IN MY WORDS BUT FACEBOOK TOOK MY POST DOWN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOU PEOPLE BUT MY CHURCH GROUP HAD ONE A FEW YEARS AGO AND THERE WAS PROBLEMS WITH THE FOOD AND DONATIONS.
Prolly the same 3 million Hillary used for her unpopular vote lead in 2016. Actually, prolly the exact same 3 million names. It’s stored on Seth Rich’s thumb drive that was switched out before Donna Brazile got it off his body at the ER, once the ambulance finally arrived.
This man is an idiot and anything he says is not worth listening to. He is doing more damage to the game of basketball than anyone ever. This only proves is dumb and ugly and can only do one thing, play a game. You would think that a man ( and I use the term man litely) who has earned millions with his intelligence level (very low) would be grateful of the rights afforded to him in a great county like America ..
As a Buckeye, I am terribly embarrassed. I have followed him since high school as he truly was a 17 year old phenom of sorts..basketball talent! The last few ‘stunts’/behaviors are so very selfish on several levels. “That’s All” .
Great Job I support him…………………
Stop going to Sports if they want to be anti-American
I will cast my vote to his petition by keeping my Tv off NBA stations. I wonder who died and made him God.
He is an absolute fool. The Star Spangled Banner has zero to do with racism. Evidently he is dense as a 2 by4 or he would realize that. I say we deport him to Iran so he can be with his kind. We don’t need him and definitely would not miss his foul racist mouth
We can do without basketball, if he doesn’t appreciate the national anthem, and he thinks everyone is racist. Than he can go to another country like China and see how their people live and he will appreciate the American way of life. Just cause he makes plenty of money playing basketball he is going to speak for me, I don’t think so. Speak to the veterans and see what they say about our National Anthem.
If it wasn’t for Abraham Lincoln where would he and the others be now? What a way to respect all our American Veterans who sacrificed so much for us all.
you all are a bunch of racist miserable honkeys
Certain things like the flag and our national anthem are sacred to lots of people especially the dieing generation of WWII. Without those folks his great (or great great) grandparents would would have been gassed. If this idiot had a brain he would get butterflies with this rasist song (in other words if it ain’t black it’s racist).
If by any chance can you imagine This actually happening. LeBron should be ban from Basketball by suggesting such an outrageous thing. Basketball was great before LeBron, it will be great when he is gone. Also it will cause him to lose any chance of Breaking any records. American can be control by the masses if stupidity. What will be the symbol of America, next they will want What.
He won’t be happy till they actually crown him KING
Ah, let him have it his way. The first game without the National Anthem, all go to the game with ear plugs just in case some anti-American music was played. The second game would be nearly empty, no matter where they played.The gate price may be big, but the snack bar would be slow and the beer counter would be empty, or there might be a line with all of the 39 people that are celebrating that they finally have front roll seating. Hey Dud, go buy your own country and play what music YOU want.
hey little boy, take your ball and go home to africa
