He's going to go down as one of the most irrationally AND rationally hated athletes of all time. Pretty incredible.



Incredible for the face of the league.

"People was educated."
So this is correct?

Ignore the grammar mistake for a minute. This is why people hate athletes talking about politics.

Lebron is among the richest athletes of all time. That is a lot of god given talent and a lot of hard work. Good for him, now having said that he hasn't lived a normal life since he was 18. What makes him more educated than baw who went to work the rigs when he was 18 or went to war.

I'm not sure what's funnier- him referring to himself as an inspiration or the 'was educated' comment.

At the end of the day, like I said, I don't think a lot of people was educated. And I think that's one of the biggest problems that we have that when it becomes vote time, that people are just not educated on either the individual or what's actually going on in the state of the world right now. Not that particular state, but in the state of the world. I don't think a lot of people are educated. And they make choices and say things that are uneducated. And I'm saying that the people of Ohio wasn't educated? Am I saying that some of the other states that voted for him was uneducated? They could have been or they could not have been. But that doesn't mean that it was the right choice. I mean, you can go back into the history of time in sports and say the same thing because we keep bringing sports and politics into it. So, you can look back at some of the greatest drafts of all time and say that, 'OK, did the Trail Blazers make the right choice when they took Sam Bowie?' I mean, can we all sit up here and say that they should have taken Michael Jordan? Yes, or no? So, for me as a professional athlete in this state and even though this state voted for Trump, that doesn't stop me inspiring the people of this state and inspiring the youth. Because I would be even more at wrong if I started to pound the people of Ohio. That makes zero sense. My job is and my calling is much bigger than that guy. I don't even like saying his name. So while I have this platform, I will continue to inspire the state of Ohio no only by what I do on the floor but also by putting 1300 kids into school and spending almost $45 million."


this guy is a fricking tard.

Huh?

He says the people who voted for Trump may or may not have been uneducated. He says that the reason Trump won is because a lot of people are uneducated. That =/= all Trump voters are uneducated. He could just as easily be pointing to the ~29% of registered voters in Ohio that didn't even bother showing up to the polls.

His comments are goofy enough without throwing in your own shitty takes. What is funny about LeBron being an inspiration to people in Ohio? Do you think there is a decent amount of the state that looks up to him, considering his background and the help he does in the area?

The grammar is incorrect, but I'm not sure what it has to do with my statement. Bunyan said LeBron called Trump voters uneducated. Reading comprehension says that LeBron did not call Trump voters uneducated.

The fact that he refers to himself as one. There's a difference between his fans calling him an inspiration vs him calling himself one.

He might as well refer to himself as a god, I have no doubt he thinks that he is one.
