Isn’t this pretty much how he was during his last year as LeGM in Cleveland. This dude has had the exact same mentality that he just criticized.

Lebron has a slave mentality toward all the people he owns in this thread.

Loving all this melt.
Not every disagreement with something you agree with is a melt.
In any other decade or era, comparing million dollar athletes to slaves would result in a national guffaw. It would be the subject on Johnny Carson's show.
In our warped time now, it is seen by mongoloids like you as a compelling analogy.
The idea that black people who are paid AT A MINIMUM hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to perform such a non-vital societal/economic service as ATHLETIC ENTERTAINMENT is akin to slavery is worthy of nothing more than scornful mockery.
Black athletes should be blessed we live in a market economy where consumer tastes dictate incomes, not centralized governmental planning departments. Because low IQ dweebs like Lebron don't have any other use in society than that. They would have been sent to the siberian mining fields or spent their career cleaning the toilets of the Kremlin if they grew up in the USSR, where the government didn't put economic value on sports.

So done with LeBron.
He has been trending this way for a while. This is the last straw.
This shite mentality needs to go away.

Yes LeBron, this is exactly how a business is run you idiot. See how much you like your commissioner if you start making the league revenue go down by your SJW BS. I bet you would change your tune real fast.

And how is this different than any other job from fry cook listening to the manager to CEO listening to the board?

Shut up and dribble

The players are who make the ship go,” he said. “We make it go. Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham Jr., without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it’s the same in the NBA. ... The difference between the NBA and the NFL: the NBA [cares about] what we believe [a player] can be, the potential. In the NFL, it’s what can you do for me this Sunday or this Monday or this Thursday. And if you ain’t it, we moving on.”
Hes absolutely right, but the owners of the teams would still be rich if there was no football is what the difference is here. Most NFL players probably wouldnt even graduate high school if it wasnt for their athletic prowess. He should stfu and stick to dribbling basketballs and running from team to team because hes mad he cant win titles even when its rigged for him

James is now and always has been a racist......but, he’s black so it’s OK.
Posted on 12/22/18 at 5:23 am to Bench McElroy
You mean to tell me that a league with a roster of 50 players, and a league with a roster of 10-15 players has a difference in the overall value of individual players? It's shocking... Shocking!!!
In the NBA, one or two players changes your team dramatically. In the NFL, you can have the best player at the most important position and still be terrible (see Green Bay).

He’s playing in the perfect city for this. Old white men will continue to pay absurd money to sit on row 1 in The Staples Center and fund the insane money he makes to throw a bouncing ball in a basket. What a great country he lives in.....slave or not.

LeBron is a racists and stupid. The NFL is no different than any other business. Each one has its own rules and the owner makes them rules. Just like any job you have to do what your boss/owner tells you to do. What makes this so ridiculous is that he is saying this shite in regards to the National Anthem and the kneeling controversy. He is praising the NBA but yet the NBA has a policy that requires it's players to stand for the anthem and it has been in place for over 20 years.
