Stupid gotcha attempt. Showing the folly of his ignorant comments isn't "melting," and you know it, mijo.
The backlash is all melt because no athlete owns his haters more than Lebron.

So you’re saying it’s ok to compare these millionaires to some girl that is forced into being a sex slave?

It is completely inaccurate. It is absurd.

I don't hate LeBron. I think he's the GOAT, actually. Doesn't mean he didn't say something incredibly dumb.

No, no it’s not. I think I’ll walk into my employer on Monday and tell them they act like slave owners. Exactly the same.

We all know the context of the word he was intending was chattel but go ahead and act dumb about it if you want to.

I’m not making it up. The comparison isn’t inaccurate just because it makes baws feel uppity.

Which one do the poor millionaires fall under?
With your twisted definition, does every human who works under a boss fall under slavery?

LeBrun could shoot ropes on your girlfriend's face and you'd be like "while I disagree with this situation,LeBron is just showing me why monogamy is outdated"

You have zero concept of context in your zeal to play goalie for LeBron
Posted on 12/22/18 at 1:38 pm to xiv
So you’re viewing these players on the same level as actual slaves then?
