The thing is, LeBron, we’ve come to expect more of you. You’re obviously an intelligent person, a compassionate person and a socially conscious person.

I’m sure it was satire, intentional or not.

LeBron mostly said the tweet was ill- timed,
and that people should think before they tweet. Personally, I’d prefer everyone think before they tweet and then decide not to do it, regardless
of subject matter. I’m tired of people feeling the need to publish their thoughts at the drop of the hat.
shite, We all know China has a repressive regime. Been that way forever.

no he called it misinformed and uneducated. How does the tweet meet that criteria?

It's a basic human rights issue that really isn't as nuanced as these supposedly woke individuals are trying to make it. They're quite simply cowards.

Maybe that is what he meant, but that isn't what his words said when he used the words "uneducated and misinformed." Also, LeBron isn't very concerned about the ramifications of his words when he speaks out about something here, so its pretty hypocritical to tell someone else to consider the ramifications of their words about other places.

Imagine if, on any one of the stands Lebron has taken, someone told him he should have waited a week before taking that stand...imagine...

Now imagine it was Darryl Morey who told him that.

OMFG would that be a shitshow like we have not seen. Morey WOULD be fired for that, you can bet your sweet arse.

More BS. Too many do NOT know just how "repressive" that regime really is especially NBA players.

Why Morey still hiding? He should come out defend himself and lecture the Coaches and players if he thinks he is an expert of Hongkong issue.

Coward.

That's the word that is...how do the kids say...problematic.

Uneducated clearly implies that were he better educated (obviously on the subject unless someone its going to try and spin it into being educated on how Twitter works) he'd have said something different. Something, less offensive to China.

Uneducated reads like a word that was sent down on high...it's a totalitarian's word.

It’s why I and many others don’t buy his attempt to “clarify” his comments

Misinformed and uneducated are not words that make sense in the context of what Lebron said.

At the heart of this problem is the fact that Lebron was ever anyone’s champion for social justice to begin with. There are plenty of problems, and plenty of people with educated thoughts on how to solve those problems - great thinkers with experience and passion who didn’t achieve their platform by playing a game or being groomed by a billion dollar corporation from age 15 on.

Lebron was never one of those people and should never have been regarded as such.

But don’t you dare point that out or he will say it is name calling to draw attention away from how right he is.

Did you post this on break while working at the Chinese concentration camp?

How many organs have you harvested this week?

Do you have a quota? Are you paid per organ or per kill?
