Gotta love the hypocrisy from LeBron James and others shaming Drew Brees

I'd love to get an official statement on LeBron's stance of the massive protests in China last year (human oppression and injustice). Once China threatened to cancel the NBA, he quickly got real quiet on social issues.

If anyone recalls Malcolm Jenkins receive backlash on social media in 2016-2017 because he refused to kneel. Ended up doing the fist in the are thing.

LeBron too had said he wouldn't kneel because he didn't believe in doing that (for the exact same reason Drew doesn't)

frick LeBron James. He will never be good enough to even carry Jordan’s golf clubs. Also, he’s a huge race baiting a-hole

LeBron James is a racist, as is Shannon Sharpe

"Me standing for the national anthem is something I will do. That's who I am. That's what I believe in. But that doesn't mean I don't respect and don't agree with what Colin Kaepernick is doing.” - Lebron in 2016

I said this in a post earlier. Lebron defended China and told Morey to STFU when he stood up for human rights. Lebron and his brand are getting rich off Chinese slave labor and tried to defend the China govt when he realized how much money they were gonna lose.

Lebron is nothing more than a modern day plantation owner. Biggest hypocrite pos in sports...

No different than Kap with Nike. Kids basically used as slave labor making those shoes while the kids here that he "supports" can't afford them. That's my biggest knock against James and Kap, they are fakes. They follow and bow down to the money like everyone else.

China locks ethnic Muslims up in concentration camps. Where’s Lebrons outrage?

And Brees said he doesn't respect or agree with it, so not really the same.

*LeBron James on potentially taking a knee for the anthem: "My voice is more powerful than my knee"

No different than Brees. What a clown.

Actually it is the same.

Lebron-"But that doesn't mean I don't respect and don't agree with what Colin Kaepernick is doing."

Brees- "I think what you do by standing there and showing respect for the flag is you show unity. We are all in this together. We can all do better and we are all part of the solution."

They are saying the same thing. Both advocating stand for the flag while at the same time being able to separate out what Kap was protesting.

Lebron understood it back then, but doesn't now? Why is that? And, when is he going to call out Dak?

No consistency from Lebron. The only difference between what Dak and Brees said are the color of their skin. Who is looking at skin color in this scenario? Certainly wasn't Drew Brees.

It's the opposite.

Nope. You are posting two different things.

First there is kneeling. Both Drew and Lebron are against it.

2nd is what Kaep was kneeling for.

Drew stated he disagreed with kneeling as did Lebron.

Lebron said he doesn't do it, not that he's against it. He also says he respects why Kap did it. Drew said he doesn't do and he doesn't agree with it.

Whatever dude.

If Lebron agreed with kneeling, he would do it. His action speaks for itself.

Drew never said he disagreed with why Kap was doing it, only he disagreed with the kneeling.

Play whatever mental gymnastics you want to play, but what Drew said should not offend anyone that was not offended when Lebron said he wouldn't do it or when Dak said it as well.

Are you against Dak as well?
