re: For all the Lebron James and Kap supporters on here

Not necessarily a fan of either guy however they've both contributed to minorities and their community. Lebron alone has contributed more than Brees on his own. Kap has donated to 40 different orgs. since 2018. Either way, Lebron not kneeling for the flag is his choice but as he said "that doesn't mean I don't respect and don't agree with what Colin Kaepernick is doing.".
Charity and causes link - look to the stars
Seems like your whole talking point is mainly focused on China but the main issue right now have to deal with America. Not sure how they've stirred up violence at all. Kap said time and time again that he knelt because the injustice that is occurring in America by law enforcement to black and brown people. And that the anthem should stand for everyone who is American but when it comes to certain things (or people), it "misses the mark". Never said he hates America or anything like some make it seem.
People took what he did as an offense to say he is disrespecting our flag and the military (which he didn't say anything about the military but ok) and America without regard to what he said he knelt for. Then people said he should've done it another way but not use his platform to do it, ie "shut up and dribble". Then theres the "if you don't like it here then leave" folks. But he decided to protest and use his platform to express how he felt and stated exactly that.
There isn't a hypocrisy, just a narrow looking glass in terms of looking at certain issues compared to the ones here at the home front. Or the smaller picture rather than the larger. Or even calling out to individuals who are/were athletes to and saying they caused more harm than good which isn't true.

I mean technically I support both of them. I just don't agree with all of their views on everything. LeBron is more reasonable than Kap in my opinion.

Remember when Hong Kong protesters were supported by the Houston GM and the NBA flipped their shite?!?
It really is sad that millions of Americans bow to communist organizations because not doing so would be uncomfortable.

Brees didn’t do anything wrong.

People kneeling and I've said it 100 times on here doesn't bother me. Brees getting cancelled when James has made similar statements and nothing happened is for sure hypocrisy. Yes, I focused on China, especially Kap makes money off child labor, poor child labor at that. I'm stating it looks bad to me at least, when you fight for equality here but ignore it somewhere else, especially when you're getting paid off of it.
I don't think Kap or James hate America. I also think protesting is a good thing and I agree with these protests. As far as charities, I'll give you that and may be you are correct on who gives more time and money to charities. It's just concerning seeing anyone run through the mud like what happened to Brees when players like James and Dak have made the same type of comments. Lebron James was one of the main ones going after Brees yesterday.

I dont agree with his support of the Chinese government. But I do agree that he has a right to support whoever he chooses. Same with Kaepernick. I do agree with him, and I absolutely believe he has the right to protest by taking a knee. I wouldnt want to live in this country if he didnt have that right. I also agree with all the ACTUAL peaceful protests that have taken place. There needs to be police reform in a major way across the board.
frick those looters, rioters, and anyone disrupting the lives of people just trying to make it, though.

Who is Lebron James ? I’m fishing right now and don’t feel like Googling. Reading the OT while I eat a sandwich.

I read the OP. It was good to point out the hypocrisy and inconsistency.

Yes
More than enough to eat. And that’s all I want.
Gonna cut some of the smaller perch for jug line bait. And of course I’m going to fry a platter of the perch to eat. Going to give away the rest.
I have my boat parked under a big oak tree now. Life is good.
