LeBron just won't shut up....

[lemartinsports]

See. Perfect example of someone who has no idea how international relations work, especially with Russia.

WTF did he expect, that we would give up anything and everything to get her back? Dealing with Russia right now is FUBAR.

Also, there are several other Americans in Russian prisons. I've yet to hear any support from Lebron for them. Is he only pressing for support of those he likes and not all Americans? This guy needs to STFU.

good point here. wonder why only support for her...

im not a lebron fan at all, but reading the article i would understand his frustration if fans are throwing shit at him and also have shirts saying "F*** LGBTQ". thats kinda messed up

Yeah like most stories there is more to it/multiple sides

Lebrons quotes about Griner not wanting to come back were pretty dumb but those shirts are fucking disgusting

 

[stormtrooper8]

Lot of black athletes have commented on racism experience playing in Boston

His quote is pretty inflammatory and it’s an over generalization to make it seem like Boston a whole is racist , but there’s definitely truth to racism being more of an issue there than most cities

well said

Idk man

I just don’t get how non Black people criticize Black people for calling out racism towards them

Even if you feel like Lebron makes dumb comments here and there and doesnt always go about communicating things the right way, I have a hard time watching non-Black people criticize Black people for calling out racism towards them.

The Griner stuff is different obviously; he’s off on that one by a pretty wide margin

the bottom line it does not go both ways imo

Probably a topic we should stay away from as it could get very ugly

Racism belongs to all colors.

Racism belongs to all colors.

Of course it does , and it’s wrong in all cases

I only mentioned Blacks because it was relevant in LeBron’s case

I don’t think I phrased myself well in that post.

I more meant the white/ black dynamic given the ugly history of our past

I didn’t mean to lump other races in there by saying “non Blacks.” There’s obviously lots of tense racial dynamics in this country

My b for that

I don't think it's just a white/black dynamic

I agree

Im talking about Lebron’s comments though and how it’s relates to racism that he’s experienced — which is that white/black dynamic

Boston fans are probably as bad as those "racists" that spray painted his fence.

No such thing as racism it is a made up term.

I’m from the Boston area. 15 minutes just North. Anyone throwing anything at an athlete is just wrong. (that happens in a lot of cities).. The shirts, I don’t agree with it.. but those examples don’t equate to racism. Boston has a history of it and we can’t seem to shed it. I believe there are racists in Boston as well as everywhere across the country.. it’s unfortunate.. sad but true..
