The video is a series of sentences that cleverly transition in sync with the sound of a basketball’s bounce.Then, they become more general: “Shut up and get paid”; “Shut up and just do your job.”
Next, they start telling the story of an encounter with police: “Shut up and do you live around here?”; “Shut up and you fit the description.” That leads to sentences that loosely depict the injustice Floyd faced when Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin put all his weight on a prone Floyd’s neck for more than eight minutes: “Shut up and get on the ground”; “Shut up and lay still.”
Finally, James closes with a statement and a question: “This is why we can’t just stick to sports. Do you understand now?”
LeBron is a role model he should speak up.
Will someone tell me at what point in their lives were these athletes were oppressed? You don’t need to dribble, just keep your opinions to yourself like the silent majority is being forced to do.
Guy doesn’t really understand politics .. he should probably shut up until he gets a little more educated on the subject
It’s nice of China to allow him to talk again
LeBron was told to ”shut up and dribble“ by Laura Ingraham. Please consider the character and motivation of the individual that spewed this garbage. LeBron doesn’t surrender his humanity by playing basketball for a living
Nobody should have to shut up and dribble, shut up and throw a football, shit up and suck a hockey stick, etc.... we all have our own opinions but we need to realize that we need to shut up and listen every now and then.
Any thoughts on China?
Stick to sports is the wrong thing to say.
