LeBron James has come under fire like never before after wading into the NBA’s China controversy. On Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers star finally broke his silence on the tweet heard around the world: Daryl Morey’s message of support for the Hong Kong protestors that’s threatened to upset the multibillion-dollar relationship between the NBA and the Chinese market it has spent three decades cultivating.
Is there a demographic in existence that *isn't* showing backlash against LeBron? (A non-Chinese demographic, that is...)
Actually has to do with human rights and his hypocrisy. So ya there’s that....
Ya think? What was your 1st clue?
😠😠
This is a lie on two fronts. Lebron has to speak out because of his brand and business dealings.He doesn't want to get shut out of the Chinese market.
Sorry, James unnecessarily criticized someone doing right by protestors. He sided with the ‘police’. He deserves criticism. The right does what the right does.
Guess we just ain’t edumacated....
'state sanctioned killings of unarmed black men'
It is not a conservative backlash - don’t be silly
Everyone: “what LeBron James said was stupid and problematic.” The Guardian: “Not as problematic as the right wing response.”
“And that is the essence of hypocrisy.” Last line sums up Lebron and his bullshit fairly succinctly, pity I had to read the rest of the garbage article to get to the truth.
If that one tweet would really put the altheles at physical risk, they shdnt go on tour in China at all. It's all abt money.
“Fox News” – Check! “state-sanctioned killings of unarmed black men” – Check! “Donald Trump” – Check! “Tucker Carlson” – Check! “Laura Ingraham” – Check! “Jason Whitlock” – Check! “Colin Kaepernick” – Check! “1968 Olympics” – Check! “Ted Cruz” – Check!
It's more about bowing down to the world's 1 polluter, oppressor of its Muslim population, social credit implementing and overall bad guys---China .....oh and the potential damage to his wallet
The backlash is worldwide coming from disappointed fans too. And Etan Thomas's take is just as bad as Lebron ignoring what's happening in China in this whole article. Selfish and hypocritical.
This is not about 'conservatives' at all.
You don't have to be conservative to criticize this player's cowardice, just to be in favor of human rights and not to bow to dictatorships. Totally nonsense matter. DemocracyFORHK
It's part of their support for Colin Kaepernick for speaking out on controversial issues.
He is very disgusting.
Lebron James is merely an Ill educated Man on matters of World Politics and should learn that because a microphone is in his face doesn't mean he MUST Speak..
Sure. It's about money.
Where's the liberal backlash tho lebronjames
yes it does solidarity 1A
Conservative? Doesn't everyone hAte China for what they are doing to Hong Kong?
Conservatives aren't the only ones upset with how Lebron has handled this
