“A lot of people, including when you get to the NBA, still have those same things that haunted you when you were younger,” James said. “My goal is to change that and to educate not only my peers, but their communities as well to let them know that our voice is being heard. Our vote is being counted.”The Sacramento Kings have overseen “Rally the Vote,” a non-partisan voting registration initiative that partners with “When We All Vote,” “RISE” and 20 sports teams from the various pro leagues.
Efforts around the league seem to be making an impact. “When We All Vote” CEO Kyle Lierman said that the organization has registered 150,000 people to vote this year partly because of athletes’ influences.
have announced either their practice facilities or arenas will serve as voting sites on Election Day, all 30 NBA teams agreed with the players union that teams that own their venues will turn that facility into a voting site for the general election. The NBA and NBPA said 20 out of 30 teams so far “have confirmed the use of their arena or team facilities for voting and civic engagement programming.
It mattered to ur pocket it’s full hopefully u never run out of money lol. Because any non racist person will not have anything to do with u. You are now known as a racist athlete who nobody likes but doesnt mater u have lots of $. Now ur career is tainted and who cares
So Obama didn't count?
idiot oppress millionaire
This guy is an IDIOT! BIDEN/HARRIS are lying corrupt leftist socialist liberal communist Marxist and are going to leave his ass and the black community hanging if they elected! They don’t give a damn about BLM it’s a front to line the democratic pockets! Do your research NOW!!
The high school graduate telling working Americans that their vote doesn't matter. If you vote Democrat it doesn't because you are still slaves to them.
Cannot say much else except that Lebron James is a moron and those who care what he says are idiots; sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts and Lebron is just a rabble rouser to the detriment of everyone. Lebron James defines the composition of a racist.
That's about the dumbest thing I ever heard, Tell me, did you ever play football and leave the helmet on the bench. Yep, I bet you did. You are a sad representative for the blacks of today. You show nothing but sorrow misery. Safe in your home, but tell that to kids in Chicago .
In short, KingJames is making racist comments in saying their votes don't matter.
This is ridiculous Lebron. Stick to BB. You grew up in Akron, where your “agents” catered to you and bought you toys, like your Hummer. You could not go to college because you accepted so many gifts and so much money from agents, while you were in high school. Get Real!
Just another loud mouth, uneducated sports star who thinks he makes sense. President Trump has done more for minorities than any President ever. Biden has no moral value, cheats for years on his first wife with Jill then uses his first wife with tears, to try for sympathy votes.
Is Nike nikebasketball also “muting” teamlebron LJFamFoundation from speaking out/against the UyghurGenocide ?
Great to encourage people to vote, if you are not directing them or influencing them to vote for a particular party.
What a dumb thing to say. He has as many votes as the rest of us. I don't see SecretaryCarson larryelder RealCandaceO or hodgetwins crying about their votes being muted. Its dishonor all of those that have fought so hard for voting rights of all non-felony adults.
Just put the ball in the hole.
Its called being a minority. You won't always get your way but considering blacks are only 13% of the population you are actually over represented.
Waa, was waaaaaa
Your votes always go to liberal jerks who accomplish nothing. Re education: LeBron why don’t you advocate for charter schools do young black children can get a good education. Don’t criticize and complain. Do something!!
I wish someone would mute him.
Poor LeBron, how you’ve suffered on account of racism.
You vote matters!! Now the Democratic don’t give damn about the color ppl, they only make promises in elections year, vote red,
Well, if you keep voting Democrat of course your vote doesn't matter. Just look at the craphole cities they run. Yet you keep voting for em 🙄
The dude's KingJames either a liar or just plain ignorant. Is it possible to be 100% of each?
Keep voting Democrats and you are right, you vote dont matter. They will keep you down so you keep voting for them. But lebron the mental midget will probably not get the correlation.
Much too dramatic China James. Your sweatshirts and shoes are made by real slaves
Keep voting the same way and keep getting the same results. Democrats hated and used blacks then and the damn sure do it now.
stop voting for democrats
what a bunch of bullshit
KingJames Keep race hustling!! You liberals are the ones dividing us.
Lebrun, please stop showing your ignorance. Your an embarrassment.
Bullcrap. You're a victim only when you believe race hucksters like KingJames & Al Sharpton when they tell you that you're a victim. BlackLivesMatter is only making matters worse since they care nothing for black lives. Wake up POC! You're being used! Break the chains!
Dude. Shut up. Maybe your voice doesnt matter now. All of our voices matter. Not just black people.
BlackVoicesForTrump
How convenient to use blacks and infantilizing them, making them sounds as if they are stupid and unable to vote, not understand what it takes to vote. Stop it. They damn well know how to do this. Stop being an ignorant wealthy black.
That's what happened when you vote for color and not policy and ideology. You have been voting wrongly.
Honestly LeBron, you’ve become nothing more than an overpaid race baiter! And oh, yalls vote count, or the Democrats wouldn’t fight so hard to lie to y’all to get them, as if they really care about the person though. They don’t! They get your votes and then what? Nothing! Sad.
Too bad LeBron only thinks about dollars from those Asian slaves Nike oppresses. JustDoIt
translation: 'We've been giving our votes to Democrats for decades and we're just now figuring out they're full of sh*t.' Blexit walkaway
All lives matter
LeBron should shut up and dribble!
Poor James

Cmon. What?
Maybe that is because most of them vote for Democrats who haven’t done anything for the Black community.
'White people' don't think their vote matters either! Everything is NOT about race!!!
Have them to remove race and color from the ballot.
You're not helping yourselves with the countless children and infants and other people being slaughterd in the street EVERYDAY and crack wars, ghetto gang culture,violent ghetto movements,drive by's, funeral home shoot outs,rioting,looting and glorifying it on the radio all day!
Stop embracing violent crimes as a way of life and Glorify it on the radio then.
Wake up the vote in the Black Community. It's all our Jobs to do. Talk grandma with you next door, take little June but down on the corner at the A-rab Store.
KingJames and exactly that attitude is the reason you allow to be suppressed, you’re not a leader but a complainer! American African votes matter more than ever this year! Don’t listen to princess James get out and vote this awful person out of the WH!
Sorry that is not the number one problem in the black communities. Address the violence in the communities killing the young. Live for what your shirt says.
Recounts give corrupt political manipulators migraines. Vote 4 empowerment. Expose corruption.
I would never allow my race to determine my vote. I'd believe in my self and vote. It's a rare privilege. You have to believe in yourself and race, move forward in faith.
It doesn't matter if you keep voting for Democrats. They have abused the black community since slavery.
WalkAwayFromDemocrats LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
VOTE HIM OUT!!!
Rather than voting, I guess BLMs believe more in taking the law in their own hand. Resist the police when you want to do crime. Shoplift Nike, Macys and Gucci when you need things to wear and eat and grab drinks from others table when you need one.
How is he muted if he can't stop talking?
You know, the more I hear the more I think EVERYTHING is personal to this arrogant dick! Also, the more I miss Michael Jordan!
BOYCOTT!!!
Such BS, bet that almost every black person that you know votes for Dems and that’s why you say that “the voices are muted.” Socialized programs are not meant to advance anyone. But gee, you are a millionaire.
Did the black vote count for a black president for 8 years? LeBron is just a punk who wants to act smart but always comes across stupid.
Their vote matters and is the reason democrats are consistently voted in control of big city governments across the country. If you don’t like how things are going, try crossing over.
That’s cause you keep voting democrat
Dumb as a post
BidenHarris2020Landslide
Again, before listening to this clown ask him what he has done for black people. What makes him qualified?
Huh reality checkek not even the white votes matters Wanna know why Cause it's all about the power that comes with the position and not the people Y'all unnecessary make everything a black issue Ffs people love yourselves already
Says the man through one of the biggest news organizations in the country’s headline
So LeBronJames keep perpetuating ignorance.
Interesting...however loiting .. burning business owned and where People work...including Black's DO NOT HELP THE CAUSE...contrary to what one thinks . 2 wrongs do not make a right...!
If that were true you wouldn't be where you are today! Neither would countless other athletes, actors, actresses, and millions more black people. Stop looking back otherwise you'll never move forward!
Right, just look at Baltimore for the last decades...
This guy is an idiot!!!
If you don't like being the minority go to where you can be the majority there's been enough destruction of our country and everything we believe in because worthless white people are trying to help minorities.
This statement comes only from a communist
Lebron has lost his mind!! He’s being hunted and now his vote doesn’t count! What a made up load of 💩!
Most black people continue to vote for machine political organizations that basically keep them herded in same conclaves and tell them they are lucky to have them.
Voting matters, actions matter, words matter
USA Today puts LeBron's message out of context. Was that a mistake. I doubt it.
Your voices matter more than you can even imagine!
iamcardib and KingJames don’t know a thing about politics.
Be the first supporter 😪 Please permit me to post this here.. kindly help me achieve my goal with a retweet and kindly donate if you can.. Thank you very much and forever grateful 😇😇❤
Is James trying to keep the Black community repressed ? Why doesn't he say.. ' I do not care what party you choose to vote for, but get out and vote in November. Make OUR vote count ! ' Stop repressing and start lifting
Our votes matter. Vote for Biden/Harris.
Blacks are what, about 13% of the population? Their votes count, but blacks alone can't elect the president. But if you look at a lot of big cities, there are blacks running them. So how can they think their votes don't count?
Crybaby LeBron
Pretty negative statement
Their vote counts, you don’t count as a sane person. clown
Its all about the money to KingJames. He will NOT stand up for anything that may cost him his Chinese shoe deal.
Cop-out cry baby. Be a man will you and vote. It’s what real men do.
There are many better role-models than an egotistical Chinese ball player, convincing blacks they’re ‘oppressed’. There are others who are uplifting , more in tune with regular Americans. To name a few - SenatorTimScott RealBenCarson TheSharkDaymond & more.
Now if could just get them to vote for MVP...
Just like being a conservative in CALIFORNIA....my vote literally means nothing. The majority rules no matter what race, gender, religion you are. And if something goes our way, the rules get changed.
Racist LeBron spreading lies again
Uh......
Muted by democrats.
It's called laziness, lack of evolvement in your community, complete breakdown of the family that's why nothing changes
LMFAO...what a phony
🤦♂️
Playing the victim card again. Sad.
Whatever you may think your vote counts! VOTE
Muted their whole lives, not bad making multi millions of dollars for being muted! Lebron, is on the wrong side of God, honor and country.
The left has been using you for your votes for 60 years. How has that helped? Why would you vote for the same old!?
I'm sorry for James, he seems like a smart man, but they're using him on this, and Obama is Biocot's father.

LeBron Raymone James Sr. American pro basketball player, Salary: 37.44 mill., Set-4-Life said. “We grow up and don’t think that our vote actually matters. It doesn’t. We’ve seen recounts before. We’ve seen our voices be muted our whole lives.” 👇🏽POOR BABY JAMES👇🏽
Says the guy who didn’t think he had the right to vote until last year.
Lebron James is on an 8th grade reading and writing level LOL
well, that's not taught in school and they're constantly saying on tv and radio that it matters so where is it coming from?
Tell that to black conservatives. One person one vote. That's how it works. Stop playing the victim card - it's ridiculous & embarrassing. Get out and vote!! And vote Republican. 😉 MAGA
Can someone please send him over seas permanently... He can play ball over there. I'm so sick of hearing him, wines like a baby.
Oooh he is really mad about that MVP vote
What country does KingJames live in?
It’s because you are voting Democrat. They do t care about you. KingJames
Remember YouAintBlack
Welcome to the world LeBronJames We are all in the same boat, every person has 1 vote and counted 1 time. Are you implying because of your skin color your vote is more important?! Everyone has contemplated that question, does my vote matter? Answer is undeniably YES!
On the local elections it counts the most and things get changed on the local level first
That's ridiculous... EVERY vote that is cast gets counted, except Democrat districts where corrupt cheaters flourish.
Don't care about LeBrons vote
I think a lot of celebrities--certainly not all--believe that their 'elevated' status in and wealth somehow makes them omniscient and representative of what people need, think, or want. Too often they're way off base.
There is power in numbers, especially in voting. MLK knew that. Politicians will court you for your vote & will bend to your will to get it. The Black community could be an awesome force if they actively vote in full force.
Minority lives matter & their majority vote needs to bring racial equality to the voting booths. Minorities can beat bigotry by intergrating together as racially equals. Chinese, Koreans, Latinos, Arabs, Asians, AfroAmericans & ect. We need to melt together as people - not race.
In the Caribbean we were taught from early that our votes matters in life. Although we are black we all have different principles of upbringing. Things we were taught in the Caribbean seem not to be in the USA and that comment surprises me. By our educational & social behaviors
Your vote does matter: state legislature, mayor, city/town council, county commissioner, school board, etc.
This guy needs to grow up and get over himself. He is no where near the person he thinks he is.
SCREW YOU JAMES ' YOU WON'T HONOR OUR FATHERS . MOTHERS , BROTHERS & SISTERS OF ALL COLORS DURING THE ANTHEM ' ! THE ANTHEM IS THE TIME TO HONOR THEM ' THEY FIGHT FOR US ' ' NO MATTER THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN ' ! NBA ' NO- BASKETBALL- ANYMORE ' ! BOYCOTT ALL GAMES ! SHAME BOYCOTT !
That’s when u make urself heard get the fuk out there n vote anyway make em throw ur vote out
I’ll vote and pray it matters before I stay home thinking it doesn’t.
In the past, black people always voted for Democrats... so to feel that way is probably understandable
You’ll turn blue in the face trying to convince someone their vote matters, only to turn around and have to explain why theirs and others who voted like them weren’t enough because of the electoral college. It can be frustrating...🤷🏾♂️
Well u keep voting for Democrats and it goes nowhere, what’s there to lose if you switch GOP this time.
He’s a large man that throws a ball thorough a metal hoop. When did he suddenly become Socrates?
I spoke to a young African American man, and told me he will absolutely vote and his friends are voting also! If you vote it will count.
Stooooop.....bro too much. My vote dont matter. Everything is NOT about you. Damn bro just stay in your lane.
didn't we have just a president of color 4 years ago?
I'm sorry, but where on the ballot does it ask what color your skin is or what race you identify with? How do you think people in Florida felt when they refused to count those last mail-in ballots? A lot of people feel their votes don't count, but do it anyway because it matters.
Your vote does count, and you keep voting for democrats who only want to help the black community in words. But in action, they help corporations get richer. Highest income inequalities in the country are all in blue states with a democrat super majorities.
Where was he during the eight years of the Obama Administration?
EFF YOU - USAT is the racist organization of America
Your vote counts. It’s the political party you vote for that is the problem
It doesn’t count because the Democrat Party takes it for granted and you get nothing in return.
CalvinAyre If you don't vote for Joe Biden than you are not black
KingJames Tell the people of Mississippi to go vote for MikeEspyMS
The statement “my vote doesn’t matter” is how a huge percentage of the population thinks. Literally just had to tell my GF that hers does matter.
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of there cup.
Wrong. Blacks keep voting for policies that keep them on Democratic plantation. The voting system isn’t the problem.
What's he talking about? The Democrats have been cultivating & harvesting Black votes since the 60s. And it has gotten the Black community nowhere.
Giuliani, Trump’ surrogate, stated that Blacks are the enemy. If Trump gets 4 more years, he may target us next. He must hear our collective voice now. We must vote him out in a resounding defeat.
Unless there is a check involved, none of them will get off their asses and vote.
Dude really is out of his depth on social issues.
When you vote and what you vote for - a candidate, millage, a proposition - loses, we all feel that way. But you keep voting, keep supporting your issues & candidates and sometimes you win. We are a democracy - so you don’t get your way 100%
it doesn't matter because the Democrats take it for granted.
Our communities have to learn how to vote. I believe most people in our communities wait to be told who and what to vote for. Candidates promising the easy way aren’t serving our communities. To have something in this life you have to work for and earn it.
And been betrayed by the people they vote for...
He is full of $&IT !!!!!
LeBron is also uneducated..he also has said that black men are hunted by the police!!
Uh..what? 8-yrs of a Black president. From 2008-10 Democrats controlled both houses of Congress + the Exec branch. All major cities have been controlled by Dems for decades. Your voices haven't been muted, it's failed Liberal policies that have failed you.
If you look at your vote as a 'black vote', you're looking at about 13 % of the population. By definition it's a minority vote. A vote is a vote, every single one counts. That's how you should look at it.
Is it true Lebron James can’t read?
KingJames is such a pathetic little cry baby.
Another victim hood attitude! That’s what Republicans want you to think! Get off your cam & vote!
What the hell is LeBron talking about? Is he suggesting that black votes were not counted which then resulted in recounts? And then black votes were ignored again in the recount? Or just that the candidate he voted for was not elected...
You need to blame the parents (parent) for that. Black people have to start taking responsibility for their own actions. You have the power to change
IS OBAMA LISTENING? HE GOT INTO OFFICE WITH HIS SKIN COLOR......
Poorly educated man speaks. Media fawns because he can put a ball through a hoop.
Does he ever stop complaining
May I ask. How many black skin electoral college reps? 🤑🧐🤥🖕✍
Please vote
Yeah... But too many have Given too Much for'Black People' Not to VOTE!!!! LBJ is Too Young to Speak on this matter!!!!
Does LeBron realize that the previous President was black?
Guess what ? White people feel the same way
KingJames Stop being a cry baby!
Keep voting loud and clear “ Joe Biden’
Captain woke is extra whiney lately. Jump in your exotic sports car and spend your millions for therapy.
The Democrats don’t own our black vote. If you love America vote trump 2020. If you want more of the same bull and more black poverty vote for racist joe Biden
Privileged race baiter.
Another communist
Because they vote for democrats who never give them anything in return.
