Should we really eliminate voices and progress towards one goal because he's not doing it universally? At some point, the victims should be a lot more important to you than...owning LeBron or whatever.
except that is not what happened at all.
I don't disagree. He could have done a much better job getting his point across. But going after him for something he never actually said like some people in here are doing doesn't fix anything and only distracts from the real problems surrounding his statement.
The safety of NBA players and Personnel who were in China at the time. (Lebron was one of those players)
Who's safety does that risk is my question.But that's what you're not understanding. Lebron could have said anything to suggest that the content of what Morey said wasn't wrong, and yet, he made sure that he didn't say anything that supported or gave the impression of supporting Hong Kong. That said a lot about his priorities as far as social justice is concerned, and that he will only take a stand if his money is not affected. That deserves criticism.
Hmmm this is the first time Ive realized this. Good point. I do wonder, did anybody report that players or personnel were worried when he tweeted that? There was a lot of chatter about it and China cancelling, but were there any reports of worry?

Where did LeBron say he agreed with China's ideals?
Take your coded racism and obvert ignorance somewhere and educate yourself (and I mean that sincerely: go educate yourself). You have a shallow understanding of the value of your thoughts, and an even worse reading comprehension. You are dismissed.
They were guests in a country famous for their complete disregard for human rights. Is it seriously that hard to believe that the people who were there might have felt unsafe after seeing the backlash in the news?
Can you elaborate on that? When has LeBron ever given any indication that he would side with an violently oppressive government that kills its own people?
Motherfuckers out here acting like China was gonna broadcast the execution of LeBron James on live tv to make a point.
