@@benadek6703 Right, but you can't complain about oppression in America while ignoring the oppression in China.

Crying about oppression while making millions from Nike that uses slave labor to manufacture the shoes that the sales of pays them, just smacks of insincerity and fake moral superiority.
So long as Dana White is in charge of UFC I don't think it'll change. He's too much of a egocentric, loud mouth, meat head to let wokeness take over his company.

The players in any sport are never bigger than the FANS . Owners are about money out money in. Reduce fan gate revenue merchandise income and sponsors spending millions to have their label to promote WILL no longer BE AN ATTRACTIVE investment. Eventually will discontinue and move on. Who wants the drama to spend their money. Take 50% of the fans away and that money goes away. An unsolicited thought to pursue would be pickup a book withot the pictures and large font before jumping on a narrative that is uneducated and just plain foolish... Bite the hand that feeds you seems to be an appropriate quote. Good luck with your delusional mindset. Have ever been to Europe
He’s actually a smart guy. His social justice persona is just a front. He created an empire and has uplifted the people around him. I wish he focused on promoting that message instead of victim hood, but that’s not appealing enough to social media.
I never thought I wouldn't watch sports anymore I would watch every sport and like you said I don't miss it. My buddies hit me up for this year's fantasy football draft and I told them I'm out give my spot to somebody else.
I did at first and was like no we need sports yet I haven't watched any since they came back. Doesn't excite me and it doesn't even feel like sports right now anyway. Feels like a news channel and even players in all sports have said they can't get into it the same without fans.
You may well be completely honest in your proclamation but I'm going to guess that 90% of the people who make such claims will not stick to them. It's like sticking to a diet or quitting cigarettes.
@@jimm.1013 I put a Jordan jersey I got when I was a teenager into a garbage fire. Threw 2K18/19/20 on top of it. Tossed my Zach Levine jersey in there, shut the lid, and washed my hands of the NBA forever. You'd be surprised.
Lebron says he don’t care about losing viewers, I’m sure he’ll care when he starts losing out in all those millions of dollars when everyone stops watching!
@Swish Gee I've never watched the NBA . I think it's a shitty ass sport . People criticize soccer because of low number of goals . Well basketball is the opposite, its 110 points a game , the guys get I don't know how many but like 50 time outs , the court is so small they can make a basket from the other end . The ball seems hard to handle for an average human being, but if your 6'7 " like George floyd or taller the ball fits right into your hand like grabbing a grapefruit. And at that height it is so easy to dunk . The game is rigged for black people to dominate , but that's ok because my mexican people dominate the horse races 🤣 lightweight boxing. I guess I can't be mad but I never likes that sport , and since the football players protest i stopped watching football.
@Swish Gee I had two coworkers who would argue for hours and hours about lebron James, one was a hard core fan the other hated the guy . It was funny but also annoying as f___k . I can't understand how a man can obsesse over another man's accomplishments. I'm not a sports fan and I hate when people have a "team " and they talk like they're part of the team, they'll say things like "we won " or " we lost " . "We " got such and such player. Can you imagine me after watching porn saying "yeah we fucked the shit outta that bitch " 🤣🤣🤣. Redicules . Especially when the players are so ungrateful. I lived near Coby Bryant home in Newport beach. And by near I mean in the nearest shit hole 🤣. You can see his mansion from the beach up on the hill . I think it's so hypocritical of these black athletes who all live in mansions, in gated communities, surrounded by "white privilege " 🤣. Yet protest the unfair treatment of black people in the black community , when they themselves don't want to live their . All blacks who become millionaires move the hell away from poor blacks .
The point that the NBA’s saying they don’t care about losing fans over politics shows how outta touch the league really is and has been for awhile now.
Elites think fans are simple. They need to learn we have the real power and in this case it's called MONEY. LeBron is a divider and he should be ashamed with his fans being of different unique people. PITIFUL just PITIFUL.
It would actually be noble if their positions weren’t hypocritical. Because sometimes you have to be on the right side of history and go against the masses. The issue is the hypocrisy especially with regards to China. But in principle being willing to sacrifice salary for just cause is noble. Just not in this case
CEO Top Dog Reference my response to David K. If NBA revenues decline, then so will player compensation. What do you mean will LeBron accept that?? He’ll have no choice! What kind of stupid ass question is that??
Earth to LeBron. NBA ratings have never been this low in the history of the game. The next broadcast rights will be so low that no network will want to pay for them. Watch the NBA sell their broadcast rights to Amazon lol
Can't wait for the NBA, MLB and NFL's collective bargaining comes along! The shock on the players face will be golden when their salaries are slashed due to lack of revenue.
@@jaylacy9912 the point is, at the end of the day. The NBA, NFL and MLB are a business. Money needs to come in for it all to work. So without an audience, there's no advertiser's. Without advertiser's, there's no money to pay these babies. It's that simple. If you owned a business. Would you pay someone that wasn't making you money? The answer should be a simple no. Otherwise you wouldn't be in business very long.
Wayne Bollentin ..umm noo!! If you were selling a car you can use that! You have to always look at investors! Investors pull the strings all the time. If the Money came from just fans trust me it will not be a NFL! These investors play no games.. CEOs cringe in those meetings.. why do you think Red Skins changed their name for example? FedEx is a sponsor and they also have investors so they basically we stand with the BLM movement so if you can’t change the name we our out! That’s why they always say you hit their pockets then they start talking. Players will get paid regardless
Also people need to remember that have huge fan base and large platform and it’s working their favor! Those owners, investors will listen to the investors all the time!!! People not stop really worrying about something they have no control over! There are a lot of corporations who support the kneel and BLM and you are buying from those companies Now!!
@@jaylacy9912it's call an investment for a reason. You can't just keep losing money. They may support BLM right now but it's starting to really kill them in the ratings. People are tried of the Marxist bs movement and political bs in their sports. Most don't give a fuck what they think or how they feel. They're just a bunch of sanctimonious hypocritical assholes anyway for the most part. Advertisers spend money because of the access to the millions of fans. You lose the fans, advertiser's will start to pull out. You can only throw away so much money and not get anything in return for so long. The fans and ratings are the key. If no one is watching. It will die. Remember people invest to gain something in return. You can't keep losing and expect it to last. Many of these idiot's are doing it because they believe it's a path to beat Trump. The reality of the situation is, it only guarantees another 4 years of Trump. So many will continue to lose money like fools until the election but it won't continue long after that.
Nobody asked you to "speak for all of us" Lebron. You're a guy that thinks he's an intellectual, but hasn't come to the realization that you're an intellectual lightweight.
No even lightweight, just uneducated on his history. Have you ever seen the Jewish community place symbols throughout America and abroad representing them? As of 2012 the Jewish community received 89 Billion Dollars in reparations, what have the Black Community received 0 Dollars.
To be fair to LeBron, most people overestimate their own intelligence. I personally consider myself to be above average but something as simple as my vehicle having a problem is a stark reminder of my own ignorance.
Don’t know how common my story is, but went from huge NBA fan to hating even hearing about it pretty quickly. The worst people on earth work in the NBA.
I play basketball regularly love it, it turned into my favorite sport to play after i couldn't play football any more. I have watched the NBA playoffs and most regular seasons since the early 2000s after watching the first two games of the restart i have decided to not tune in a bunch of uneducated uniformed premadona's. I don't quit watching ESPN on youtube and undisputed. I don't want my sports and politics mixed at all.
I stopped watching all sports,movies and TV for about 12 years, 2000-2012, with now only casual interest.The trend of thug ball was becoming apparent. I am so glad I did. Now days me looking at sports scores is like studying the Dow Jones. I am not missing anything.
Over 30 million on unemployment...I don't care what James' politics are. He's just mad he'll NEVER be the G.O.A.T. Why is the NBA, MLB, and the NFL allowed to have a jobs, but those 30 million can't?
Professional athletes aren’t “allowed” to have jobs. They have a skill set that generates massive revenue, so they are compensated accordingly. “Allowed” has nothing to do with it. Aren’t we all ardent supporters of Capitalism??
Luis Casco “a skill set that generates massive revenue”, as long as people engage with the sport. If the sport keeps losing fans then the revenue drops. Without that massive revenue these athletes will not have their jobs, regardless of their skill set. The NBA - like every other business - sells a product. That product is the players and their skill set. If people do not want to buy that product anymore, then the NBA cannot make money. No money, no jobs. These athletes are where they are because of the fans willingness to consume the product. Once the fans stop consuming, the jobs disappear. That is what the majority of them do not understand.
A small group of individuals picking winners and losers is not Capitalism. Capitalism is based off individuals deciding for themselves want they need and want. It shouldn’t be made for them.
I've been a Lakers fan since I was 8 years old. I remember watching the 84 Finals as a young kid and would stay up until 1 in the morning to watch their games while living on the east coast. But I'm done with this team until LeBron is gone. I'm sick of everything being politicized. I don't watch the game to hear athletes opinions. I watch as an escape. LeBron is entitled to his opinion as an American but I don't have to listen to it. Bye.
Those were the Years that BUILT the NBA of today! Some really CLASSIC Team Battles between the Celtics, Pistons, Lakers, with the Rockets and Trailblazers making solid challenges too. Then Michael Jordan showed up right towards the end of the 80's to dominate, yet show Class that we RARELY see in the NBA players of today! Classic NBA and Classy NBA is all but GONE!
@@MrJamberee I agree he is way out of line. I know it's people like him that make me appreciate President Trump even more. So keep talking Lebron. You are amusing & laughable.
Why would Lebron James care, he’s earned his money, not thinking about future generations that want to make a career. I thought sport was a place to enjoy and relax!
Nor is he thinking of how China views the world and the future, world where his own children, grandchildren and great grandchild will live. They make no bones about their goal as Economic superpower and taking down the US -- having the US at their mercy so they never have to answer to any country on how they rule . And NBA is just part of that process, doing what they want. This is not conspiracy theory but a real directive, just watch Chinese conferences and the way they steal tech - and such, it's part of bigger take over. But greedy US people and companies don't care - it's about the money.
I agree China is the interest behind this what else can it be? We all get on black white olive whatever the colour, all of a sudden people need to feel guilty, guilty about what? I for one have had it with BLM or any other movement that seeks to divide us!
I used to like james but now the more he talks the less I like him. He just comes off racist millionaire, who talks like he lives in the hood. Because you were given a unique gift from God doesn't mean you are in infallible.
@@dangreene9846 I agree, Lebron is a fake revolutionary, and a fraud of an athlete, if Nike stop sponsoring him, I bet he will shut up and dribble, its easy to speak about Donald Trump if you have a company like Nike backing you up.. Is an equivalent to a person to talking shit knowing you have 10 dudes or more to back you up, even if you are not a so called tough guy.
I don't watch sports because of the kneeling! Been going on for a few years now. Tired of sports being politicized. My kids and I play catch in the yard, hockey in the street, and actually took down the basketball hoop. I am protesting by not giving basketball a chance in my home.
Imagine believing any thing from devil's who stole this country chemtrail spraying creating aids etc actually believing anything they say and there devil children imagine being children of devil's and clocks ticking on yall and y'all don't even see that's tha hilarious part
Lol I'm a coin and card dealer and I was wondering why everyone is dumping the LeBron merchandise and memorabilia on eBay and auction sites and for crazy low prices ,now I know people are burnt out with the political bullshit in the sporting system, good time to get the merchandise even though it might be worthless one day
Labron James needs to shut his mouth. He needs to realize that he’s not Michel Jordan and he’s still just a citizen. He needs to show respect to the president. Ur absolutely right on all accounts.!!!😎🇺🇸✌️
Michael Jordan is also just a citizen. Sure, he's filthy rich... who got rich doing the same thing Lebron is doing minus the woke politics. Jordan is smart enough to keep his politics to himself. He's a businessman first and foremost. Lebron? He's a high school educated athlete.
@floyd delancy What's the name of these white elites he's helping? Who are the KKK members you can tell me about? I need names of the people you claim he is helping. Should be easy for you tell me right. What equality don't you have? Give me examples & then give me examples of how Trump's holding the black community down. All simple stuff for you to explain right.
I've been watching the nba since the mid 70's, I was about 10. I have watched 0 games this year, including before the shutdown. I'm tired of the politics bro, sick of it. I'm done for now, but if this is going to be the norm for them, I'm done for good. Thanks for covering this!
I agree, it’s so sad what has happened here, there’s no room for politics in sports, I hate that they are trying to separate whites and blacks, we are Americans color doesn’t matter,
Yup. I started watching the NBA before Malone was traded to the Sixers. Remember that? Most fans today are not old enough to remember that. Started to lose interest after Jordan left, but kept watching. The last several years I have watched fewer games every year. The NBA being hush on China lost me. At this point when LeBronda opens his mouth it just validates my choice. The league lost it's way years ago. Before the Beijing Olympics somewhere.
Weekend Hobby22 what about the millions of international fans supporting the NBA who don’t give a shit about American politics, you really think they care enough to stop watching the NBA?
Cynthetic Gaming let it become China oops I mean someone else’s league then. The bigger issue is compliance, not revenue. Let them exist and serve a (sh1t) product if they want, but let those of us who want no part of that to turn out backs on it and become indifferent to its fate.
Labomb is an over paid voice of the late nba.He high school education doesn't give the right to speak about subjects he has no knowledge of. He is fortunate enough that he has already made his white man's money. I don't believe he has left anything for the players in waiting. To say what he says surely can't be what all players believe. Hate to see one man destroy what it took Magic, bird,and the rest of the old school players developed.
colten53 I’ve been thinking the same thing for years. How can these billionaire owners of these sports teams allow their employees to sabotage their investments, and also, are they blind to the backlash that’s going on?
How are yall so mad about black lives mattering & ppl against police brutality... what kinda twilight zone shit is this. Shouts out to the NBA for standing up for their people.
If the pandemic has taught me anything, it’s that I really don’t care about pro sports after all. I haven’t missed them and I don’t plan on returning as a fan.
Same here, I was a fan for 23 years of the NBA. I didn't miss it when it went away, once they started going full woke mode, I said I'm done and I haven't watched one game. Don't even look at highlights. Adios NBA.
@@WOWimTim Yep and the rating for the NFL draft were huge, NBA should be killing it but they went way overboard with all the politics to the point that the game became secondary.
Get woke go broke! My life revolved around sports. Spent thousands on gear. I have a packers shrine in my basement. I haven't watched an NFL game in three years. Baseball and basketball is now officially gone as well. Im not even missing any of it.
@@austinbrown2371 i coached hockey for years, my son has been playing since he was 4. He's now 21. I am a penguins fan because Badger Bob Johnson. I do have great respect for the NHL. I myself played Baseball at a fairly high level so it's gotten rather personal to me how the left had completely destroyed my sport.
I’m one of those fans that tuned them out after opening night lol and then it was solidified after everyone was happy when that kid blew out his knee because he stood for the anthem
There are literally restaurants and hotels in China where black people are not allowed in. Lebraun James is a moron who is LUCKY that he was genetically gifted and was born into a time where athletes are well-paid and revered.
Never ever. He's literally a spoiled brat, pampered and coddled from his early teens and he's never grown up. And when the truth about "BLM" and Hollywood and all Democrat pols is exposed, Lebrat will be looking even DUMBER.
Lebrat is not the king of basketball, he named himself the king of basketball. He acts more like a drama QUEEN....He's just a FOOL With low IQ......HE'S NO ROCKET SCIENTIST, but I was one when I was 13 year old kid........STFU and play BB........
Hey NBA....I used to be a huge fan back in the day when Magic, MJ, Bird, Hakeem and Ewing roamed the courts... now I don't watch at all and could care less....
I was watching 4 nights a week with nba league pass before the league shutdown, playing draft kings, and won’t watch now due to anthem protests, etc. Also voting trump this election. Nba gets no more of my $$$
Watched him since high school, and always cheered him on where ever he went. Guess since I'm white, and we all are racist according to him. And only BLM matters to him. Not quite the hero I had in mind. He once cared about his community, and helped them. Now all he promotes is hate and racism. All lives matter, but now to me not his.
I used to be a big NBA fan until about ten years ago when it seemed like the entire league became the prostitute to King China's ego. It became a reality show instead of a sport. They certainly have not done anything to encourage me to come back and I will never come back until they denounce the CCP.
Life long laker fan. Can’t stand lebron now. The NBA has signed its own death warrant. They have forever lost me as a fan as well as millions of others I’m sure.
The NBA does social justice messages: I change the channel, clean the house, detail my car, or do yard work. I used to watch from way back in the 70's. Back then, I used to watch Pistol Pete play H.O.R.S.E at halftime and then go outside and practice his moves outside on my basket. Favorite players back then, Pistol, Bill Walton, David Thompson, Paul Westphal, Dr. J, George Gervin, Ernie D., Kevin Porter, George McGinnis, Big E., Bob Dandridge, Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich, Jerrry West, among others. Good luck NBA,. I am no longer a fan. NFL also. They kneel, I turn it off and do something else.
Well said. I was a 76ers fan. Maurice Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Malone, Bobby Jones and the incomparable Dr.J. That was then. Now I no longer follow NBA, NFL, or MLB. After they blatantly disrespect all TRUMP supporters, how could you follow pro sports. NOT ME AND MY FAMILY and FRIENDS.
Clay Travis I've never heard of you before but let me say I totally disagree with your whole premise on this. The NBA will be just fine whether viewers leave or stay. Never have an opinion on the worst President this country has ever produced. Just stay quiet as he runs his idiotic mouth. Lebron is an American citizen. He has a right to his decision. I think you and those who listen to you are morons
He gives a lot back to his community. Helps the less fortunate. You don't have the slightest idea of what this man has done to people and he's right if he doesn't want to watch the games than go watch golf or Hockey
@@darrylberry5695 The point is THIS....The people that give him the Ability to do so In the first place he is busy criticizing yet...He will not live with his SO CALL PEOPLE !!!
And tickets most all Republican work and can afford to pay for watching a children's game. If every Republican boycott basketball it would dry up really fast
And Michael Jordan is on wrong side of history because of that. Funny how white ppl pretend they like Dr King and others who sacrificed because they didn’t care about winning over the public at the time
@@cletusndifor8070 Dr King was called a communist by white people when he was alive. So clearly they considered him a leftist, even though he had conservative social values. He didn't identify with either political party because he had good sense and morals
But the fact that the conservatives are straight forward, it's easy to understand them I will never vote for a liberal/progressive/Communists/socialists what ever you would like to call them. Dr King realized they were not good. That's why he was more friendly with the conservatives even though he leaned towards communnism maybe due to the economic module being discriminatory to black in the 60s. Conservative ideas are good for our black people.
Magic, Bird and Jordan built up the NBA... Lebron and crew have destroyed it!!
Absolutely correct, NBA finals were not even televised live when Magic and Bird came into the league, they changed that.
Facts
Is sad because is True, been watching since '76, and since restart, only the heat for 1 game.
So true!
so true
Is James concerned about Nike slave labor in China making his shoes? Apparently not

Can you imagine me after watching porn saying "yeah we fucked the shit outta that bitch " 🤣🤣🤣. Redicules . Especially when the players are so ungrateful. I lived near Coby Bryant home in Newport beach. And by near I mean in the nearest shit hole 🤣. You can see his mansion from the beach up on the hill . I think it's so hypocritical of these black athletes who all live in mansions, in gated communities, surrounded by "white privilege " 🤣. Yet protest the unfair treatment of black people in the black community , when they themselves don't want to live their . All blacks who become millionaires move the hell away from poor blacks .

Lebron who? Sorry guys I'm just not familiar with Chinese athletes.
@KENTUCKY BLUE WATER Merica!!!! Love Kentucky by the way... great state!
This is suppose to be political correctness.
Lee Bron? That huge tanned Chi master from the Tai chi school? Naaa. You live under the rocks
Ha ha ha ha love it
and the winner is......this guy. that was gold
The point that the NBA’s saying they don’t care about losing fans over politics shows how outta touch the league really is and has been for awhile now.
Their biggest audience is in China! So that's where they need to take their show.
Yep, millionaires playing a child's game telling me I'm a racist is not a good look.
Elites think fans are simple. They need to learn we have the real power and in this case it's called MONEY. LeBron is a divider and he should be ashamed with his fans being of different unique people.
PITIFUL just PITIFUL.
Does Lebron and his stupid ways realize he helps Trump??? He is the dullest knife in the drawer...Politically he is one step below a moron!
It would actually be noble if their positions weren’t hypocritical. Because sometimes you have to be on the right side of history and go against the masses. The issue is the hypocrisy especially with regards to China. But in principle being willing to sacrifice salary for just cause is noble. Just not in this case
I haven't watched an NBA game this season. They can pound salt when those jerks are down on one knee during the national anthem. Same goes for NFL.
Get woke go broke. James isnt worth it anymore. His 5 cent head gets in the way of his million dollar talent. He ruins the sport!
Matthew SMITH at one time a nickel was worth 5 cents, the NBA is just a penny.
So much hate and jealousy you people are prophetic
The Spoiled Millionaires are taking their fans for granted. Let's see how long it takes before they start facing pay cuts
How are they spoiled? They are paid for a service
Kevin Glover Exactly. I thought Outkick viewers were staunch supporters of Capitalism??
CEO Top Dog Reference my response to David K. If NBA revenues decline, then so will player compensation. What do you mean will LeBron accept that?? He’ll have no choice! What kind of stupid ass question is that??
Luis Casco We do. We just don’t support Marxists, and he’s one of them.
Matt Eckhardt Fair enough.
Earth to LeBron. NBA ratings have never been this low in the history of the game. The next broadcast rights will be so low that no network will want to pay for them. Watch the NBA sell their broadcast rights to Amazon lol
If they sell to amazon, I'll cancel my subscription. 🤨
Can't wait for the NBA, MLB and NFL's collective bargaining comes along! The shock on the players face will be golden when their salaries are slashed due to lack of revenue.
Why because they no longer will be silence! That’s dumb!
@@jaylacy9912 the point is, at the end of the day. The NBA, NFL and MLB are a business. Money needs to come in for it all to work. So without an audience, there's no advertiser's. Without advertiser's, there's no money to pay these babies. It's that simple.
If you owned a business. Would you pay someone that wasn't making you money? The answer should be a simple no. Otherwise you wouldn't be in business very long.
Wayne Bollentin ..umm noo!! If you were selling a car you can use that! You have to always look at investors! Investors pull the strings all the time. If the Money came from just fans trust me it will not be a NFL! These investors play no games.. CEOs cringe in those meetings.. why do you think Red Skins changed their name for example? FedEx is a sponsor and they also have investors so they basically we stand with the BLM movement so if you can’t change the name we our out! That’s why they always say you hit their pockets then they start talking. Players will get paid regardless
Also people need to remember that have huge fan base and large platform and it’s working their favor! Those owners, investors will listen to the investors all the time!!! People not stop really worrying about something they have no control over! There are a lot of corporations who support the kneel and BLM and you are buying from those companies Now!!
@@jaylacy9912it's call an investment for a reason. You can't just keep losing money. They may support BLM right now but it's starting to really kill them in the ratings. People are tried of the Marxist bs movement and political bs in their sports. Most don't give a fuck what they think or how they feel. They're just a bunch of sanctimonious hypocritical assholes anyway for the most part.
Advertisers spend money because of the access to the millions of fans. You lose the fans, advertiser's will start to pull out. You can only throw away so much money and not get anything in return for so long. The fans and ratings are the key. If no one is watching. It will die. Remember people invest to gain something in return. You can't keep losing and expect it to last. Many of these idiot's are doing it because they believe it's a path to beat Trump. The reality of the situation is, it only guarantees another 4 years of Trump. So many will continue to lose money like fools until the election but it won't continue long after that.
Nobody asked you to "speak for all of us" Lebron. You're a guy that thinks he's an intellectual, but hasn't come to the realization that you're an intellectual lightweight.
His intellect has no weight.
And Trump is no Einstein either
Truth Bearer So true so true. Einstein was a level that 4 genius. Trump is only a level 3 genius.
No even lightweight, just uneducated on his history. Have you ever seen the Jewish community place symbols throughout America and abroad representing them? As of 2012 the Jewish community received 89 Billion Dollars in reparations, what have the Black Community received 0 Dollars.
To be fair to LeBron, most people overestimate their own intelligence. I personally consider myself to be above average but something as simple as my vehicle having a problem is a stark reminder of my own ignorance.
I was cleaning my septic tank and what did I see?? A bunch of lebron's looking at me...
Don’t know how common my story is, but went from huge NBA fan to hating even hearing about it pretty quickly. The worst people on earth work in the NBA.
Similar story, but a lot of those people are in govt positions and Congress.
I play basketball regularly love it, it turned into my favorite sport to play after i couldn't play football any more. I have watched the NBA playoffs and most regular seasons since the early 2000s after watching the first two games of the restart i have decided to not tune in a bunch of uneducated uniformed premadona's. I don't quit watching ESPN on youtube and undisputed. I don't want my sports and politics mixed at all.
Boycott the NBA!!!
I stopped watching all sports,movies and TV for about 12 years, 2000-2012, with now only casual interest.The trend of thug ball was becoming apparent. I am so glad I did. Now days me looking at sports scores is like studying the Dow Jones. I am not missing anything.
Them and the National Felons League
Over 30 million on unemployment...I don't care what James' politics are. He's just mad he'll NEVER be the G.O.A.T. Why is the NBA, MLB, and the NFL allowed to have a jobs, but those 30 million can't?
Professional athletes aren’t “allowed” to have jobs. They have a skill set that generates massive revenue, so they are compensated accordingly. “Allowed” has nothing to do with it. Aren’t we all ardent supporters of Capitalism??
Do you think the government forcing business to stay closed is capitalism?
Luis Casco “a skill set that generates massive revenue”, as long as people engage with the sport. If the sport keeps losing fans then the revenue drops. Without that massive revenue these athletes will not have their jobs, regardless of their skill set. The NBA - like every other business - sells a product. That product is the players and their skill set. If people do not want to buy that product anymore, then the NBA cannot make money. No money, no jobs. These athletes are where they are because of the fans willingness to consume the product. Once the fans stop consuming, the jobs disappear. That is what the majority of them do not understand.
A small group of individuals picking winners and losers is not Capitalism. Capitalism is based off individuals deciding for themselves want they need and want. It shouldn’t be made for them.
@Lost1 yes they are
I've been a Lakers fan since I was 8 years old. I remember watching the 84 Finals as a young kid and would stay up until 1 in the morning to watch their games while living on the east coast. But I'm done with this team until LeBron is gone. I'm sick of everything being politicized. I don't watch the game to hear athletes opinions. I watch as an escape. LeBron is entitled to his opinion as an American but I don't have to listen to it. Bye.
Martin ONeal Well said!!
Those were the Years that BUILT the NBA of today! Some really CLASSIC Team Battles between the Celtics, Pistons, Lakers, with the Rockets and Trailblazers making solid challenges too. Then Michael Jordan showed up right towards the end of the 80's to dominate, yet show Class that we RARELY see in the NBA players of today!
Classic NBA and Classy NBA is all but GONE!
Martin thanks for keeping it real! Me too
I don't care if Trump watches either. All I know is I'm not watching. I also know alot of other people aren't watching either. Bye, Bye, NBA.
Lebron has made himself the spokesman for the NBA. Not sure he should be insulting Trump or Trump supporters. He’s out of line.
@@MrJamberee I agree he is way out of line. I know it's people like him that make me appreciate President Trump even more. So keep talking Lebron. You are amusing & laughable.
See ya Joel!
@Big Wheel Maga hats are MADE IN CHINA
MAGA hats are MADE IN CHINA. idiots
Why would Lebron James care, he’s earned his money, not thinking about future generations that want to make a career. I thought sport was a place to enjoy and relax!
Nor is he thinking of how China views the world and the future, world where his own children, grandchildren and great grandchild will live. They make no bones about their goal as Economic superpower and taking down the US -- having the US at their mercy so they never have to answer to any country on how they rule . And NBA is just part of that process, doing what they want. This is not conspiracy theory but a real directive, just watch Chinese conferences and the way they steal tech - and such, it's part of bigger take over. But greedy US people and companies don't care - it's about the money.
That thinking is so 2000
I agree China is the interest behind this what else can it be? We all get on black white olive whatever the colour, all of a sudden people need to feel guilty, guilty about what? I for one have had it with BLM or any other movement that seeks to divide us!
Even Jordan knew “Republicans buy sneakers too.”
Lebron just needs to shut up...
I used to like james but now the more he talks the less I like him. He just comes off racist millionaire, who talks like he lives in the hood. Because you were given a unique gift from God doesn't mean you are in infallible.
@@dangreene9846 I agree, Lebron is a fake revolutionary, and a fraud of an athlete, if Nike stop sponsoring him, I bet he will shut up and dribble, its easy to speak about Donald Trump if you have a company like Nike backing you up.. Is an equivalent to a person to talking shit knowing you have 10 dudes or more to back you up, even if you are not a so called tough guy.
...and dribble?
@Sedrick Smith lmao. thank you. thank you
@@raymondsmith2040 Beat me to it! 😁😆🤣🤣🤣
Lebron is such a drama queen
I don't watch sports because of the kneeling! Been going on for a few years now. Tired of sports being politicized.
My kids and I play catch in the yard, hockey in the street, and actually took down the basketball hoop.
I am protesting by not giving basketball a chance in my home.
Lol you can still play just don't watch the games? 🤔
Imagine being lectured by a guy who only finished high school because of his athletic ability.
BOOM!. Such a direct simple truth

@@twongreen9968 u need professional help (not a joke)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All he needed to know to graduate was " Shoot the ball muh' fuh' , shoot the ball !
I guess Labron won’t mind renegotiating his contract since he is causing half the fans to stop watching.
Exactly! He would care if his money was on the line
He’s a hypocrite by not speaking out against China
Lol I'm a coin and card dealer and I was wondering why everyone is dumping the LeBron merchandise and memorabilia on eBay and auction sites and for crazy low prices ,now I know people are burnt out with the political bullshit in the sporting system, good time to get the merchandise even though it might be worthless one day
They don’t care about American viewers, Chinese viewership means more to the NBA
Tennis shoes .. that's what it's really about. Lying hypocrites
And China hates black people
BRENNAN WHITTY China is only 10% of NBA revenue. 90% pay cut coming
SpectrumVans do you have a source?
BRENNAN WHITTY Google percentage of revenue the NBA gets from china.
Lebron seems to prove on the daily that basketball IQ doesn't translate to personal IQ.
Agree! More like intellectual IQ
He has a low basketball IQ though so I would say it's pretty equal
"Republicans buy sneakers, too."
Michael Jordan
Lebron and the rest of the NBA should move to China. I wont miss them
I'll help them pack!
Exactly, you will love the Chinese and their culture. Renounce your citizenship too, so you won't be able to come back.
Labron James needs to shut his mouth. He needs to realize that he’s not Michel Jordan and he’s still just a citizen. He needs to show respect to the president. Ur absolutely right on all accounts.!!!😎🇺🇸✌️
floyd delancy I don’t think you have the ability to comprehend what’s going on and probably never will. I’ll pray for you
Michael Jordan is also just a citizen. Sure, he's filthy rich... who got rich doing the same thing Lebron is doing minus the woke politics. Jordan is smart enough to keep his politics to himself. He's a businessman first and foremost. Lebron? He's a high school educated athlete.
So michael jordan isnt a citizen?
@floyd delancy What's the name of these white elites he's helping? Who are the KKK members you can tell me about? I need names of the people you claim he is helping. Should be easy for you tell me right. What equality don't you have? Give me examples & then give me examples of how Trump's holding the black community down. All simple stuff for you to explain right.
Only good thing about all of this is now we all see who the real reporters/journalists are
Remember when we thought Dennis Rodman was crazy?
I've been watching the nba since the mid 70's, I was about 10. I have watched 0 games this year, including before the shutdown. I'm tired of the politics bro, sick of it. I'm done for now, but if this is going to be the norm for them, I'm done for good. Thanks for covering this!
I agree, it’s so sad what has happened here, there’s no room for politics in sports, I hate that they are trying to separate whites and blacks, we are Americans color doesn’t matter,
Yup. I started watching the NBA before Malone was traded to the Sixers. Remember that? Most fans today are not old enough to remember that. Started to lose interest after Jordan left, but kept watching. The last several years I have watched fewer games every year. The NBA being hush on China lost me. At this point when LeBronda opens his mouth it just validates my choice. The league lost it's way years ago. Before the Beijing Olympics somewhere.
When the Chinese matsers of the NBA payers say jump, NBA players say "How high?"
It disgusts me how much money their getting off the backs of child labors and then cry about how the black man is being oppressed
I hope everyone takes a stand and quits watching the NBA.
Weekend Hobby22 what about the millions of international fans supporting the NBA who don’t give a shit about American politics, you really think they care enough to stop watching the NBA?
Cynthetic Gaming let it become China oops I mean someone else’s league then. The bigger issue is compliance, not revenue. Let them exist and serve a (sh1t) product if they want, but let those of us who want no part of that to turn out backs on it and become indifferent to its fate.
I've never watched that crap . And now I will never watch the NFL either .
I dont watch nba again after jordan left its borrowing an really cant stand lebron
@Cynthetic Gaming I'm from the UK. I've watched NBA for years but I'll never watch again after this year.
Labomb is an over paid voice of the late nba.He high school education doesn't give the right to speak about subjects he has no knowledge of.
He is fortunate enough that he has already made his white man's money. I don't believe he has left anything for the players in waiting.
To say what he says surely can't be what all players believe.
Hate to see one man destroy what it took Magic, bird,and the rest of the old school players developed.
They lost me because of China, this just put the nail in the coffin.
Lol yeah right 😂 80% of you belongings are made in China
When did it become acceptable for businesses to allow employees to insult and drive away potential customers?
colten53 I’ve been thinking the same thing for years. How can these billionaire owners of these sports teams allow their employees to sabotage their investments, and also, are they blind to the backlash that’s going on?
He’s also a guy who forgot how to TIP. He stiffs every where he goes in Vegas. This generation of NBA players are the worst tippers.
He looks like a cheap bastard.
NBA players are historically the worst tippers. Not surprised at all that LeBron is continuing the tradition.
He shows his arrogance and selfishness, Hes financially set for life, he doesn't care about anyone else.
You sure cause last I checked he opened up a school and has donated to different charities

Same here, I was a fan for 23 years of the NBA. I didn't miss it when it went away, once they started going full woke mode, I said I'm done and I haven't watched one game. Don't even look at highlights. Adios NBA.
College sports is where it's at
Having only 2 million people watching the NBA, is really poor, when people acknowledge that the United States population is about 350 million.
6 million people watched Tom Brady and Peyton Manning hit golf balls into the woods. So yeah politics is killing the nba

Lebron was my hero, now to me he's a zero. Done with sports. They can keep there politics to themselves
Watched him since high school, and always cheered him on where ever he went. Guess since I'm white, and we all are racist according to him. And only BLM matters to him. Not quite the hero I had in mind. He once cared about his community, and helped them. Now all he promotes is hate and racism. All lives matter, but now to me not his.
I used to be a big NBA fan until about ten years ago when it seemed like the entire league became the prostitute to King China's ego. It became a reality show instead of a sport. They certainly have not done anything to encourage me to come back and I will never come back until they denounce the CCP.

Life long laker fan. Can’t stand lebron now. The NBA has signed its own death warrant. They have forever lost me as a fan as well as millions of others I’m sure.
The NBA does social justice messages: I change the channel, clean the house, detail my car, or do yard work. I used to watch from way back in the 70's. Back then, I used to watch Pistol Pete play H.O.R.S.E at halftime and then go outside and practice his moves outside on my basket. Favorite players back then, Pistol, Bill Walton, David Thompson, Paul Westphal, Dr. J, George Gervin, Ernie D., Kevin Porter, George McGinnis, Big E., Bob Dandridge, Chamberlain, Gail Goodrich, Jerrry West, among others. Good luck NBA,. I am no longer a fan. NFL also. They kneel, I turn it off and do something else.
Well said. I was a 76ers fan. Maurice Cheeks, Andrew Toney, Malone, Bobby Jones and the incomparable Dr.J. That was then. Now I no longer follow NBA, NFL, or MLB. After they blatantly disrespect all TRUMP supporters, how could you follow pro sports. NOT ME AND MY FAMILY and FRIENDS.

That's why he was more friendly with the conservatives even though he leaned towards communnism maybe due to the economic module being discriminatory to black in the 60s. Conservative ideas are good for our black people.
