I'm not defending anyone, I haven't even read this whole thread and I'm not going to. I knew where you were coming from without doing a lot of research, I assure you of that. I wish you well, hope you do well in life and no one gives you excuses not to achieve all you are capable of. If people would spend anywhere close to the amount of time they spend griping and blaming others trying to make something of them themselves they would be amazed at the results. And that has nothing to do with color.

Are you kidding?. Playing basketball well exempts you from ignorance? Good lord!

Not at all. There are plenty of ignorant athletes.

That said, LeBron is a very intelligent man. You may not agree with his message or his method, but that does not make him ignorant. I have my doubts about you though.

No but I found a golf ball with a logo on it of Donald Trump's face on top of a pile of shit with flies buzzing around. I have to admit it was pretty funny.
Lebron James is piece of shit though who has no business commenting on something he knows nothing about. He's an ignorant boob.

I'm no fan of LeBron's but to call him ignorant just makes you look silly. Just say you don't agree w/ what he has to say on this topic rather going the immature route w/ the name calling.

He is as immature as they make them on SportsHoopla.

LeBron may be some things but he's certainly not an ignorant noob like montalbon suggested. All he really needed to say was he disagreed w/ what LeBron said. Then again I usually laugh @ people that have the need to seriously call athletes names they either don't like or don't agree with.

Lol this is my main board and ff. The only 2 boards i post at frequently even in the off season. The other boards are seasonal for me. Would definitely get banned if i posted often on the politics board

I post here, the cfb and the Lakers board.

I venture into the PF once in a blue moon and always feel like a need a shower afterward.

You mean like Lebron did with Trump? :noidea:

Okay if you wanna go that route what about all the people Trump has attacked on social media? Or does he get some kinda free pass because he's the Prez-o-dent? I'd bet a large amount of money LeBron wouldn't have had anything to say if Trump didn't say something in the 1st place.

Which was also what Lebron needed to say rather than resorting to namecalling.

You seem to be giving Trump a free pass. Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Trump insulted women, African Americans, Mexicans & anyone that doesn't agree w/ his social media rants?

I don't recall him calling them names. I could be wrong because I don't follow Twitter. Lebron literally began his tweet with "U bum."

The point is, Lebron was just as guilty of being immature and resorting to namecalling as anyone else. He could have taken the high road and chose not to. He didn't.

He also ranted about the President being a role model to kids and how he was not being a good role model while seemingly not grasping that he and other star athletes are far more likely to be seen as role models than any President.

End of the day, there's plenty of stupid to go around on both sides in all of this.

So 2 wrongs make a right? Or are you giving Lebron a free pass?

Also, how about you find the post where I gave Trump a free pass?

Trump called NFL players sons of bitches. If that's not name calling what do you call it, a compliment?

Like I said, I didn't recall. I don't do twitter. He called them sons of bitches at some rally he had and I called him out for it and said that he needs to apologize for it.

So again, find the post where I gave him the free pass that you're giving to Lebron.

I guess you feel that 2 wrongs make a right.

I never once said you have given him a free pass. I said it seems like that's what you're doing.

Find a single post of mine where I have given LeBron a free pass. Did I say I agreed w/ what he did? Hell no I never said that. And it's only in your mind do you think I think 2 wrongs make a right.

Yet, all you had to do was see what I've posted in this very thread to know different.
