Activists Want LeBron To Sit Out Games In Response To Tamir Rice Grand Jury Decision (LeBron Speaks)

[Youngdev]

It's not fair that they trying to strong arm this man in public.

Bron does alot and speaks up a lot. Tell them to

 

[KOohbt]

Lebron just showed you that he is indeed not socially conscious and also doesn't see himself as a black man in a black community. It's over. Stop looking to these celeb type guys they are weak as hell. The youth like those Missouri kids who had the balls and saw themselves as a part of the black community are those who we need to support financially and culturally. Those kids should have had a go fund me with a million in it by the end of the week. We are unorganized and it's sad. We asked lebron to exercise some power and he declined. End of that. The black middle and upper income are just to pathetic to get anything done.

so lets just say he sat out games? and made a public statement saying why he was sitting out games?

would these people come out in vocal and tangible support if he started facing legal repercussions from the NBA and his own team? his own sponsors and so on

some of the same dudes in this thread who are trying to knock him will just as easily be up in another thread laughing if he faces sanctions because for whatever reason bron gets people all in their feelings

Is this case even a candidate for appeal?

 

[NoMorePie]

Sit until Tamir Rice gets justice?

So they expect him to sit for the rest of the season, or something?

i didnt think lebron would be so unfamiliar with the tamir story...how could a black man rep cleveland and not know cleveland was letting white men get away with murdering black boys...

 

[Captain Crunch]

what do the Cavs have to do with the Cleveland PD? i understand hes the most powerful person in the state, but thats not a fair thing to ask of him

Cavs have an impact on local economics, a lot of bars opened because of Bron getting drafted. I could fully understand why Bron won't oblige to their request, but best believe the city would lose money if Bron sat out.

 

[Loose]

wow this is incredibly cowardly of lebron. like how the fukk don't he have all the facts so if lebron Jr got his brains blown out by the cops would he not have all the facts?

This is it for me. I find it really hard to believe that he didn't know more about this story. But maybe he didn't know.

Again... Kobe got blasted for his comments about Trayvon. I should expect no less for LeBron but it will get blwon over becuz it's LeBron.

Edit: I think it's petty of these "activist" to give such a ridiculous request to LeBron.

 

[NYC Rebel]

LeBron ain't sitting s*** out


n***as been getting the short end of the stick since they arrived here in chains, asking one man to boycott the racist society he thrives in is asking a dumb a** request


hypothetically if he did though he could help a potential shift in the conscious level among blacks, politically/legislative wise it would be utterly pointless​

Bingo. Why single out Lebron on what should be a collective movement of athletes?

 

[mastermind]

Yeah
I can't understand how Lebron has no idea if the facts since it happened in Ohio. Then again he a pro athlete and I don't expect any athlete to get it.

Even when Lebron has spoke out in the past, it's all been 100 feet above the surface.



Saying that fukk this dude for singling out Lebron to do something. Why don't he organize a boycott of all workers in Ohio?

 

[5StarElite]

They doing too much wit this one. They tryna get this nikka sued.

 

[TheNig]

Bingo. Why single out Lebron on what should be a collective movement?

Why not?

And I'm seriously asking becuz you were one the main ones to ride on Kobe for his comments. Why not single out the most "outspoken" black sports figure in America?

 

[NYC Rebel]

wow this is incredibly cowardly of lebron. like how the fukk don't he have all the facts so if lebron Jr got his brains blown out by the cops would he not have all the facts?

Bingo.

He's being intellectually dishonest as fukk

 

[PortCityProphet]

Can't ask people to do things you're not willing to do yourself. So unless the people who make this hashtag aren't going to work until the officers are charged than they should shut the fukk up with this

That's nonsense.
