LeBron James had nothing but scathing critiques for the National Football League during an episode of his show “The Shop” on HBO, in which the Los Angeles Lakers superstar contrasted the NFL and NBA’s treatment of their respective players. In his latest comment addressing what’s going on beyond the basketball court, James compared the NFL’s owners attitude toward their players to slave ownership while praising NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s handling of social issues in his league.

I had no idea slaves were paid millions. Here all these years I thought slavery was disgraceful but I was clearly wrong.

I wonder if LeBron also believes that the moon landing was a hoax.

Word. It’s a little known fact that’s been scrubbed from the history books that slave owners paid their slaves millions of dollars a year to work 3 hours a week for 20 weeks. With a “bye” week thrown in to add insult to injury.

Slave, huh? Try getting this in a normal job in the real world that is in addition to the millions they make in one year that is more than a 20 year career for most people:

LeBron James, he knows everything... that's why he didn't go to college, he didn't want to upstage the professors. I knew it was something like that, instead of him being a dumbass...😁

You dont pay slaves to play a child’s game for insane amounts of cash.

Cancel all the Christmas bonuses and break out the whip!

I thought “slave” meant you get no money for your work.

Where is this guy’s head.

Perpetual malcontents. If they only knew how much that makes people not sympathetic to their cause.

LeBron James. Never heard of him. Honestly. I don’t do NFL as they are all a bunch of whimps, and complain about treatment, kneeling. Try going to get a job at WalMart, then they can talk about enslavement. Everyone who goes to work for their salary, in some ways is a slave. Hope the climate of the culture improves in 2019..and people like this whoever James LeBron goes to Community College taught by some communists.

In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality,” James said. “And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the f— I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.’”

what I find most amusing is why so many uppity blacks ignore the FACT that the Democrat Party were and are the Slave Masters?? I guess you aren't allowed books while sitting on the porch.

Emancipate the slaves! Ban professional sports and allow former slaves full access to the jobs market that the rest of the citizenry enjoys.

“...James compared the NFL’s owners attitude toward their players to slave ownership ...”

He ought to know...he’s still on the democrat plantation and would make a helluva good overseer.

Multi-millionaire slaves who would be in prison if the slave owners hadn’t employed them.

It’s pretty amazing how the media treats LJ as some sort of great thinker and philosopher we all need to hear from, frequently.
