NBA star LeBron James says that the National Football League owes Colin Kaepernick a full, official apology.
In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek released on Thursday, James said that the NFL needs to issue that apology to prove the league is “listening” to the players.
James took aim at the NFL after being asked about the “I Can’t Breathe” he and other NBA players had been wearing during warmups.
“As far as the NFL, I’m not in those locker rooms, I’m not with those guys, but I do understand that an apology — I have not heard a true, official apology to Colin Kaepernick on what he was going through and what he was trying to tell the NFL and tell the world about why he was kneeling when he was doing that as a San Francisco 49er,” James said. “I just see that to still be wrong. Now they are listening some, but I still think we have not heard that official apology to a man who basically sacrificed everything for the better of this world.”

How sad that some elevated this ilk because they can bounce or catch a ball.

“We apologize for allowing the NFL’s racist Defensive Coordinators to totally figure our Mr. Kappernick’s limited bag of tricks, so that he led the 49ers to a 1-10 record as his stats collapsed and he was benched. We promise to give Mr. Kappernick a 2-second head start before defenses can move after he snaps so he won’t suck so bad on the future.”
He can demand in one hand.......................
Maybe you, LeBron, need to apologize to everyone for NOT getting an education....
I don’t apologize to anyone one, no matter what color their skin, if they take a knee during the anthem. In fact I have nothing but disdain for them.
Give the guy a pass
Please let the NBA cancel the remainder of their 2019-20 season just so LeBron can’t squeak in a highly tainted NBA title to his resume. I just want him to experience the frustration of having held the NBA hostage to force the Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers, only to lose out on any championship possibility because of COVID-19. Let him bitch about it, while millions lose their jobs, including many small business owners who will end up closing for good.
Hey, they better do what he says. He’s a big important basketball player. [/s]
i predict major kicback on this crap
only gonna take so much
Your talking about Colin Kaepernick.
If he could pass he would have a job already.
Wow. Can you imagine that if this dummy went to college, he’d be even more stupid. Scary thought.
ZERO.
That’s because the NBA had their own “national anthem controversy” back in the 1990s, and the NBA players’ union quickly caved on that one and agreed to stand respectfully for the national anthem.
So this jabbering nitwit has to criticize the NFL because he’s been selling out on this issue for his entire career.
Colon, we are sorry you are a ego-centric dumb-ass - NFL
Double entendre ....
He can’t pass the salt and pepper at Thanksgiving dinner without being intercepted...
