LeBron James on Trump Refusing to Watch NBA Games: ‘We Could Care Less’
Breitbart ^ | 5 Aug 2020 | DYLAN GWINN

Posted on 08/16/2020 6:40:19 PM PDT by conservative98

While it is likely that NBA superstar LeBron James meant to say “we couldn’t care less” about President Trump saying he refuses to watch the NBA due to the league becoming a relentless social justice spectacle. Nonetheless, James made it clear that the president’s attention to the games is not a concern for him.

In a Wednesday appearance on Fox & Friends, Trump voiced his displeasure with the league over their embrace of anthem protests and Black Lives Matter, and made it clear that their behavior was “unacceptable” to him.

“I think it’s disgraceful,” Trump said. “We worked with the NBA, we worked with them very hard trying to get them open. I was pushing to get them open, and then I see everybody kneeling during the anthem. It’s not acceptable to me.

James responded to Trump on Wednesday night.

“The game will go on without his eyes on it. I can sit here and speak for all of us that love the game of basketball – we could care less,” LeBron stated.

Its not that Trump isn't watching, its that everyone else isn't watching.

Screw the NBA, the NFL and especially ESPN.

I could care less about Lebron James. We need a President but we sure as hell don’t need a overpriced primadonna who does nothing to entertain or justify his salary.

What a loser . . . who with any sense will support any professional sport until they turn from their wicked ways!

I used to watch the NBA but won’t be watching going forward. They don’t even have a clue what killed George Floyd. Chauvin’s knee on his throat didn’t help but how much Fetenyl did he have in his system?

How are their ratings? I guess he thinks this tantrum against Trump will bring in more viewers?
