President Donald Trump spent some time during one of his final campaign rallies talking about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
The President has had a contentious relationship with the NBA and its various players for some time now, and it will no doubt get even more heated after what transpired on Monday.

Trump spoke the plain truth.....
“How about basketball?” President Trump said.
“How about Lebron? I felt badly for LeBron. I felt very badly. Down 71% and that’s for their championship — I didn’t watch one shot. I get bored. … You know why? When they don’t respect our country, when they don’t respect our flag, nobody wants to watch. Nobody!”
I didn’t watch a shot either and feel the same as Trump. It goes for all sports.
What kind of “Change” does this Lebaron guy actually want?? Does he advocate for anything other than More Gubmint Programs to keep blacks on the Plantation??
Truth!
Trump needs to lay off LaBraun. He helped get him re-elected, without knowing it. The Lakers have won 17 championships, 6 of them in Presidential election years. A republican has won in all of them
1952 - Eisenhower
1972 - Nixon
1980 - Reagan
1988 - Bush Sr.
2000 - Bush Jr.
And now 2020, wanna guess?
Did Lebron James really think Democrats were showing up at his games....he basically told 90% of his fans they were racist idiots!!!
I'm done with all professional sports. I only watch Alabama football now
Roll Tide
Nothing in this world is uglier and more contemptible than a lack of gratitude... These athletes and actors and rock stars and teleprompter readers should be the most grateful for the country they live in.
Trump is right. A couple of years after they knock off the politics, I may watch again. Maybe.....
WINNING!!
How can anyone that loves this country subscribe to any professional sports channel?
College Sports? University is the breeding ground of all the bad ideas.
If we really want to defund communism we need to defund higher education.
Give up all televised sports to defeat the deep state.
Why are you blog pimping this and clickbaiting it? You didn’t write it, blog pimp! You don’t own the damn words!

President Donald Trump spent some time during one of his final campaign rallies talking about Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
The President has had a contentious relationship with the NBA and its various players for some time now, and it will no doubt get even more heated after what transpired on Monday.
President Trump began by bashing the NBA’s very highly-publicized ratings woes, but he was interrupted by the crowd, who began chanting “LeBron James sucks” over and over.
“How about basketball?” President Trump said.
“How about Lebron? I felt badly for LeBron. I felt very badly. Down 71% and that’s for their championship — I didn’t watch one shot. I get bored. … You know why? When they don’t respect our country, when they don’t respect our flag, nobody wants to watch. Nobody!”

President Trump and James have gone back and forth a lot over the past couple of years. James was recently asked about that during an interview.
“I don’t go back and forth with anybody,” he said.
“And I damn sure won’t go back and forth with that guy. But we want better, we want change in our community. We always talk about, ‘We want change,’ and now we have the opportunity to do that.”

President Trump, for his part, acknowledges James is a tremendous basketball talent. He just doesn’t appear to be a particularly big fan of him beyond that.
“He’s a great basketball player, but people don’t want to see a guy that’s that way,” he said. “They don’t want to see that. … He’s a hater.”
The President did not stop there, though.

“You don’t want to sit down, watch a basketball game, and then watch somebody that hates your guts, okay.”
James, for what it is worth, has repeatedly indicated that he doesn’t care if President Trump watches the NBA or not.

“You trying to make me laugh right now?” he said at the time.
“I appreciate that. I really don’t think the basketball community are sad about losing his viewership, him viewing the game. And that’s all I got to say.”
Fortunately for all parties involved, this situation will end one way or the other after this week’s election.
Either President Trump will win and have four more years, or he won’t and everyone will move on. But the incessant campaigning and politics seeping into sports will hopefully become less common.
Le Bron is black.
What he wants is irrelevant. He is told what to do and say by his coaches and does it
Auburn players and coaches also held their own march, but the fake media ignored it.
I bet your Gators participated in their own March, or something similar.
Which is why I’m boycotting this season.
