In 2004, when LeBron James was participating in his career-first Olympics, little did he know he would achieve a wonderous honor 2 decades later. Yes, that’s right. The “kid from Akron” was chosen to be the official male flag bearer, representing all Americans in Friday’s opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics.
His fellow U.S. Olympians picked him for the honor of leading a 592-player contingent. With the honor bestowed upon him, King James became the third basketball player to do so. In fact, he’s the first men’s basketball player to carry the US red and blue colors at the opening ceremony.

Nope, he needs to repent in front of Americans, sing the national anthem at one of his games. Not carry the flag after dissing us, in front of a crowd that will cheer him for what he did.

I’d really like to hear what Lebron has to say about the statistics of urban American Black culture.

That racist’s idea of “healing” would be something like:
“America is divided and cannot truly heal until Donald Trump and all of his supporters are dead!”
The loudest cheers for this stooge will come from the NBC broadcast booth.
