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.”

Apologize for individual team decisions? Does Lebron forget history?
Kaep made himself radioactive with his BLM kneeling protest in front of the US Flag during the National Anthem...
Most Americans viewed this as an unpatriotic attack on the Flag and the USA...
Which team wanted to risk 80% of its fan base walking if they signed this guy?
In reality, this was a pure business decision, not racist...
or, “it’s not personal, it’s only business”...M. Corleone...
Now, Lebron and BLM want to shame the NFL into kneeling before Kaep...
Rodger Dodger Goodell putts from the Left side of the corporate green...would not be surprised with an NFL apology and a $25M/year job for Kaep as a backup in Seattle! Maybe, a free condo in the Nation of Chaz for his troubles as well! Free Moche Lattes for life from Starbucks!
Just another type of racial shakedown brewing here...”give em an inch...”; you know the rest...
Honestly do not care if the NFL gives in or not. They are already dead to me.
Why doesn't he let Kaputnik play...on HIS team?
Everyone wins! Except him, of course...
All those defensive backs who kept intercepting his passes need to do a little apologizing, too.
After all, they made him worthless, too.
everybody’s a dictator
apologize for what? its Mr. K. that must apologize. to his team. to his league. and to Americans everywhere for all his damned insults against us and our country
LeBron needs to check his micro aggressions and marginalization of others and get his new privilege in check.
LeBron James and Barack Hussein Obama.
Proof that “Idiocracy” was more prophetic than we feared.
LeBron is worth $450 million.
Not that it matters.
But actually, it kinda matters.

Don’t be surprised if the NFL grovels and begs forgiveness.
The owner of chik-fil-a will shine his nikes and kiss his a$$.
LeeBrainDead HaMezz can kiss my boney @$$. I quit watching the stinking NBA way back in the 1990s. The NFL at the first knee drop. The MLB a couple of years ago. College football is very near, as roundball did a couple of years or more ago. Me and sports are just about totally done. Been watching sports for nearly 65 years. I have had it with sports. I watch sports for ENTERTAINMENT!!! NOT TO HEAR THEIR STINKING CRAP POLITICAL VIEWS!!!! So, they can kiss my boney @$$ and all of them can go to hell!!!
If LaBron thinks his black brothers will fill the seats and pay his salary he’s off somewhere smoking a joint and living in goofy-land.
It’s a shame Lebron didn’t fly with Kobe.
LeBron should be dropped off in Hong Kong and forced to stay there for a month.
I demand Coin Kaepernick apologize to me for all the offensive things he did.
Ah, Lebron & Colin, the Millionaire Nike Slave-Labor Boy Wonders
We apologize to you for the mean way you have been treated by many of our fans.
However, we still respectfully decline to put you on an NFL roster as you suck at quarterbacking.
Respectfully,
National Football League
He Lebron! and the horse you road in on.
