Especially when there is a man kicking a woman in the head right next to you. You think that dude isn't going to start kicking you in the head as soon as you go to tackle the girl? 😆

Joe Biden is a role model for many, let that sink in.
You said repeatedly Lebron does what benefits him. Which is a bizarre point given his generosity and charitable ways. You did admit to his charitable ways. So you are kind of all over the place.
Only because you aren't trying to understand what I'm saying.
Use of force says you go 1 higher. They go fists, you go night stick/Taser, they go deadly-incapacitating weapon you firearm. LEO are there to Protect and Serve. Definitely qualifies as protecting the other girls life. Lebron was a fool to make a judgement without knowledge.
You asked why anyone would alienate anyone at all if they were concerned about their bottom line. We can both agree that FOX News is almost entirely focused on their bottom line. Why would they alienate liberals?
Like, I’m genuinely wondering why you think FOX (and CNN) still does it if they are bottom line focused.
My theory is that FOX makes more money pandering to their base than they think they would telling unbiased news. Would you agree with that?
I think Lebron just doesn’t like when black people are shot by police officers. Sometimes his views are more justified than other times. Is there some degree of marketing in everything he does? Yeah. But I don’t think he talks about what he views as injustice just to to appease his liberal fans. That wouldn’t make a lot of sense. It seems like he has genuine feelings on the subject, which he shares.
Why does he speak out about violence among and against black Americans? Probably because he’s a black American. Why doesn’t he speak out against violence in China? Probably because Nike makes and sells lots of shoes there and he’s also not Chinese and not living in China.
I don’t like Lebron. I don’t think he was right to post what he did about the officer in this shooting. I also don’t think he’s up to some nefarious plot to spread propaganda or hate.

Did he speak out against Ma’Khia Bryant and her father for the violence they were committing against black americans? I missed it if so.
Colin Kaepernick triggered conservatives more than any athlete in recent history. How bad was that for his merchandise sales?
Colin Kaepernick Tops Jersey Sales In NFL
Colin Kaepernick now has the top selling jersey in the NFL despite the fact that he is listed as the backup quarterback as of September 6, 2016.
www.forbes.com
“Colin Kapernick is not even listed as the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers as of September 6, but there is no player in the National Football League selling more jerseys than the backup QB.”
Not every athlete is going to be okay alienating people, but that doesn’t mean that alienating one group of people while drumming up support from another is inherently bad for their bottom line. That’s literally the business model that FOX and CNN seem to use. It doesn’t matter to FOX if they piss off liberals because they in turn please their base.
Is your stance that there aren’t multiple ways of brand management?
No, I don’t think he did.
What point are you making? That he selectively applies his moral compass? Because that’s just a thing all humans do. Every single one of us.
I think everybody is a little racist. I think he’s a little racist, I think you’re a little racist, I think I’m a little racist.
‘A lot racist’ is when it matters (to me). I don’t think he’s a lot racist.
Really off topic but just decided to bite the bullet and order this for my birthday. I’m stoked. Can’t wait for it to get here and start BBQing. Haven’t had good NC BBQ in years (Eastern NC. Not Western style because I’m not a heathen).
So why is he tired of black people being killed by police and not tired of people being killed by police?
I think I missed it. I actually like both, but Eastern is what I grew up on and prefer.
I have never heard LeBron say a word about black on black crime (a MUCH, MUCH bigger issue)
Instead he has to pick apart situations where most of the time, at the very least, its not a black and white situation to begin with.
He's a total clown. Its nice to see the sports media, including quite a few black reporters, call him out for his hypocrisy and bullshit.

Is that why he only has something to say when he can blame White people?
Some deal with negative equity different.
But it’s not all about race. It’s about wealth. If you can afford a lawyer, You are likely to get a lesser sentence esp on misdemeanors.
But it’s not just all about black and white, or race. There are plenty of black people that are part of the judicial system, it’s prejudiced against poor people, regardless of their skin color.
2019, 200 +/- black people killed by police, 9 unarmed, 1 where the cops were charged. 7,000 black people killed by other black people.
We have a police problem in this country.
"It's ok if we do it to ourselves, it's a problem when others do it to us".
Pretty close?
Pretty close?
This is a fair rebuttal, I read that article last year. But the point is that it isn't echoed by the people with a platform. The people with a platform use it to propagate the false narrative that white police are hunting black people in the streets.
I thought he was blaming police officers..
And if he decides only to speak up when white officers kill black people, is that bad?

If you speak up about one injustice, are you required to speak up about all injustice? There’s a lot of injustice in this world. It seems like speaking against all of it in every instance every day would be pretty time consuming.
Everytime a black man shoots a white man or an Asian person or another black man, does he have to say that’s bad?
