He's worth $440 million! Why don't the "rich black men" start their own league?

“In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality," James said. “And it’s like, ‘This is my team. You do what the f--- I tell y’all to do. Or we get rid of y’all.’ ”

The NBA and the NFL have had strikingly different approaches to player activism. In the NBA, James and others have worn T-shirts during warm-ups in recognition of victims of police violence with no repercussions from the league.

The NFL and its owners have faced “slave” comparisons numerous times over the past decade. In 2011, then-Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said that the league’s labor situation was like “modern-day slavery.”

Lebron is a moron. Always has been. Always will be. He's been treated special ever since they realized he could play basketball. He has no idea what he is talking about.

Not cool, you shouldn't joke about shit like that. Helicopters are very valuable.

Lol they might be valuable but I know an engineer that has to do with getting the helicopter made, and he says he would never ride in one.

[–] Burk48917 (11360) 3 years ago

I've been in a couple. Very comfortable ride, but I like the option of gliding if necessary.

[–] jewoogle (2269) 3 years ago

Like 75%+ of the company owners in the USA.

This guy is clueless. He is an EMPLOYEE, it would be nice, though shocking, if he would realise that.

All he needs to do is put up the pittance (millions) that his white slave owners gave him to put a ball in a hoop and buy an NBA team for him to run. Hire all the personnel he wants regardless of qualifications.

BTW, I saw a trained seal put a ball through a hoop and do so while jumping out of the water. The seal never missed...

All employers are really just Slave Masters.

These fuckers are fucking racist and insane.

Fuck them.

[–] SweetTooth43 (2047) 4 years ago

Just stay unemployed then. Uncle Joe will send you a Link card

What a dumb thing to say.

According to this logic anyone who is employed by an older white man is a slave?
