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.”

Never seen someone worth 440 million be so worthless. He owes it all to the steroids his mom gave him as a kid. Definitely worth the balding and adult acne. If only Trayvon's parents directed him to sports instead of letting him rob, attack people, sell lean, and brandish guns on facebook. Maybe he'd be alive and on the moon like the dindu good boy the media portrayed him to be.
