Don't care who James looks like. Another disrespectful pro athlete that is an uninformed liberal shooting off his mouth about our president. If he couldn't play basketball, would be doing minimum wage manual labor. Doubt if he finished high school.
.... are you on drugs?
Yeah that same guy who has spent over $40 million dollars out of his own pocket to build schools, rec centers , parks , scholarships and after school programs in Akron and all over Ohio . Ask people in the Akron Community what they think about Lebron . How much $$ has our "President " spent doing the same ?? Do a little research before you judge somebody you know nothing about . He makes more money in a quarter than all of us will make in a life time . Not bad for a "High School" drop out that millions of kids world wide look up to . Dumbest post of the week .
And that’s just WITHOUT mentioning his basketball accomplishments.
I see why you are mentioned by name on other sites.
You might not know it but you just made the perfect case for the private sector being able to fund our schools just fine without the government spending our tax dollars. Public education has been in the crapper long before Trump became president. Hell, even back when Trump was a Democrat, government run education was crap. It's just gotten worse lately at a much faster rate in the last 20 years.
So who’s cash is he just giving out????
He has "committed" $41 million from his foundation. Who's money was Hillary spending through her foundation?
I give LeBron credit. He is giving money and raising money for his community. That's admirable, even if he is a clueless liberal.
Actually it's 41 million and that just his scholarship program . So I guess sending 1,100 kids to college who would never have that opportunity makes him a real jerk ?? What a spoiled entitled athlete . Who needs rec centers , playgrounds and stuff like that ?? While our President spent his money building more Casinos and Country Clubs to pad his and his boy's pockets . Politics aside , it's a freaking sad state of affairs when an Athlete uses his status to help others and set a positive way example for kids and he gets lambasted because he doesn't agree what is going on in this country . He has that right just like everyone else . That doesn't take away from all the good things he has done off the court . Don't ever call him an " Entitled Athlete". He's freaking earned everything Dime that he's made . His daddy didn't hand him over a million dollar business .
Could you turn $1000 into $1,000,000? Because that's the equivalent of what Trump did. I just figured I'd keep it realistic with the $1,000 figure. It's actually more because Trump has a net worth of around $10 billion(could be less). He basically turned his dad's million dollars into several billion. If you can sneeze at that and not be impressed then good for you.
It's "actually" $41 million he has "committed" from his foundation, not out of his own pocket like you suggest. As of now, his foundation has taken in less than $3 million in it's lifetime. May or may not happen, based on future donations to the foundation. If it were out of his own pocket, he could most like write the check for it to happen tomorrow.
And I wasn't disputing the goodness of his deeds, but you are misinformed about his "out of pocket" contributions, and then you went political. Trump has donated $5.5 million of his own money out of his own pocket to his foundation, and raised almost $10 million from others to his foundation. He has also provided jobs for over 34,000 people thru his businesses.
And yes, LeBron surely can express his displeasure. But giving to charity doesn't mean everyone has to listen his criticism and accept it without comment. That's everyone else's right.
As for "daddy giving money", his daddy gave him a genetic gift that allows him to throw a ball through a hoop and make millions doing it. Just shows you how far the priorities are here in America. But the free market rules.
You do realize when Trump had a D beside his name the naacp was giving him awards right? So the only thing that changed about him was the party he claimed. It's funny watching libs
Not trying to get political . I could careless who is in the White House or what they do . Never voted and never will because nothing that happens in Washington will or has ever effected my life . Couldn't tell you who the governor is in the state I live and couldn't care less . Liberal , Conservative : To me they are all the same ilk . A politician is a politician and none of them give 2 cents about the rest of us . Way more worried about my Fantasy Football lineup then who is running congress . Just think it's a pretty low blow to take a shot at an Athlete who goes out of his way to help his community because of his political views . Honestly I don't know or care what his political position Is .
Yes, you absolutely were trying to get political with your statements about President Trump.
And it isn't a "low blow" to criticize anybody who inserts themselves into politics. Call the President names, people absolutely have the right to attack your behavior, no matter what you donate to charity.

I'd have tons of money if I filed bankruptcy 6 times and didn't pay contractors/monthly bills.
You should try it and tell us how it works out for you.
James made his money playing basketball and selling overpriced shoes to people who couldn't afford them. Trump has always made his money in real estate. I applaud James for using his wealth for the benefit of his community. However, a role model promoting the victimhood does not benefit the recipients of said donations but even hurts them. Money may give them a playground but poverty has never been cured by blindly throwing money at it. Kudos to James for his altruism.
Talking about the same guy that is building an empire with his business ventures and investments. When his playing days are over he will be a billionaire and the owner of a NBA franchise. Not bad for a young man that didn't attend college. Also he's given millions of dollars to send kids to college even though he didn't attend. I would say Lebron has done an admirable job of using his NBA platform to better the lives of others.
President Obama did not go around bragging that he could feel on women's private parts and get away with it. He also did not publicly pick on the handicapped and did not do many other idiotic things that 45 has done. If President Obama had said and done the things that 45 has done he would have been impeached by now. There's your crickets!

I couldn't tell you the difference between either political party or even what they stand for . I wouldn't vote for an idiot like Trump, but neither would I vote for a crook like Hillary either. They are all equally worthless in my book . All i know from a total impartial view is any President that has time to get in "Twitter" Wars with athletes and celebrities is not fit to be leader of the free world .?? I'll be honest I didn't give two farts about who won the election , but what I've seen from the guy who did win, it's a joke . It's actually pretty entertaining to watch , because it's like watching a chevy chase movie and waiting for the next dumb trip and fall . I would be saying the same thing about Hillary if she won and said and did all the same dumb $@&& t . I honestly I think that a True President should be above fighting on social media . You have more important stuff to worry about than what Lebron James or any other celebrity says about you . It's like the clown show at the circus .
But black people can't be successful in the world we've created for them. Its not fair.
Guess what? It's Lebron's country, too. He can do or say what he wants. Luckily for you, you are allowed to live here with him. Enjoy!
I don't care what Lebron has to say. I don't even know what he said to be honest.
I just don't understand how Lebron has had the success he's had since we all know black people cant be successful in this country.
No answer? You fight for a cause and you have no answers. Typical. Most of you don't even know what you're complaining about.
Keep fighting the good fight, Sulayman.
You and your side spend countless hours every year telling the country that a black man can't make it in this country...that we need to fix the system. And here you are celebrating the great Lebron James. Tell me, how did he make it if things are so unfair?
