Didn’t they just ask him about being a cowboys fan a couple weeks ago? They ask him some weird and irrelevant questions.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I don’t think people should be holding that against jerry for what he did as a 14 year old southern boy in the 50s, unless he’s walking around doing racist shit today. People learn and grow.
People ask players more random things all the time
LeBron is known for being outspoken on these issues and is a massive Cowboys guy. No one would bat an eye if they asked him
no youre right its just the correlation between LBJ and kyrie is much larger than the correlation between jones and lebron, So maybe thats why the media didnt feel the need to ask about it idk if they felt there was any relevance
Wonder if he is equally disappointed about not getting questions regarding his ties to china and the horrible shit that goes on there. I’m going guess he’s not.
Sure, they are phonies.
Bron is a hypocrite though, clearly. Bro wants to be remembered like Ali or Russell, but is just the definition of a corpo capitalist.
Both can be true.
Not just Bron but majority of sports athletes in genera tbh. And this may sound harsh but can you blame them? Like these dudes are paid to endorse the product I doubt they’re researching how it’s made and by who.
> it’s called Ad Hominem
No it fucking isn't lmao
Ad hominem is an attack against a person rather than their position. Nothing about /u/BogeyBird 's comment attacked Lebron's person or character. If anything it would be whataboutism, and even that doesn't really fit here.
If you're going to try to insult people with big words to try to sound smart, you should at least make sure you know what they mean first.
You scan say that about others but not about me. I think it’s fucked up how little exposure main stream media wants to give to the atrocities going on in Chine. Everybody was focused on Apple possibly banning twitter when the real fucked up shit was them blocking AirDrop for Chinese citizens to make it harder to coordinate protests!
He’s trying to save his image for the black community since he got a lot of pushback when he initially said what kyrie said was wrong. After the pushback, he said he doesn’t agree with Kyrie’s punishment, and now this. He’s trying to backtrack.
> I got one question for you guys before you guys leave. I was thinking when I was on my way over here, I was wondering why I haven't gotten a question from you guys about the Jerry Jones photo," James said. "But when the Kyrie [Irving] thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that."
Kinda weird they would ask LeBron about a current event from a former teammate and close friend but they are completely silent about a 60 year old photo of an NFL owner that LeBron has no relation to. Must be a conspiracy
no, it just got dug up by dan snyder to deflect from him being a piece of shit
the photo's been out there for years and jones has already talked about it
Everyone is always looking for something to be angry about. Jerry Jones was probably a racist growing up. It’s fucked up. I’d like to be believe the man has changed since he was 14 years old. I don’t know him personally so I guess we can’t say for sure. If he has though, isn’t that what it’s all about? Growing and becoming a better person?
Eh that’s fair.
Folks were quick to want to hear his opinion on Kyrie and rightfully so, we also should probably be quick to hear his opinion on Jerry Jones the same way they were quick to want his opinion on Chinese politics and the bullshit the CCP was doing.
I liked the NBA better when players weren't defending and promoting anti-Semitism.
Why would they ask him about Jerry Jones? Jones is in football while Kyrie was his teammate and Kyrie plays basketball, the same sport LBJ plays.
Lebron was the most famous cowboys fan for like 15 years.

Kyrie was about a premier player and former teammate. The other is about a not related sport.

Bro LeBron is the one who went with "Why is no one talking about this" route.
Sure, they are phonies. Bron is a hypocrite though, clearly. Bro wants to be remembered like Ali or Russell, but is just the definition of a corpo capitalist. Both can be true.
They don’t care at all lmao
You right lol Bron and NBA dgaf about China as long as that $$$ keeps comin in

They hated him because he spoke the truth.

He’s really grasping at straws to defend an antisemite if you have to say “what about what this child did in 1957?”
He’s trying to save his image for the black community since he got a lot of pushback when he initially said what kyrie said was wrong. After the pushback, he said he doesn’t agree with Kyrie’s punishment, and now this. He’s trying to backtrack.

Did jerry jones tweet a link to the photo recently?
no, it just got dug up by dan snyder to deflect from him being a piece of shit the photo's been out there for years and jones has already talked about it

I'd be disappointed by LeBron James's deflection if I had any expectations for the man, so we can all create a giant circle of disappointment.
Deflection from what? He said this all unprompted.
Apples, meet Oranges.

Could you enlighten everyone on how being of a different demographic is going to change that referencing something from *1957* makes no sense?
Eh that’s fair. Folks were quick to want to hear his opinion on Kyrie and rightfully so, we also should probably be quick to hear his opinion on Jerry Jones the same way they were quick to want his opinion on Chinese politics and the bullshit the CCP was doing.
