Lebron James plays basketball for a living, He entered the NBA right out of high school. His teams have won multiple championships which has helped Lebron become a billionaire. Amazingly, he has about 50 million twitter followers, so you could consider him highly influential.
Lebron has not spoken out against the genocide going on in China against the Uyghur people. The Chinese government is committing horrendous human rights violations against these people. No comment from Lebron. Why–because China is the largest market for the NBA.
This week Lebron tweeted a picture of a police officer that was involved in the shooting of a 16 year old black woman. Lebron tweeted “you’re next” beside the image. So-50 million followers saw the image of the officer and the threat from James. That tweet was despicable. The details of that shooting have not been released although the videos clearly show the woman attacking another woman with a large knife.
LeBron James should be punished by the NBA and by twitter.
