Former President Barack Obama has reportedly played a role in convincing LeBron James and other NBA players to resume the postseason after they boycotted it in protest of racial injustice. Obama spoke with James, National Basketball Players Association president Chris Paul, and other players in a conference call late on Wednesday night, after all NBA games were cancelled due to the boycott, the Athletic reported, citing sources. James had advocated for ending the NBA season entirely, and Obama reportedly told him and the other players that they could use the remaining games to advocate for the changes they want to see if they resumed playing.

Reason #782 to never watch 'pro' basketball again.
I love high school sports, but once the payments begin, so does the BS.

"Changes" that we will not make.
I've needed doctors, nurses, truck drivers, grocery (and liquor store) clerks, you name it.
Never needed a semi-literate point guard.

So, 6 foot 9 LeBron bent down to lend his ear to the Kenyan Fraud who sold the American bLACKS a colossal bill of goods during the con job referred to as his presidency. The fact that this hulking dribbler paid any attention to Hussein testifies to his political illiteracy.

Obama / Lebron! Wow!
Reminds me of Roosevelt / Churchill. Or maybe Grant / Sherman.
Abbott and Costello?

Now if he had just spent his 8 years as unquestioned leader of black America telling young black men not to resist arrest and to comply with the instructions of police, he might have done the country some good. Would certainly have saved a few young black lives,,,,, but he didn't......

Why does anyone CARE whether the "knee-JERK-kneelers" play or not? Their support for anti-American BLM disqualifies them today. If some folks DON'T have better things to do than watch over-paid prima donnas strut and posture to persuade you that BLM is A-OK, that's a shame. MY bet is that Community Organizer Barry, with a force of some 30,000 people (that's NOT a typo) at his nefarious disposal, may well be "helping" (with no paper trail) with these "peaceful protests." Barry has a vendetta against Trump for nixing the stupid Iran Nuke Deal that was supposed to enshrine Obama in history forever. No go, you perfidious, traitorous clown.

OK Go do your kneely thingy with Obama's blessing.
I know one thing for SURE. I don't kneel for the NBL. I don't kneel for the NFL. I don't kneel for even MLB. I kneel before God., who grants me certain inalienable rights and NOT watching you throw your silly ball around is one of them. Think instead of watching Le Bron throw a ball around I'll go play my piano.

Won't the height-gifted but mentally challenged feel silly when they play and nobody watches? If you score a three pointer and nobody is looking does it count and does it matter? Obama always had a talent for focusing on the insignificant.

LeBron, did you ever think about asking Obama why, in 8 years in office, he did NOTHING to help blacks?? But plenty to help illegal aliens and the mullahs in Iran. You are a good basketball player but not too bright, LeBron.

So He of the Creas'ed Trousers speaketh, and to his own personal cohort, the NBA, no less. They have heard from ''on high'' and are willing to do BHO's bidding. Again. Well, he always did like organizing his communities.

LeBron James – You’re a Coward.
How easy it must be for you to sit back in the safety of your palatial home and shout “Black Lives Matter,” “Whites scare me” which adds gasoline to the fires and furies that are hurting innocent people, destroying innocent lives, ruining once great cities.
How self-satisfying it must be for you to count your millions while receiving adulation from weak-spined athletes and coaches, sycophant sports analysts, commentators, writers, toadying politicians, bird-brained entertainment stars and the fawning media for championing an avowed Marxist racist organization (BLM) and screaming about a non-existing “systemic racism”
How brave you must feel in a TV studio, team locker room, or basketball court spouting your BLM bigotry instead of showing real courage by leading a march of your big, physically, strong, tough-talking, oh-so-brave athlete brothers through the streets of Chicago’s South Side and confronting the gang members and thugs who kill innocent Black people – you and your “friends” actually patrolling those streets and protecting the thousands of good, law-abiding, decent Black people who live in constant fear. But that would take real guts, wouldn’t it.
How cowardly you really are for, not once, wearing a hat that said “Two-year-old JoJo Malone’s Black Life Mattered.” You know, the little Black girl murdered by a Black killer. Nor did you demand a boycott of games, a national vigil to underscore the horror of dozens and dozens of innocent Black children who have been wounded, maimed, murdered by Blacks “gangstas.” I guess the destruction of those young, promising, hopeful lives must not matter to you since you haven’t raised your voice to protest those tragedies.
So, I guess as afar as your concerned –
To hell with the dead Black children. To hell with their grieving mom and dads and brothers and sisters and grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles. To hell with devoting your fame and fortune and influence to tirelessly working to stop the thousands of yearly black-on-black murders. Instead, you “rush to judgement”, rush to giving a “wink-and-a-nod” to “Burn down America” when a Black criminal is shot or killed by a cop. But to hell with JoJo Malone.
But I’m not surprised at your peculiar way of viewing what is decent and moral. Just look at how vocal and angry you (and your basketball brothers and coaches) got about the NBA’s right to play basketball in Communist China where Moslems (the Ughurs) are tortured, “re-educated”, used as slave labor. Where the communist government treats gay people like garbage. Where the communist government took away Hong Kong's freedom because communists don’t like people to be free.
Yet, you keep playing ball in China so you can keep raking in the “big bucks,” don’t you? I guess greed overrides truly caring about others and their dignity and safety and right to live free from harm – unless they’re BLM terrorists.
How sad.
Even sadder is, you’re a role model – especially to Black youth. But you’re a harmful role model.
A role model who inspires cowardice by your hypocrisy.
A role model who pretends to be deeply concerned about justice, freedom, people’s right to live without fear while you promote a Marxist, anti-White, violent racist organization.
Yes, LeBron, you could have been a wonderful role model. A symbol of and a catalyst for a better America for all Americans.
Instead, you’re helping to tear down America by symbolizing, supporting and promoting –
Systemic racism -- not of Blacks --but by Blacks.
As-well-as --
Systemic hypocrisy --
Systemic duplicity --
Systemic dishonesty --
Systemic violence.
But, worst of all, you’re promoting systemic cowardice – and cowards become bullies. And whether they’re stomping around our schoolyards, roaming our city streets, or sitting in our government offices – they become fascists who demand we live, think, say, believe what and how they tell us to -- or else.
Well, here’s a secret -- It doesn’t end well for bullies.
That being said --
Yes, Lebron, you are a king
The cowardly King of a population of cowards who, in actuality, are racist fascists.
Shame on you – and shame on them.

Obama's smarter. He knows the NBA thugs are further reinforcing the disgust of white (and growing numbers of black) voters with the whole BLM monologue. Told Lebron to shut and dribble, as Laura Ingraham had advised Lebron months ago.
As it appears no one is too interested in the crowd-deprived NBA games on TV anyway, the whole issue (and Lebron himself) aren't attracting too much interest.

Paraphrasing Obama: "You can't stir the pot when there are no TV cameras during a boycott. Besides, the media can't inflate your stories of pain and suffering under the whip of the white men if there are no games to suck the stupid people into watching, especially the stupid white people."

The NBA is already incurring billions of dollars in losses. Hopefully Obama convinced the drama queen that he may want to trot is ass out on the court and do what he gets paid to do if he wants to keep that cushy salary. If all he wants to do is advocate for a Marxist violent hate group it won’t last. We’re over it.

Did somebody say that blacks are 13% of the population. That will rapidly become the viewing audience for all MAJOR league sports. unless the looters have something better to do. Gonna be hard for Nike to make a profit when their stuff just gets stolen.

Oh great, look at the community organizer, community organizing. He never did learn that presidential thing; once a community organizer, always a community piece of garbage. If LeBron had a brain, he'd acknowledge obama as the unaccomplished loser that sane and honest people know that he is, but dumb basketball playing big mouth (right, not one comma) LeBron can't help what he refuses to know. Losers, both of them.

Is the Kenyan using his unearned money from Netflix to fund all kinds of insurrection and anarchy? Enquiring minds want to know. Why isn't the Justice Dept looking into BLM and Antifa sources of funding? So far all that's mentioned is big business being shaken down. I want corporate names.

Once a community organizer, always a community organizer. He just has a bigger community now.
If I had a decent Congresswoman, I would suggest they write a law to silence "former" presidents and lawmakers. But, she is part of the problem.
As for these overpaid prima donna's, I love these words "You're fired !"
