Oh, hey Lebron, you do know some of those NFL/NBA ”slavemaster” owners who you hate are are in fact wealthy Jewish people right?

Lebron James, the gift that keeps on giving.

Someone told Lebron he had a lotta money in the bank. So he gotta big head and thinks he's someone important. I still wouldn't pay $12 to see him dribble a ball down a basketball court.

First the slave comments followed by the Jew comment. And so many of today's youth look up to and admire this fool.

This disgraceful antisemite. And a racist. What a disgrace. It's fitting that he endorsed Hillary.

Then why not say experience? I agree that people experience things in different ways, but when people start saying he’s speaking his truth, they’re saying that everyone has their own truth when that’s not right.

Why should he? He's not doing well?

A good employer values the input of its employees. The employer might have the final say, but they should be listening to concerns or they're going to have a hard time doing well.
Wow, just wow.

That's what the NFLPA is for.

Of course NFL players are more expendable. Deal with it -- it's the free market at work and these guys make a lot more money than they ever did in the past. Don't like it -- find something else to do.
True one can make a racist statement and not be racist. Granted it depends on the statement.

My employer doesn’t value my input, or that of my coworkers. Hmm.
I don’t think my employer is unique in that respect.

I don't believe he wants sympathy more than acknowledgment. Everyone is talking about it so he is using his platform.
