.. But should be completely ignored when he, in his obvious ignorance, begins to wax political, and even criticized for unethically opening his mouth about anything other than sports when a microphone is thrust in his face to talk about politics because and only because he's a sports star:
The highlights:
1. LeBron James is promoting racial tension by emotionally jumping to conclusions about current events when he is clueless about the associated facts.
2. James and other athletes unethically misuse their sports star status that garners them an over-sized voice to politically pander their position on politics and current events.
3. Sports stars like James are nearly always uneducated and ill-informed about current events and politics, and so they end up misinforming those who listen to them.
4. Thus sports stars most often error in their political presentations, and when they're speaking on race-relations, they end up being a bigger bigot than those they falsely accuse.
5. Sports stars don't cite valid information and statistics, they just mention a few anecdotal situations and then erroneously jump to false conclusions that mislead the public.
6. LeBron James jumps to anecdotal generalizations about the Black community that Black people would never want others to prejudice them with.
7. LeBron and sports stars end up riling up people with false presentations, and that causes increased civil unrest, people getting shot and killed, businesses looted, and increases poverty.
8. Lebron James out of ignorance egregiously makes unwarranted false suppositions about the mindset of the police, further contributing to the BLM conspiracy theory mass hysteria.
9. James is behaving like a bigot, generalizing about cops and White people and all, exactly the way people of Black communities don't want to be generalized themselves by White people.
10. Professional athletes need to stop talking about this stuff because they only make matters worse.
11. We should stop worshiping sports stars, as that sets us up to be deceived by them when they step away from their sport and step in front of the political microphone.
Yes, here's a former sports athlete who knows better than to jump to conclusions about current events and politics, and instead waits to gather more accurate information and process it intelligently to logically derive at conclusions and let's the law enforcement professionals present the matters.
If anyone knows other sports athletes it's him .. and his clear and accurate message about these sports stars is that sports stars are nearly always politically topically ignorant, thus they're spreading that ignorance and misinformation into the public political arena making terrible situations worse.
Sports Athletes Should Be Completely Ignored When They Rant Political
<Rest snipped for length>
Yes, entertainers should just entertain us.
That is their mission in life.
When they speak out about politics, they offend some of their fans and thus ruin the fantasy that we all have about them. (Just think of how many people idolize those guys & gals who throw a basketball through a hoop.)
For example, I lost my respect for that actress who plays in "Will and Grace" and that actress who played in the "Seinfeld" series. I don't want to know about their politics. I want to think that they are the people whose characters they play on TV. (To the best of my knowledge, the actors who played in "Friends" have so far kept their mouths shut on politics. So I can continue to laugh at their antics without being reminded of their real-life politics.)

They should know their place!
You hit the nail on the head!
And their place is a very lucrative one, indeed.
Have a nice new work week!
Ok, then start your correspondence to DJT, because that entertainer should definitely keep his mouth shut and we all continue to laugh at his attempt to be POTUS
Though I appreciate you making me the exception, I would advise against your obvious self-loathing, as that can contribute to mental illness and make you susceptible to be seduced by, you know .. conspiracy theory mass hysteria.I feel exactly the same way about 99% of anonymous online debate posters.
Here you make false statements about the messenger merely because you don't like the truth of the message, the message that LeBron James and other sports stars are ignorant and contribute to BLM's conspiracy theory mass hysteria .. which you politically support. :shock:Funny thing is the person making this argument is an ex-NFL player that constantly makes racists/non-educated political statements.
Nope, false.Fired from the Kansas City Star
Whatever you read from some slanted false rag or conjured yourself, here's the straight truth from a more reliable source.In 1994, Whitlock was hired by the Kansas City Star. The Scripps Howard Foundation awarded Whitlock its National Journalism Award for commentary on March 7, 2008. Whitlock was the first sportswriter to win the award and $10,000 prize. On August 16, 2010, the Kansas City Star announced Whitlock's departure from that paper.
The first time, yes .. because he dared to criticize management.Fired from ESPN
Again false.Fired from AOL Sports
Again, clearly false.Fired from Fox Sports
Whitlock decided to leave Fox Sports and accept Skipper's offer to return to ESPN
Absolutely false!Now is he signed up to some alt-right sports podcast?
:roll:What a loser.
Because he clearly and obviously tells the truth.Why should ANYONE listen to this former ex-NFL player?
Your glittering generality here is so ludicrous it's absurdly funny ..So we should listen to your ignorant opinion that we should not listen to other people's opinions. The best part is you do not even realize the glaring hypocrisy...

Absolutely true!Movie stars, musicians, pro sport players.....just stay out of politics, will ya? I guess some think their opinion means something....who cares.
Clearly not.Yea, who does this guy think he is, an American citizen or something?
Though intended as sarcasm, your statement taken literally has merit.Why should he be able to talk about problems that face his fellow Americans, if he does not have to face those problems anymore, do to his fame?
Again you intend sarcasm, but taken literally your statement again has merit.Either do not be talented and famous, so you can complain and have no one listen, or Be talented and famous and behave yourself.
Boy, you really do have a penchant for mistaking literally true statements for failed attempts at sarcasm. :lol:Good post Ontologuy.
Your false assessments are meaningless, rjay.A new record for most strawman in a single post, your reputation on here is intact.

Yes, absolutely, big time.Same should apply to reality TV stars.
Yes, entertainers should just entertain us.
That is their mission in life.

Or in other words, "Damn, Whitlock nailed the truth about James and sports stars mouthing off ignorantly about politics and thereby harming people in the inner communities who idolize him .. and I, Bucky, support the same BLM conspiracy theory mass hsysteria that James does."Jason Whitlock talks about politics because he is a sellout on sports:
