LeBron James’ latest disgrace & UFC’s Colby Covington’s hilarious response



Certainly LeBron James loves the fact that he’s a billionaire; what’s ironic (and hypocritical), however, is the fact that he hates the country that paved the way for him to become a billionaire.

His latest cringeworthy political stunt occurred at his son’s basketball game this past Tuesday. The Laker’s power forward was filmed arrogantly walking into the arena during the national anthem and then sitting down as the song continued to play.

Dave Rubin is disgusted by the flagrant disregard for our country but is also not surprised.

“This has been consistent with LeBron James kneeling for the national anthem, sitting for the national anthem, [and] all of the BLM nonsense,” he criticizes. “Michael Jordan, who is the true best player in basketball history ... went out of his way to be apolitical” because “he knew that everybody bought sneakers, everybody watched basketball, [and] that you watch sports and you participate in sports to get away from the day to day nonsense of the world” — a concept LeBron clearly doesn’t understand.

Dave isn’t the only one who is repulsed by the superstar’s behavior, though.

UFC legend Colby Covington also had some choice words for the athlete’s unapologetic disrespect.

“If you hate America so much and you don’t like this country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it,” he said, “or come deal with me.”

“Go to China, go to the sweatshops where you employ all these laborers and use these women and pay them pennies on the dollar to make your millions.”

“F*** you ... You’re a spineless coward, and you’re a b****,” he fired before literally dropping the microphone and stalking off the stage.

“I wanna get that guy on the show,” laughs Dave.

LeBron James stops supporting Dallas Cowboys over pro-national anthem team policy: 'Didn’t think that was appropriate'



NBA superstar LeBron James says he stopped supporting the Dallas Cowboys because they did not kneel for the national anthem.

What is the background?

After the NFL updated its rules to permit players to remain in the locker room during the national anthem, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reiterated his team's policy: They honor the national anthem.

"I will speak for one, and everybody knows where we stand, and we stand as a team," Jones said in July 2018. "Our policy is that you stand at the anthem, toe on the line."

What did James say?

Speaking on Instagram Live, James, a longtime Cowboys fan, said on Thursday that he stopped being a fan of the Cowboys over their stance on kneeling.

"There were just a lot of things that were going on during when guys were kneeling and guys were having freedom of speech," James said.

"They wanted to do it in a very peaceful manner," he claimed. "A lot of people in their front office and a lot of people that ran the organization were like, ‘If you do that around here, then you will never play for this franchise again.'"

"And I just didn’t think that was appropriate so," he added.

\u201cLeBron James on why he\u2019s not @dallascowboys fan anymore:\n\n\u201cNah man I had to sit put on the Cowboys man. It just a things that were going on when guys were kneeling... [The] organization were like if do that around here you won\u2019t play for this franchise again.\u201d\n\n#DallasCowboys\u201d

James, however, did not offer any evidence to back his claim that Cowboys' officials threatened their players if they kneeled.

In fact, there is evidence to the contrary.

After Jones publicly reiterated his team's policy, Cowboys star running back Ezekiel Elliott said the team agreed with Jones.

"Us as a team, we chose to stand together for the national anthem. It was our decision. I think it just shows our culture. It shows that we have unity. We're going to stand as one," Elliott said.

"That's not knocking anyone else who may choose to kneel during the national anthem," he added. "But we're the Dallas Football Cowboys, America's Team. We stand for the national anthem."

Anything else?

James said he is now "all in" on his hometown team, the Cleveland Browns.
