Video Goes Viral of Basketball Star Ignoring National Anthem

NBA star LeBron James is taking heat online for walking into his son’s college basketball game and taking a seat while the National Anthem was playing.

The 34-second video clip, which notably does not show the entire playing of the anthem, went viral, racking up more than 3.9 million views on X in under 24 hours. Most commenters were displeased with James’ actions, qualifying them as disrespectful, though in lockstep with the baller’s past actions and comments about the U.S.

“LeBron James casually walks into the basketball arena while the National Anthem is playing and takes a seat,” conservative Collin Rugg captioned the video, which was captured by O.C. Register reporter Luca Evans.

“Zero respect for the country that gave him the opportunity to be a basketball star,” Rugg added. “Zero respect for the country that allowed him to become a billionaire. Zero respect for the men and women who defend our country so he can live his life. Shameful.”

REPORT: Not One 8th Grader at LeBron James’ I Promise School Has Passed State Math Test in 3 Years

Not a single 8th grader at the I Promise School LeBron in Akron, Ohio, a school founded by LeBron James, has passed their state math test in three years, and critics are blasting the school for its unkept promises.

When LeBron James dropped into Akron with great fanfare and media coverage in 2018, promising to fund a new sort of school to help educate young people in his hometown, many hailed him as just the savior the city needed. But did James’ “I Promise” school fulfill its promises? Test scores are showing that it hasn’t.

Now, even Akron school board members are beginning to question James’ commitment to actual education and wondering if it was more about burnishing his reputation as a philanthropist than a serious effort to reform and reinvigorate education.

Last week, members of the Akron school board began taking a closer look at James’ so-called I Promise school and found that real academic achievements are few and far between. . .

Akron school board President Derrick Hall said he was “disappointed” by the school’s serious deficits. (Read more from “REPORT: Not One 8th Grader at LeBron James’ I Promise School Has Passed State Math Test in 3 Years” HERE)

Trump: How Would Lebron James Compete As a Transgender Woman?

Former President Donald Trump asked his supporters what would happen to the popularity of LeBron James if the National Basketball Association’s biggest star transitioned from male to female.

Speaking at the “Protect Our Elections” rally in Arizona, Trump questioned what would happen to the “greatness” of James if he transitioned and took the court in the Women’s National Basketball Association.

“Somebody said that if LeBron James ever decided to get the operation, how would he be on the court,” Trump said Saturday. . .

The Lakers star would excel in competition against his WNBA peers, Trump said. (Read more from “Trump: How Would Lebron James Compete As a Transgender Woman?” HERE)

Lebron James Bent the Knee to Dictator Xi but China Still Isn’t Releasing His Latest Movie

While LeBron James has been keen on maintaining his cushy relationship with communist China, dictator Xi Jinping has yet to greenlight the NBA star’s new film “Space Jam: A New Legacy” for release.

“The film is carefully neutered to appeal to an apolitical global cinematic marketplace dominated by China,” Politico wrote last week. “Oddly, the ‘Space Jam’ sequel is not currently scheduled for a release in China.”

James stirred up controversy in 2019 when he rebuked Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey for supporting Hong Kong protests for freedom, saying, “We talk about this freedom of speech,” but sometimes “there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself.”

The Lakers’ forward, 36, has consistently kowtowed to the genocidal regime to line his pockets. James has a $1 billion lifetime deal with Nike, whose CEO said just last month, “Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.” Nike also sources cotton from the country that gathers more than 80 percent from where Uyghur Muslims are held in slave camps. Meanwhile, the NBA also rakes in billions of dollars from China, while players maintain foreign endorsements that members of Congress have criticized.
