LeBron James has turned into a bitter, perpetually angry, whining, social justice warrior in recent years.
He’s keeping that trend going today, and chimed in on the controversy surrounding President Trump and the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
The President rescinded an invite for the traditional White House visit for sports champions upon discovering that only a small number of players intended to show up.
“The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House,” Trump tweeted. “Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event.” (RELATED: Trump Cancels Super Bowl Champion Eagles’ Visit – Taunts NFL Players for Kneeling During National Anthem).
James was asked to weigh in on the controversy. He unloaded on Trump, then added a prediction that whichever team wins the NBA championship, neither one had any intention of visiting the White House.
“It’s typical of him. I’m not surprised,” James told reporters. “I know no matter who wins this series, no one wants an invite anyway. It won’t be Cleveland or Golden State going.”

He added that winning a championship is his primary goal, something LeBron has done half as often as Michael Jordan and many times less than Bill Russell.
“Winning a championship is way bigger than getting invited to the White House, especially with him in it,” James sneered.
LeBron James: “Let’s not let someone uninviting you from their house take away from their championship… Winning a championship is way bigger than getting invited to the White House, especially with him in it.”

James has been triggered by President Trump several times previously. (RELATED: LeBron James: President Trump ‘Don’t Give a **** About the People’).
In a recorded segment in February, James told ESPN’s Cari Champion and basketball star Kevin Durant that Trump doesn’t “give a f***” about Americans.”
He also appeared on a Sports Illustrated cover alongside other stars all allegedly united against Trump. (RELATED: Sports Illustrated Cover Depicts Athletes United Against Trump).
In 2017, he called the President a “bum” for rescinding an invitation to Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry. And he supposedly took a shot at him by wearing “equality” sneakers during a game in Washington. (RELATED: Lebron James Takes Shot at Trump With ‘Equality’ Sneakers).
Maybe LeBron should consider taking Laura Ingraham’s advice after all.
Should Trump scrap the entire White House visit tradition or extend it to those who have actual respect? Share your thoughts below!

Political protest has no place at a public sporting event and those protesting are not gaining support from their fans nor their bosses. The place to protest for injustice is, on the streets, political events, the government representative( congress) and the courts. Failing all this bring out tar and feathers and the weapons.
These people are idiots. When the public stops supporting pro sports to support Trump, how are the thugs going to make a living let alone earn millions?

Hey LeBron James you don’t even know President TRUMP to even run your big black mouth about him. How the F__K do you know he doesn’t care about you? WTF is your F__king problem idiot? Maybe your ass should go back to school and be educated on your history dumb M.F. You think you’re some kind of an ICON that anyone would listen to your racist mouth? Well you’re nobody to more people than you know ASSH__E! Why don’t you listen once in a while to the facts instead of other dumbasses such as yourself and get educated on what’s really going on in this country. You may see that things are way better than you thought. Because Obama did nothing but TRY and take this country down. Didn’t succeed, but he certainly tried. All you want is for this country to be ran by the blacks and it’s NEVER going to happy so get over yourself idiot. I’m sure TRUMP can care less about what you have to say negatively about him anyhow. Go to hell LeBron James! Where you’ll end up in the end anyhow.
TRUMP IS RIGHT THEY SHOULD STAND UP LIKE MOST OF THEM DO
Todays football players are pretty much savages off the street. Not a good idea to have them in the White House anyways.

Gee makes you wonder why they do not move to another country. That would be because in another country they would be dissapeared for their actions and never heard from again .
America is America because of its structure respect it and if you want change become a politician not a overly paid sports player who does not respect the country that gave him the ability to become rich.

Screw Lebron what he said and does is NOTHING.
I’m from Ohio and who really cares what Lebron thinks! I know I don’t. I used to think he was a nice guy but the news telling him how great he is all the time doesn’t help his attitude. I voted for Trup and will do it again.

I didn’t vote for LeBron. I voted for Mr. Trump. The meeting with L’il Kim is going to be great. 1/2 Summit, 1/2 soap opera. President Trump will be on the Summit side, L’il Kim on the opera side, cuddling with playmate Dennis Rodman, another NBA whiz kid.

pooooooooooot.
I keep hearing about all the protests about Whites killing Black… but you don’t hear anything about Blacks killing Whites; or Blacks killing Blacks!!
It’s because he is a homosexual and he doesn’t like the rollback of special privileges given to his buggery mates under gay muslim president obama.

James you be the king,in your head only! Follow the “black herd” James and forget the fact that unemployment is way down among your “brother’ and sister’s” because you really do not care as long as they the “whites” pay your over valued salary. You and your brothes are the true racists.
“Overpaid gym rats” is a pretty apt description used by a previous commenter. Some people have to work to produce the taxes which keep Obama’s minions supporting their favorite charity which is the NBA.

I just remembered James is doing commercial for some company I don’t remember who but next time I see it I will advise the company I will not purchase their products.
This is good as I now stopped watching the NBA. Stick it LeBron !

Agreed! The over-paid professional athletes who act in this manner tell everyone why we agree with Trump and his actions. These athletes don’t understand that their fans are a significant part of the “American spirit” that is finally acknowledged when their accomplishments are also honored at the White House.
When they make that statement that they don’t care about this, they are telling America and their fans that they don’t care about America, they only care about themselves. Wake-up guys!
Agreed !!! He makes me sick !! He is a spoiled little child and if he didn’t have the NBA and official s giving him his platform he would be just another nobody !!

He calls himself the “king.” What a laugh. He’s just another pos too stupid to see what Obama has done.
Exactly !!!!!!!
You know this BS is pure racism they have nothing to complain about Trump on except he is white and he replaced that sorry ass Obama who is responsible for dividing the races big time. Same thing with the Eagles and Malcom Jenkins who is a cancer within the team he spews his garbage every time they put a microphone in his face.

Agree again !!!
Awesome suggestion you should send the president a letter with that.
The President should quit this silliness of inviting overpaid gym rats who win some games to the White House! Athletic prowess does not confer any importance. It would be much better to invite and celebrate engineers, inventors and scientists who actually contribute to society and the country.

I don’t remember the incident or the reason behind it I guess it was not blown up and plastered all over the papers and on TV. My opinion for what it’s worth I see James running his mouth and in Philly
we have the Eagles Malcom Jenkins complaining about police brutality as the shootings go on and on
and is totally ignored by the big mouths. The Starbucks incident in Philly got national coverage and the evening TV news one night gave it ten minutes coverage and the following story was about a black woman murdered by her boyfriend got anywhere from one to two minutes and it was done forgotten. Two men asked to leave a store big news a woman murdered who cares?
Did you people get all up in arms when Tom Brady ditched going to the WH when President Obama was in office? I am betting not.
Thought he was a good role model then he goes and opens his mouth. Does he really think people care about his drivel?
