How Twitter Reacted To LeBron James' Comments On Jerry Jones

LeBron James is once again at the center of the sports universe with his latest comments on Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

James lashed out at reporters asking why they haven't asked him about the photo of Jones that recently surfaced. Jones was captured in a group of white students who were blocking black students from entering an Arkansas school.

James said he was asked plenty about Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving retweeting a film that some considered anti-Jewish while never having to answer questions on Jones.

"When the Kyrie [Irving] thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that," James said ... before continuing, "When I watch Kyrie talk and he says, 'I know who I am, but I want to keep the same energy when we're talking about my people and the things that we've been through,' and that Jerry Jones photo is one of those moments that our people, Black people, have been through in America."

"And I feel like as a Black man, as a Black athlete, as someone with power and a platform, when we do something wrong, or something that people don't agree with, it's on every single tabloid, every single news coverage, it's on the bottom ticker. It's asked about every single day."

Here's how Twitter reacted to the comments:

He may not be a clearly better player than Jordan on the court but this is what makes LeBron James the GOAT. ✊🏽

SALUTE TO Lebron James for confronting the media and pointing out the FACT that whenever Black people under the spotlight do something deemed wrong, shit is EVERYWHERE but when wealthy white people like Jerry Jones or Robert Kraft do something, it's swept away quietly. Right on. pic.twitter.com/x2vQnWcSwi

Reason why I love @kingjames as an athlete and a role model. Jerry Jones, the racist owner of the @dallascowboys was present with a crowd of a racist white mob who violently prevented integration and actively stripped Black people of their human rights. #Lebron #JerryJones #BLM pic.twitter.com/jcP6bIPFt9

LeBron James is the most divisive and hateful athlete in America today.

James uses his massive platform to attack Jerry Jones over a photo taken 65 years ago and defend China.
