Because EVERYBODY is dying to know what a professional athlete thinks of the current election!
What’s sad is that people probably are…
According to this, NBA superstar LeBron James (who’s only career experience is playing basketball – the guy never even went to college) has decided to endorse Hillary Clinton, because she’s going to continue to build on the “legacy” of Barack Obama.
Don’t know about you, but that almost sounds like a non-endorsement to me –
In the op-ed, James wrote that his endorsement decision came down to a few factors.
James has spent significant time and money building up his hometown of Akron, mentoring local students and, in some cases, paying for their college tuition through the LeBron James Family Foundation. He said he feels Clinton is the only candidate who “understands the struggles of an Akron child born into poverty.”
Clinton, James said, is also the best candidate to carry out President Barack Obama’s legacy.

LeBron James says he decided to endorse Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump for president in part because he feels she will carry on Barack Obama’s legacy. James calls Obama a “good friend.”
Additionally, James said the US needs a president who will bring the country closer.“I do know we need a President who brings us together and keeps us unified,” he wrote in the op-ed. “Policies and ideas that divide us more are not the solution. We must all stand together – no matter where we are from or the color of our skin. And Hillary is running on the message of hope and unity that we need.”
Look, I know it’s hard for LeBron to pay attention to what’s actually going on in the world – with all of his moving back and forth between Cleveland’s and Miami’s teams and drawing the ire of his fans in Ohio – but there is nothing unifying about what Barack Obama has done in the past eight years. His and the Democrats’ divisive racial rhetoric has made a mess of places like Ferguson, Baltimore, and Charlotte. To say NOTHING of the victimhood culture that’s taken hold of today’s college campuses. And Hillary’s already promised to make it worse.
But details don’t matter in the long run. One of the most popular basketball players has endorse Queen Hillary for president. The low-fos are going to be ALL OVER that one.
Just lovely…
