LeBron James reveals why he is no longer a Cowboys fan
LeBron James is a fair weather NFL fan who has supported a number of different teams over the years, but the Dallas Cowboys are officially off his list. We now know why.
James spoke about why he no longer roots for the Cowboys during an Instagram live session with his business partner Maverick Carter on Wednesday. The Los Angeles Lakers star pointed to the Cowboys’ stance on national anthem protests.
“There was just a lot of things that were going on when guys were kneeling and guys were (exercising) freedom of speech and wanted to do it in a very peaceful manner,” James said. “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, you’ll never play for this franchise again.’ I just didn’t think that was appropriate.”
James said he still likes a lot of players on the Cowboys. He mentioned CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott, and a few others, but he said he felt he “had to turn it in.” You can see the clip below, but beware that it contains a curse word:
