    "NFL owners have a slave mentality."........Lebron James.

    Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was critical of NFL owners during the latest episode of HBO's "The Shop" on Friday night, saying they have a "slave mentality."

    "In the NFL they got a bunch of old white men owning teams and they got that slave mentality," James said during the episode. "And it's like, 'This is my team. You do what the f--- I tell y'all to do. Or we get rid of y'all.'
    Editor's Picks



    "The players are who make the ship go. We make it go. Every Sunday, without Todd Gurley and without Odell Beckham Jr., without those players, those guys, there is no football. And it's the same in the NBA."

    Gurley, the Los Angeles Rams' star running back, was a guest on Friday night's episode, which several times compared professional basketball with professional football.

    "The difference between the NBA and the NFL, the NBA is what we believe he [a player] can be. The potential," James said. "In the NFL, it's like what can you do for me this Sunday, or this Monday or this Thursday, and if you ain't it, we moving on."

    Added Gurley: "That what I say: Your best ability is availability. ... It's really week by week. It ain't no year by year."


    "The Shop" is a 30-minute show set in a barbershop where athletes and celebrities have conversations about life and sports. James was talking with his business partner Maverick Carter, Gurley and actor/rapper Ice Cube when he made the comments.

    "I'm so appreciative in our league of our commissioner," James said, referencing Adam Silver. "He doesn't mind us having ... a real feeling and to be able to express that. It doesn't even matter if Adam agrees with what we are saying, he at least wants to hear us out. As long as we are doing it in a very educational, nonviolent way, then he's absolutely OK with it."

    James and Carter are executive producers of "The Shop," which debuted this year.

    I would just quit if I worked for someone who treated me like a slave, but for some reason these guys don't.

    I'd love to hear him say something like this in front of a media panel that wouldn't coddle to him.

    The guy is basically belittling slavery.

    What a moron, but hey, great triple-double tonight.

    Todd gurley and odb were his examples. Notice how he didn't say Drew Brees, Tom Brady or Adam thielen.

    I guess they don't count in his mind. I thought I was reading a quote from Michelle Obama instead of LeBron for a second there

    What does Lebron know about anything in regards to... what the NFL owners are thinking?

    Guy needs to just stick with the NBA and shut up.

    I know you’re smart enough to know the statement Lebron made here was downright ridiculous.

    Slaves can’t quit and they aren’t paid. These guys can quit anytime and there are millions who would love to take their place.

    It’s called a “business owner mentality”.

    If the advancement of black people is really what you guys are after, looking like weak, entitled crybabies will not serve you well.

    The white man made Lebron rich

    How dumb is he

    Whites run world because smarter than every race

    Every race has to bow down to the white man

    It is the way it has always worked and will always work.

    The players are free to walk away anytime that they want and do something else, just like anyone else who works a job. Slaves never had that option.

    Sounds more like Lebron has a black power mentality. Lets see Lebron poure hundreds of millions or billions into something and tel his employees they are free to do whatever they want anytime lol

    This is more bullshit that shows many black peoples hate, negativity and anger towards whites but frame it as being about equality

    It has been proven pouring money into black education does not work

    Lebron donating money fine even if tax write offs if it helps a few kids I guess successfull.

    Black culture needs to change , 150 years and very little advancement so something needs to be done different .

    Owners have been too powerful in sports, I agree on that.

    Now with so much money involved it is time to force them to sell their teams
    to the cities who use their name. Public ownership of sports teams.
    Just like we should have public healthcare and public utilities all owned by communities
    not billionaries. LeBron is getting red pilled.
