After the Lakers victory against the Trail Blazers on Friday, LeBron James responded to comments soccer star Zlatan Ibrahimovic made in a recent interview, in which he told James and other social-activist athletes to stick to sports.
In the Lakers postgame news conference, James said he would never shut up about things that are wrong. I preach about my people, and I preach about equality, James said. Social injustice. Racism. Systematic voter suppression. Things that go on in our community. Because I was a part of my community at one point and saw the things that was going on, and I know what s going on still because I have a group of 300-plus kids at my school that are going through the same thing, and they need a voice. And I m their voice. I m their voice, and I use my platform to continue to shed light on everything that may be going on, not only in my community, but around this country and around the world.
