And, you know, like, of course, some imitated his demonstration, but you needed players en masse in far more massive numbers, not necessarily protesting.
Even if you didn't protest, you at least needed to let it be known it is not okay to exile and to suppress somebody
for expressing this kind of belief.
And they didn't do that.
And they didn't protect their own rights to speak up.
And as a result,
the NFL was able to quickly get them in order.
And so I think the same thing kind of happened with LeBron is that even though, you know, LeBron didn't lose any money, you know, he didn't lose a contract.
He didn't lose his job.
He's still a great player.
He's still celebrated, but it got him permanently in political crosshairs.
And that's where a lot of players don't want to be.
Like every time, if LeBron says anything related to any kind of social justice or expresses any kind of political opinion,
It's going to be content on Fox for weeks.
And a lot of players, they just don't want to smoke.
I think that's a fair assessment.
So yeah, I mean, I stand corrected.
I think when you're dealing with something as complicated as that, as a geopolitical issue, is that we know that there are ways in which you don't have to always involve yourself.
You got to pick your spots.
But obviously that was very much tied to the NBA and how they make money.
