A few weeks ago, LeBron James called out the reports in a press conference when they didn't ask him about Jerry Jones' desegregation photo. He was upset by the fact that no media member questioned him about the Cowboys owner, while they were quick to ask when it came to Kyrie Irving.
The media bombarded the Lakers star with questions about Irving after he shared a link to an anti-Semitic movie. However, when it came to Jerry Jones, they remained silent.
During the broadcast of Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, James dived further into the topic and provided further clarification. Here's what LeBron James said about his comments about Jerry Jones on TNF in The Shop:
"Just to cut this accountability, man,you know, the media is so quick to hold us athletes, especially as black athletes, you know, always hold us accountable. We can make mistakes, we can't do they want to bring up everything again. I want to hold immediate accountability."
James added:
"They wasn't you know, the fact that they didn't ask any one of us, you know, and I didn't hear a question from any athlete, you know, especially in the basketball world, but about the situation. Now I'm just holding them accountable. No, no, I see. I am. I am definitely woke. That's for sure."
It's true that Jerry Jones (owner of the Dallas Cowboys) faced less backlash from the video than Kyrie Irving. The whole matter somewhat disappeared after a couple of days.
On the other hand, Irving was suspended by the Brooklyn Nets for multiple games and also lost his sponsorship with Nike. LeBron James is certainly not pleased with the doubles standards that are applied to different people.
LeBron James stopped supporting the Dallas Cowboys a few years ago
LeBron James was a huge Dallas Cowboys supporter back in the day, but he has stopped supporting them. This came after they threatened their players, pressuring them to stand during the National Anthem.
Since then, he has only supported the Cleveland Browns. He also cheers for Ohio State due to his hometown being Cleveland. The Lakers star is a prominent figure around the world and his comments about Jerry Jones brought a lot of attention.
