Trump's Using Sports to Divide America
LeBron James says Donald Trump is using sports to create a racial divide in America ... and he won't sit back quietly anymore.
"What I've noticed over the last few months that he's kinda used sport to kinda divide us, and that's something that I can't relate to," James told CNN's Don Lemon at the opening of his "I Promise" school in Akron, Ohio.
It seems James is referencing Trump's stance on the national anthem demonstrations in the NFL -- the President has suggested firing any player who takes a knee during the Star Spangled Banner.
But James says sports shouldn't divide people -- it should bring people of all races and backgrounds together.
