LeBron Says He’s Not a Cowboys Fan After Team’s Handling of Kneeling

Lakers star LeBron James has changed his longtime NFL fandom of the Cowboys after the team’s stance on players kneeling during the national anthem.

James revealed his fandom change on Thursday night in an Instagram Live stream with friend and longtime business partner Maverick Carter.

“Nah man I had to sit put on the Cowboys man,” James said.

“It’s just a lot of things that were going on when guys were kneeling. …The organization was like ‘If you do that around here, you won’t ever play for this franchise again.’ I just didn’t think that was appropriate.
