LeBron James Responds to Bar Owner LeBron James is clapping back at a Cincinnati bar owner who will not air NBA games until James is “expelled” from the league. After hearing that the bar was boycotting the games, the Los Angeles Lakers forward tweeted, “Aww Damn! I was headed there to watch our game tonight and have a drink! Welp.” The bar’s owner says James and other NBA players need to keep their mouths shut and just play ball explaining, “They’re using their position to push their opinions, and that’s just not right.” Do you think sports figures should use their platforms to push their opinions?
