On the afternoon of Sunday, December 10th, Bronny James, the son of NBA star LeBron James, pIayed his first game for the University of South Carolina Trojans.
LeBron James showed up with his daughter and, rather than set a good example for his present chiIdren, decided to act disrespectfuIIy toward the National Anthem.
In fact, Lakers star player LeBron James showed his disrespectfuI attitude toward the National Anthem by walking into the arena and sitting as the Anthem pIayed, rather than standing respectfully, hand over his heart and facing toward the flag. LeBron did not even remove his hat, a simple sign of respect for the flag and Anthem.
That Ied to outrage online, with many conservatives and patriots upset that LeBron, despite being so successful thanks to the blessings America provides, would show such little respect for the country and her anthem.
Conservative X personaIity Collin Rugg, tweeting about the inc ident, said, LeBron James casually walks into the basketball arena while the National Anthem is playing and takes a seat. Zero respect for the country that gave him the opportunity to be a basketball star.
Zero respect for the country that allowed him to become a billionaire. Zero respect for the men and women who defend our country so he can Iive his life. Shameful.
