LeBron James Sports Beto O’Rourke For Senate Hat To Lakers’ Game In San Antonio

Professional athletes often avoid anything related to politics, but there also stars who do not think twice before expressing their opinion. LeBron James is one of them, and he is definitely no stranger to making bold political statements. Before the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the San Antonio Spurs, reporters caught LeBron wearing a black and white hat. It was not just a regular hat, it was a “Beto for Senate” hat. Simple as that.

This move is a clear sign of LeBron’s political views. You cannot just ignore the fact that King James supports the US Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke.

O’Rourke is challenging Ted Cruz in one of his greatest high-profile races. Beto is running for Ted’s seat in the Senate. It is a tight race, and every American follows the way things develop for both Beto and Ted.

This is not the first time King James expresses his praise and support for O’Rourke. When O’Rourke was asked about his opinion for top athletes and NFL players who take a knee during the performance of the National Anthem, he said that the move is not “disrespectful.” The whole thing was caught on cameras, and LeBron shared it on his Twitter. “A must watch! Salute Beto O’Rourke for the candid thoughtful words!” LeBron wrote.

A Must Watch!!! ?????‼️ Salute @BetoORourke for the candid thoughtful words! https://t.co/E1YrbqGciZ

At the 2016 Republican National Convention, Ted Cruz invoked LeBron James the Cavaliers’ 3-1 comeback in the 2016 NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors as a metaphor for his comeback. LeBron supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the presidential election.

Let’s hope that this gesture will not put LeBron in trouble with his fans. People are really sensitive about politics at the moment, and everyone is just going crazy and insulting those who think differently.

However, this has nothing on LeBron and his big role in the Lakers organisation.
