LeBron James has the perfect reaction to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s comments. The soccer superstar said people like LeBron should never speak up about topics related to society and politics.
Ibrahimovic said LeBron is phenomenal at what he is doing. However, he doesn’t like the fact that people with LeBron’s status dare to talk politics. The soccer star even encouraged LeBron to do what he is good at and stick to his category. Ibrahimovic plays football because he is the best at that. He doesn’t do politics. Well, this is just his point of view.
According to Ibrahimovic, this is the first mistake people do when they gain popularity and get a certain status. “Stay out of it,” Ibrahimovic said.
LeBron James didn’t take Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s comments lightly
LeBron didn’t remain silent. He responded to Ibrahimovic’s comments in a lengthy response. Well, LeBron would never stick to sports. He likes using his platform to support people in his community.
“At the end of the day, I would never shut up about things that are wrong. I preach about my people and I preach about inequality, social injustice, racism, systematic voter suppression, things that go on in our community because I was part of my community at one point and seeing things that are going on,” LeBron said. “I know what’s going on still because I have a group of 300-plus kids at my school that are going through the same thing and they need a voice.
“I’m their voice. I use my platform to continue to shed light on everything that may be going on not only in my community but around this country and around the world. There’s no way I would ever just stick to sports because I understand this platform and how powerful my voice is. You can just ask Renee Montgomery if I would’ve shut up and just dribbled, seeing that beautiful black woman today be a part of a group where she’s part of an ownership group with the Atlanta Dream down in Atlanta.”
LeBron called out Ibrahimovic’s hypocrisy considering the attitude he had towards racism in the past.
The Lakers superstar shared a 2018 story about Ibrahimovic and his comments on racism in Sweden.
Ibrahimovic is outspoken, but he is not as outspoken as LeBron. The soccer star doesn’t like LeBron’s off-court activism.
