Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James, right, and teammate Anthony Davis slap hands before Game 2 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2020, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Akron’s best-known native responded to President Donald Trump’s attack on his Ohio hometown’s iconic company, offering a shout-out of solidarity with the city, company and workers.
hmmmbuzz Goodyear is an awesome company. I grew up just south of Akron and my brother works in the Houston facility. It's trumpy who is the issue, not Goodyear. Funny too as my brother is a old school republican who hates trumpy. Now more than ever. Goodyear
Lebron is a coward. He doesn’t care about poor black communities.
Sorry LeBron and Goodyear. Walking away.
Le Moron James lololool That fake fraud and corrupted sell out. I now know I am not going to be good year tires and I will make sure to spears the world each and every day . Enough us enough of bullshit
royaldmd1 TrumpDementiaSyndrome
I wiil Not buy goodyear tires again. Goodyear does not support law enforcement. BLUE LIVES MATTER.
For sure more Americans will believe Lebron James more than crazy Donald Trump!!!
Trumpie needs to stop even tho I have no car to put Goodyear on at the moment..When I do get from between these blessings. When I get another car..Imma put GOODYEARS ON IT!!!!
KingJames did you defend Goya as well?
Who gives a shit what Leebron says? He kneels during the anthem!
Does Lebron know why? Why would Goodyear ban Maga and blue lives matter and not ban Biden or BLM? If you’re going ban political or affiliation gear, be consistent.
No More Good Years for GOODYEAR!!! Management should have thought about Who Has Been Supporting Them For Over 100 YEARS!!! I HOPE THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!
We stand with goodyear thank you !
Thank you LeBron
Thank you LeBron from a former Goodyear employee
Always count on LeBron James to be on the wrong side of everything. When is his next check from China due in?
That's good. Now LeBron why don't you and your fellow NBA players do the same for Black businesses. Oh that's right they aren't national brands. With all of that 'star' influence you could help struggling black businesses by just mentioning them on your social media alone.
Who cares what or who LeBron defends? He can’t defend Kawhi🤣
Lebron all lives matter
No one cares what you think LeBron.
Right after bending the knee to a Marxist movement he says 'we don't bend for nobody.' Now that deserves a 'come on man' 😂
Good he can buy all the Goodyear tires he wants. That’s the beauty of our country. We are allowed to support politicians companies whatever based on our beliefs and values. I won’t be buying them though.
Go live in China
POS
1000% lie. He has no idea. Just hates anything Trump says. That all the lefties have. Lebron- try to defend somebody first. Jordan's still outplaying you.
Glad LeBron is elevating this issue with his celebrity!
Lebron is loosing a lot of fans
Olspudsey Fascinating that the left is so concerned about defending Goodyear but won’t defend this country from the CCP.
LeBron can’t say Anything anyone before he basically defended China on the Houston GM situation after that LeBron was exposed a money hungry fraud nothing wrong with that but Admit it HK situation exposed his true desire
I don’t fucking care.
Let me guess they did something to displease someone.....
Shut up and dribble!
Perhaps Goodyear should allow blue lives matter and all lives matter? 🤣 funny how the left are all for backing boycotting companies likeGoya foods for supporting Trump, not exactly ideological! Abundant hypocrisy doesn't even come close! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Akron, Ohio has 11% unemployment and POTUS is tying to destroy an American manufacturing company like goodyear? Trump does not love American manufacturing, jobs or Ohio's people!
Who?
LeBron James is a real soldier for China & rewarded handsomely with Chinese money too.
How does a president champion a boycott of his own countries' products.
He wants to see them divided like the rest of America is. Unfortunately, the world is deaf to his call and is buying GOODYEAR. A suffering soul.
Lebron is such a POS
I have always bought Goodyear tires and I will do it again!
But silent on China. It's unbelievable.
Ah.... Associated Press to the rescue!
Goodyear is a corporation siding with the radical Democrats trying to end 2nd-amendment rights for people they oppose. Their reputation has been 4-ever damaged by allowing 1-sided political expression.
who cares what no brain james thinks or says. he bounces a fu*king ball for a living.
Any word from him about the CCP’s ongoing genocide against the Uighurs?
Go woke go broke
CCP sweatshops is his thing
Lebron defends China. There is no reason to listen to him. People in sweatshops make his shoes.
Good for you I will boycott Goodyear because ALL lives matter not just black
👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If you take a knee, that means you support this.
GOODYEAR SUCKS
Fuck lie Ron
LeBron, you have fans on both sides of the politics. Stay off it. Just play the game and do it after you retire!
Goodyear flap was that they allowed BlkLM and any gay related garb but not Blue lives matter as well as DT clothing. Try telling the story correctly AP. Goodyear should allow both Black and Blue LM or neither. Realizing their error, they corrected it Now your turn.
Put the ballin the hole and shut up.
TDS
Racist Democrat Joe Biden thinks he can tell all black people how to think and vote. And if we don't do what old, white Joe Biden says, 'we 'aint black.' I have a message for Joe Biden: Black people do not belong to you, Joe Biden. ALLLIVESMATTERNEWS
If Trump said he loves Goodyear Lefraud would say how horrible they are. 😂
I'd like to know what KingJames REALLY thinks about kanyewest and all his NONSENSE 👵🤬💯
KingJames is nothing but a Hillary Hugger. So glad I grew up watching and appreciate the Real basketball player called Michael Jordan. Ciao
This is what Trump supporters are saying about lebron
Thought KingJames was for equality and against discrimination...why is it ok to wear black lives matter attire but not blue lives or all lives.What happened to unity. Honestly don’t think causes,issues or politics should be allowed in any workplace including nba and goodyear
LeBron has finally come out as a bigot and U.S. hater. If it is so bad here for you please leave. This country has allowed you to make a fortune. You can live anywhere. why stay in a place you hate.
Yes KingJames OhioStandsWithGoodYear OhioStandsAgainstTrump
Screw Trump!
Bronny. You probably want to get rid of whitewall tires.
Nobody cares of about what LeBron has to say except LeBron himself. GTFO!
I am due for new treads. Goodyear it is! Anything Trump boycotts is a great company in my book.
All of a sudden LaBron loves Goodyear. 🤣🤣🤣
WELL THAT is even WORSE for Firestone!!
Anything China loving La Bitch likes I know I won’t like.
LeBron James is a pinko commie.
how do you abbreviate twitter and call Lebron James at the same time? TWIT
Hmmm
Shut up and take your millions from China, you're good with that, I'm sure. Trump2020MF
Screw Goodyear. Burn their plants to the ground.
Unlike other businesses, Goodyear now allows blue lives matter. They were very quick to right a wrong. Goodyear is now off my ban list.
Never watching racist ball ever again
I’d like to see the stats how many former presidents have verbally (not legislatively) advocates for boycotting a U.S. company. Seems to be highly uncommon from 1776-2016.
Of course LeBaby would side with them. Afterall he’s the king of divisiveness.... get a real job bruh, a seal could do what you do.... for a bucket of fish!
BoycottGoodyear BoycottNBA
Then why aren't you still with the Cavaliers if Ohio means so much to you?
LeBron and The Q in Cleveland, where Trump was nominated.
Lebron is a Traitor to our country and should be exiled to Wuhan China
Hey LeBronJames BlueLivesMatter ThinBlueLine
Lebrun would defend anything Trump opposes.
F Lebrun
I wish he would just shut up. So sick of him
Cool stuff
LeBron who? I really don't care what LeBron thinks. Do you?
Gadsden, AL says up yours!
Eye roll
And LeBon and China have been great for one another.
Fuck Lebron James.
No one gives a shit about you Lebron give them all the millions they lost if you are so upset you are the very reason racism still thrives
LeBron = hypocrite
This is great news for Biden. Donald had his feelings hurt again and he wants magas to boycott GY. So if the company loses business employees will be laid off and this is in swing state Ohio. Keep it going Donald.
In Haiti it rhymes with quality. No ad needed.
Only low IQ people that can't read think Lebron is smart.
He's just looking for another windfall.
GoGo CCP!
When King James, the NBA, and social justice players find the courage to endorse democracy in Hong Kong let us know
Whats a Labron James? And what has he ever done to make America better? It sure wasn't basketball. And being a racist is not making it better. So, mind your own BS James.
He also supports China so....
A promoter of child murderers. Wearing that lie
look at this fella who bows down to China and the Jewish owners of the NBA
I thought Republicans opposed'cancel culture'
For Trump profit over country
all lives matter
China’s puppet
KOOP3R13 Support for Goodyear, China who gives the NBA millions off the backs of slave labor. Your the best Sir James
Wish LeBron would have stood up for Hong Kong like this
perhaps then Lebron would like to comment about cheaper Chinese knock off versions of goodyear tires? are they ok?
WGAF what Lebron thinks?
Maybe goodyear is boycott proof like Nike proved to be, but the bottom line is “reverse” racism IS racism. If you fight against “white on black racism” by discriminating against all whites, you’re in fact a racist. Lebron is a millionaire who’s only true goal is to make more $
LEBRON IS JUST ANOTHER RACIST
Just focus on basketball and win!
Fuck goodyear. Fuck KingJames.
He’s such a good guy.
LeBron loves yellow slavery
LeBron is a coward to Communists Chinese, no respect
Same guy that defends China. Yeah, that’s someone who’s opinions mean 💩 King James... king sellout. If he couldn’t play ball, he would be in prison
Cooper is Ohio based and makes cheaper tires that last longer.
Says the guy who bolted Cleveland....twice
Just don’t get why any company would ban the term blue lives matter. If your company is into slogans and such. Is that really a controversial statement? Is it so divisive? If they’re gonna allow one why not the other ?
How about he tells Nike to move production from China to Akron......
BLACK LIVES MANIPULATED.
Wow, really? A basketball player telling us what we should buy. Cute. 😂
GAME OVER...literally...for LeBron and Goodyear...
Just shoot the dam ball.....🏀
I challenge anyone to find another instance prior to this that he ever spoke about Goodyear.
So funny, Lebron and Dems just do the opposite.
He’s a huge hypocrite. More and more people are starting to see it.
Beijing Lebron
Sucking King James?
Both need rotation.
King James always proves he is worthy of his royal rank.
And right on cue LeBron James pokes his head up and opens up his mouth. I guess he was feeling a bit left out of the news cycle. LeBron James is a fakenews clown.
This clown is a stooge for China.
Thank God we got ‘Bron’s thoughts on the matter. 🙄
...but he defends China like his life depended on it.
KingJames dunking on realDonaldTrump again.
Just what Goodyear needs right now. An angy Semiliterate crybaby millionaire as their spokesperson.
High school grad.
Trump is scared to go to prison 2021 so he will say anything from keeping you focusing on him and the Russians from interfering with our election
Guess Lebron is against free speech? Especially speech against Communist China?
Lebron James Supports Genocide in China. UyghurGenocide
Good year did more for the city of Akron northeastern Ohio in much of the United States in one week than Trump did in four years in those places
Impeach him again
Let’s him kneel in a Communist Country
Who cares what NBA player thinks
Trump is correct . It’s important to stop funding or supporting terrorists and goodyear cannot support terrorists without repercussions
I'll be buying Good Year!! Trump says to buy American, but he trashes our US companies. So un-American!
Good guy LeBron. 👑👑👑
Lebron, the king of beijing, finally speaks out!
You guys never criticize what the company did but always Trumps response
It’s time
We'll see if his support helps them out.
He doesn't wear Goodyear basketball shoes though.
