Will Cain: “Athletes ask us to accept a premise in which I cannot accept. In the words of LeBron James ‘Black men are being hunted down in the streets of America.’ That simply is not true… An entire narrative is being built that the United States is racist at its core and requires some drastic fundamental change. I don’t not agree with the indictment of the United States of America to its core. If the NBA players want to establish themselves as political players, do I have to sign up to every political agenda you are putting forward, otherwise I’m a racist? These are my problems, and what I reject the players doing… I saw the Wisconsin – I believe the assistant attorney general or attorney general – speak last night where he said ‘we don’t need an investigation to know what is happening to Black men across this country.’ What he is telling us is that he is not interested in justice, he’s only interested in narratives. Much of these narratives, and not all of them, but much of them are false narratives, i.e. ‘hunted down in the streets' as LeBron has echoed. It causes deep racial division in this country, and it’s literally leading to violence in the streets. It’s tearing this country apart at the seams.” (Full Segment Above)
Listen to Will Cain join The Doug Gottlieb Show to detail why he thinks LeBron James and the NBA are heading towards ‘self-destruction’ if they continue along their current path fixated on partisan politics, and divisive racial rhetoric that Cain thinks is adding to the country’s boiling race relations, and even inciting more violence.
Check out the full segment above as Cain explains why he doesn’t agree with a lot of these ‘false narratives’ that LeBron and the NBA are recklessly pushing.
