LeBron James declares he is no longer a Dallas Cowboys fan after Jerry Jones threatened to ban players protesting during the national anthem, viewing the move as brand protection over free speech. While admiring specific players like CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott, James accuses Jones of hypocrisy for claiming to support Black Lives while suppressing peaceful dissent, comparing the NFL's stance to historical boycotts. The discussion further debates racial terminology and parallels Jones' actions with LeBron's own business decisions regarding China, ultimately leading James to pledge support for the Cleveland Browns despite their poor performance as a direct rebuke of the Cowboys' leadership.

Jerry Jones Kneel Policy00:01:29
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
Got a damn good show.
LeBron James.
He's no longer a Cowboy fan.
Check this out.
Really?
Oh, that hurts.
This year, but I ain't heard you talk shit about the Cowboys in a long, I mean, maybe since like 1997 or something.
You still a Cowboys fan?
Nah, man.
I had to chill out around.
I had to chill out on the Cowboys, man.
Like, you know, man, there's a lot of things that was going on during the, you know, when guys were kneeling and, you know, guys were having, you know, freedom of speech and wanted to do it in a very peaceful manner.
And, you know, a lot of people in their front office and a lot of people that ran the organization was like, you know, if you do that around here, then you would never play, you know, for this franchise again.
And I just didn't think that was appropriate.
That makes total sense.
You know, I like a lot of the players on the team still.
You know, I love CeeDee Lamb.
Obviously, you know, our boy Zeke, you know, Buckeye, you know, I still mess with him.
I love Michael Parsons.
He's a dog.
Oh, man.
He's a dog.
God.
Michael Parsons is a dog.
You know, Trayvon Diggs, you know, but I had to turn it in, even though I still got a lot of people.
So now you're all in on the Browns.
I'm all in on the Browns.
Good.
Go back where you came from.
You ain't no Dallas fan.
You don't belong.
You don't have the privilege of being a Dallas Cowboys fan.
That's America's team.
So I turns out, I guess, Jerry.
I'm glad he went back where he came from.
American Identity Debate00:04:45
Go back where you came from.
Hey, so I guess Jerry Jones in the front office that is like, look, if you kneel, you won't be playing for the Cowboys no more.
So he gave them an option.
If you want to, you can still do that protest if you want, but you ain't going to be playing here.
Yeah.
He don't have a gun that nobody said.
If you want to kneel for the national anthem, you have the First Amendment.
You can do so.
But the First Amendment come with consequences.
Us over here on the right, we totally realize that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, come on, sister.
How effective is a protest if you're going to kneel for the national anthem right now?
How effective is that protest if that protest has been going, what, five, six years now?
How effective of a protest do you think that is?
I don't even know what y'all protesting.
What are they protesting?
An effective protest should be over in like a couple of weeks.
Easily.
Shit, Rosa Parks, I think that was over in a week.
Y'all, you, oh, I can't sit in the front of the bus.
Well, I won't ride the bus no more.
Then they lose all this money.
Say, hey, we got to bring these Negroes back.
That's what they called them back then, Negroes.
Hey, Negroes, y'all can see it wherever y'all want.
Here y'all still talking about, you still talking about kneeling for the national anthem five, six years later.
I mean, at this point, don't y'all think y'all should change it up?
Yeah.
I mean, I still don't know what y'all protesting.
I still don't understand.
I mean, the Dallas Cowboys, I think that's the most expensive, the most valuable franchise in all of sports.
They're branded as America's team.
How American is it when you have a Black Lives Matter supporting Negro on his knees kneeling?
That don't look too American to me.
You don't supposed to say Negro no more.
Just say better than the N-word.
Well, African-American.
They want to be called African Americans.
I ain't calling nobody African American.
None of them Negroes African Americans.
They ain't from African, huh?
Man.
Y'all just black Americans.
I don't even call myself an African American because I'm not African.
I mean, I have ancestry from Africa, but I was born in America.
I'm not African.
If you don't believe me, anybody was born here in America, go to Africa and tell them you African-American.
They're going to laugh your ass right out of Africa.
Yeah, African-American is just, you shouldn't even call yourself it because you're not.
I mean, your ancestry is, but you're an American citizen that happens to be black.
That's all you are.
That's what Democrats want you to think.
You're African-American.
You're not a full-blown American.
You're African-American.
You're going to always need me to hip you, boys, so you better vote Democrat.
Yeah.
Remember, you African boy.
Them boys on the right, they don't like you Africans.
They don't like you African fellas.
Yeah, look, Jerry Jones is protecting his brand.
You know, a lot of football teams lost money when that whole kneeling thing went down because a lot of fans are not going to support a team that they feel is disrespecting our country.
It looks un-American.
It looks unpatriotic.
Right, Jerry Jones is protecting his brand.
Like, you protect your brand all the time, LeBron James.
Do you ever speak out against China?
No, you don't because it will ruin your business partner's brand, their money.
Your money, right?
Yeah.
So you can protect your brand.
But Jerry Jones can't.
You need to go back who you came from.
I mean, you just hypocrite.
You just don't.
It's like you don't understand what's going on.
The NFL is a business.
I'm sure Jerry Jones would do anything to help support black lives.
Yeah.
Look how much he's paying Zeke.
Yeah.
I mean, he, what, what is he, a white supremacist?
I can see if you're not supporting him.
If Jerry Jones is a white supremacist, he's wearing a tread-on-me t-shirt everywhere.
Don't make America great again.
He's got that MAGA hat on everywhere.
Hey, boy, you better not kneel.
Yeah, these racist.
But he ain't none of that.
He ain't none of that, man.
He's protecting his brand.
His brand is America's team.
And it looks un-American to have players, black, white, brown, yellow, and everything in between, kneeling during the national anthem, especially because nobody understands or knows why y'all are kneeling.
You just look like a bunch of ungrateful Negroes.
Jerry Jones is a billionaire.
I heard he's a good guy.
I heard he's a good guy.
Won't you go sit down with Jerry Jones and come up with better options to help the black community?
You're a billionaire.
He's a billionaire.
He'll take your phone call.
Won't you do that?
Oh, I'm just going to be a Cleveland Browns fan.
They suck.
Yeah, so you just go turn your back on your boy Zeke, CeeDee Lamb, Mika Parsons, all of them are beasts.
All y'all boys, you go turn your back on them.
Man, you fake as hell.
All of those boys.
How you just gonna leave your boys hanging like that?
