LeBron James rips reporters for lack of Cowboys questions

NBA superstar LeBron James has been getting more and more vocal in recent years regarding issues that have nothing to do with sports, and he's at it once again. 

James, who said that he's no longer a fan of the Dallas Cowboys due to their alleged policy against kneeling during the singing of the national anthem prior to games, sounded off on the controversial 1957 photo showing a then 14-year-old Jerry Jones photographed with a group of students at North Little Rock High School protesting the desegregation of the school. 

"I got one question for you guys before you guys leave. I was thinking when I was on my way over here, I was wondering why I haven't gotten a question from you guys about the Jerry Jones photo," James asked, via ESPN. "But when the Kyrie [Irving] thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask us questions about that."

"When I watch Kyrie talk and he says, 'I know who I am, but I want to keep the same energy when we're talking about my people and the things that we've been through,' and that Jerry Jones photo is one of those moments that our people, Black people, have been through in America," James said. "And I feel like as a Black man, as a Black athlete, as someone with power and a platform, when we do something wrong, or something that people don't agree with, it's on every single tabloid, every single news coverage, it's on the bottom ticker. It's asked about every single day."

"But it seems like to me that the whole Jerry Jones situation, photo -- and I know it was years and years ago and we all make mistakes, I get it -- but it seems like it's just been buried under, like, 'Oh, it happened. OK, we just move on.' And I was just kind of disappointed that I haven't received that question from you guys."

Irving, James' former teammate with the Cleveland Cavaliers, was suspended by the Brooklyn Nets last month over his endorsement of an openly anti-Semitic film.
