LeBron James Slams Trump over Goodyear Boycott: ‘We Don’t Bend, Fold or Break for Nobody’
L.A. Lakers star and high-dollar business partner with China, LeBron James, went on the attack against President Donald Trump for his criticism of the Goodyear’s support for employee expressions of support for Black Lives Matter while banning pro-police messages.
Earlier this week, Goodyear came under criticism for banning employees from wearing items announcing support for the police and Trump, even though it allows regalia in support of Black Lives matter and “social justice.” The free speech ban spurred Trump to call for a boycott of the company.
Now, basketball player LeBron James — who is native to Goodyear’s hometown of Akron, Ohio — attacked the president for his call to boycott Goodyear.
Speaking to the press on Thursday, James spoke about what Goodyear means to Akron.
“We don’t bend, and we don’t break for nobody. So, we’re not worried about that,” James told the media. “Not only has Goodyear been great for my city, for the history of my city, but the country and what they represented. It’s an unbelievable brand, unbelievable history. We stand strong and always unite, especially my city.
