Basketball star LeBron James has apologised after sharing a lyric about "Jewish money" on social media - saying he thought it was a compliment.
James was called out over the lyric - which comes from a song by US rapper 21 Savage - after he shared it with his 45.8m followers on Instagram.
But James said it was not his intent "to hurt anyone" with Saturday's post.
"Apologies, for sure, if I offended anyone," he told sports channel ESPN on Sunday. "That's not why I chose to share that lyric. I always [post lyrics]. That's what I do. I ride in my car, I listen to great music, and that was the byproduct of it.
"So I actually thought it was a compliment, and obviously it wasn't through the lens of a lot of people."

Being anti-Jewish isn’t racist is it? Only if you are a Democrat.

If people were equal, LeBron would still be in the ghetto of equal black boy wannabees

Sorry James, the cat is out of the bag. Hopefully the fans will react as the NFL fans did for the take a knee debacle.
To: bgill
He (like the NFL players) need to concentrate on one single thing, and just be the best at that. I hate to suggest it but it just seems like all of those NBA players from the 1960s/1970s....were more skilled at life and playing, than these players that exist today. I still believe today that the 1968 Celtics could take on any team in the NBA today and beat them in a seven game series.
To: Eddie01
There's a screwy irony in a Black Supremacist making money off "equality".

Well, I get LeBron’s equality shoe message - I’ll ‘stand up and speak’... against antisemitism...
