Clay Travis: LeBron James Among Athletes Dividing America

LeBron James is great at basketball, but that’s not at all he’s great at. He has also been great at dividing his fan base, according to OutKick founder Clay Travis.

In fact, James ranks near the top of 21st century athletes when it comes to ticking off people, Clay surmised on the Clay Sexton & Buck Sexton Show on Thursday. the show is syndicated by Premiere Networks.

James’ latest foray into non-basketball topics came on Twitter (where else?), when he weighed in on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. James has been viewed as a major hypocrite by both those who oppose his stances and even some of those who support him.

While he speaks out against social injustices, he has refrained from saying anything about the massive human rights violations and slavery going on in China, a country which pays him millions in sneaker and merchandising sales.

“There's a very strong argument that LeBron has done more as an athlete to divide America than maybe any athlete in the twenty-first century. Kaepernick probably is number one on this list, but #LeBronJames is up there to a high degree.” - @ClayTravis #KyleRittenhouseTrial pic.twitter.com/Sf0tusaLTz
