NBA superstar LeBron James tweeted this meme out on Christmas Eve comparing COVID-19 to the common cold and flu adding in the caption, “Help me out folks” followed by the shrugging-shoulders emoji:

Ooooh, boy. Imagine if Tucker Carlson or someone else at Fox News had said this? It would lead CNN for a week, at least:

It’s a real mystery why ESPN and other news outlets are avoiding it!
Fascinating how @espn covers every single utterance of LeBron yet hasn’t mentioned one word about this Instagram post calling out the covid absurdity in pro athletics. https://t.co/fjFfrFT5vo

And with cities like DC and Chicago imposing vax mandates that will disproportionately impact the Black community, will James speak up about that since he thinks the current pandemic is like a cold or the flu?

Anyway, we’ll take it. It’s good that LeBron and other league owners, etc. are *finally* speaking out about it:
I’m loving how many top athletes, coaches, and GMs are finally starting to speak out about this covid testing absurdity. Their voices are a powerful statement on returning to normalcy in this country and helping to destroy the coronabro losers in sports media.

“You’re either team sanity or team insanity when it comes to neverending covid restrictions. I’m always happy to add new recruits to team sanity”:
I don’t see this as remotely political. You’re either on team sanity or team insanity when it comes to neverending covid restrictions. I’m always happy to add new recruits to team sanity.
