Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James addressed President Donald Trump's comments on sports and protests on Monday, talking extensively about the issue and the NFL's response but never using the president's name.
"First of all, I salute the NFL, the coaches, the players, the owners, the fans. Everyone had any association with the NFL was unbelievable," James said. "There was no divide. Even from that guy that continues to try to divide us as people.
"The thing that frustrated me, pissed me off: He was using the sports platform to divide us. Sports is so amazing, what sports can do for everyone, no matter shape, size, race.
