Jesse Jackson Fires On Cleveland Owner Dan Gilbert For Treating Lebron James Like A "Runaway Slave"
Shortly after James announced his decision last week, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cleveland's fans, ripping the 25-year-old and promising to deliver a title before James wins one. He called James' decision "cowardly" and later told The Associated Press he believes James quit during a handful of Cavaliers playoff games.
"He has gotten a free pass," Gilbert told the AP in a phone interview late Thursday night. "People have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."
Jackson said Gilbert's comments were "mean, arrogant and presumptuous."
"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers," the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract."
Messages were left Sunday night seeking comment from Gilbert, the Cavaliers and James.
Jackson also called Gilbert's comments an attack on all NBA players and said the owner should face a "challenge" from the league and the players' association.
NBA spokesman Tim Frank declined comment.

I'm not a fan of Jackson at all, but I agree with him completely. If Labron wasn't performing they would have gotten rid of him in a heartbeat. Complete double standards. The team can get rid of the player, but the player can't get rid of the team FOH!

@SGT DUNSON "he turned his back on his entire city for his own ambitions." IN A BIG BUSINESS SUCH AS THE NBA THERE IS LIMITED IF ANY LOYALITY....BASKETBALL PLAYERS RATHER THEY STAY WITH A TEAM OR NOT ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED FOR THEIR OWN "AMBITIONS" AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. SO WHY DO YOU? FURTHERMORE, THIS WHITE OWNER SAID ALL THESE CRAZY THING ABOUT BRON BRON YET HE STILL WAS RECURITING HIM TO PLAY FOR HIS TEAM....GO FIGURE! RAPP YOUR MIND AROUND THAT

Why yall always gotta bring RACE into it. Lebron is Hella f****** disloyal for leaving his team, and F****** HOME TOWN. It has nothing to do with being black. yeah it business and more beneficial for him somewhere else. That doesnt change the fact that he turned his back on his entire city for his own ambitions.

FROM READING THE COMMENT SOME (EVEN BLACK FOLK) ARE MAD BECAUSE HE USED THE TERM "RUNAWAY SLAVE" WELL UNFORTURATELYTHATS WHAT IT SEEMED LIKE. SOME WHITE FOLK HATE TO ALLUDE TO RACE BECAUSE IT SHINES A LIGHT ON OVER 200YRS OF OPPRESSION AND WHITE RACISM. SOME BLACK HATE WHEN RACE IS INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY WANNA GO AND F*** SOME WHITE MF (MALE OR FEMALE). SO THEY DON'T LIKE TO GET INTO RACE, THEY RATHER YOU NOT BRING IT UP. WELL UNFORTURATEY YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, BECAUSE IT IS IN YOUR REALITY! SHOT OUT TO (THAT 33RD DEGREE MASON) JESSE JACKSON! NOT ALWAYS A FAN, BUT YOU SPOKE THE TRUTH!!
