Sparks among giants, on politics and sport.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

began by

criticizing

LeBron James

for excessive exposure on political issues.

Today the replica of the Lakers star.

"I like it so much - the Rossoneri champion from Lebron said - it's phenomenal what he's doing, but I don't like it when people who have a certain type of status are involved in politics at the same time" referring to the positions taken on US politics and on themes of 'black lives matter'.

"I play football because I am the best at football, I am not a politician, Ibra said. I mean: do what you are good at, do your job. It is the first mistake made by those who become famous".

And the response of the Nba star arrived: "There is no way that I will shut up in the face of injustices and limit myself to sport", said the American champion, adding: "I am part of my community and I have over 300 boys. in my schools that need a voice and I am their voice. "

And again "I will always deal with issues such as equality, social justice, racism, medical assistance and the right to vote".


"I know how powerful my voice is and the 'platform' I speak from and I will always use it to take care of certain things, in my community, in my country and around the world."

Finally a jab: "It is funny - says LeBron - that he says these things, because he is the same guy who in 2018 spoke of racism in Sweden linked to his origins and his surname".
