"SNIP...............


LeBron James and a slew of players on the Cleveland Cavaliers team will reportedly not stay in the Trump SoHo hotel when they travel to New York City to play the New York Knicks this week. The hotel was reportedly booked for the team prior to the presidential election. General manager David Griffin said that the team has made arrangements for players who do not wish to stay in the hotel. Griffin said upwards of half the team may not stay at the hotel. James endorsed Hillary Clinton during the election.

1. Thank you, King James.

2. Excellent! Good for the Cavs!

3. I love LeBron

he truly lives his values!

[LuckyLib]

4. THIS is what folks have to do. Vote with their feet when possible.

5. At this point, I assume the room has been paid for

It might even save Trump a few bucks since they don't need to send housekeeping to clean the room if nobody uses it.

8. Why would you assume that? The hotel should be able

to rebook the rooms, unless the boycott is gaining more steam.

9. I dont know

So keep the deposit and rebook. I doubt trump will mind.

11. The public statement of boycott is more impactful than a few bucks

saved by retaining a deposit.

15. Having one of the most popular athletes in the world boycott your hotel is good for business, Travis

6. May it become an epidemic. There aren't enough people with money among his supporters

And he's alienating everybody who has the money to buy those products or stay in those hotels. May his businesses crash and burn.

12. Nice! Any decent person would have to feel a little dirty staying there

I think I would feel grossed out.

[Cha]

13. Damn.. way to be activists, LeBron and Cavs!

Thank you, apple!

14. You're welcome Cha!

16. I just have to become a Cavs fan

This transplanted Hoosier can do that.

17. We love you king James!

My district the one I called, canvassed and agonized over went for Hillary here in Ohio...small comfort...and I think LeBron tipped the scales.
