It's Election Day! On Monday, LeBron James urged his followers in a gentle and oblique way to vote for Barack Obama. This is a thing that people to do in America, even sports stars. Another thing that people do in America: tell other people not talk about politics, especially sports stars.
Here was the tweet in question:
The President got more work to do, make sure you get out and vote tomorrow #vote
— LeBron James (@KingJames) November 5, 2012
Now, here are some of the complaints:
@kingjames Stick to the pursuit of 8 championships. Leave the politics to the other guys. #vote
