In an Op-ed for Business Insider, LeBron James reveals that he is endorsing Hillary Clinton because she’ll continue to build onto the foundation that President Obama will leave behind. The NBA player condones her plans to build more schools and increase pay for teachers.
“Like my foundation, Hillary has always been a champion for children and their futures,” he writes. “She wants to make sure kids have access to a good education, no matter what zip code they live in. She’ll rebuild schools that are falling apart and put more money into computer science. She’ll make sure teachers are paid what they deserve so they can give everything to their students.”
He also believes that the democratic nominee can unify Americans in order to end, or heavily minimize, increased violence against African Americans.
“Finally, we must address the violence, of every kind, the African-American community is experiencing in our streets and seeing on our TVs. I believe rebuilding our communities by focusing on at-risk children is a significant part of the solution. However, I am not a politician, I don’t know everything it will take finally to end the violence. But I do know we need a president who brings us together and keeps us unified. Policies and ideas that divide us more are not the solution. We must all stand together – no matter where we are from or the color of our skin. And Hillary is running on the message of hope and unity that we need.”
