Ohio Bar Bans NBA Games Until LeBron James ‘Expelled’ From League After Targeting Cop; James Fires Back

A bar in Cincinnati, Ohio, will no longer show NBA games until LeBron James is “expelled” from the league after he tweeted a photograph targeting a police officer who saved a black girl from being stabbed last week, captioning it, “YOU’RE NEXT.”

“If anyone wants to watch an NBA game, don’t come to Linnie’s Pub,” Linne’s Pub owner Jay Linneman said in a Facebook post. “We will not air them until Lebron James has been expelled from the NBA.”

James, a left-wing Democrat activist, tweeted out a photograph of the police officer — who allegedly shot and killed a girl who was trying to stab another girl — writing, “YOU’RE NEXT. #ACCOUNTABILITY.” James included an emoji of an hour glass, which is used to signify that time is running out.

Linneman told The Cincinnati Enquirer that if high ranking elected government officials did what James did, there would be calls for their removal from office.

“They just need to play the game and that’s it,” he added. “Their opinion doesn’t really matter. They’re using their position to push their opinions, and that’s just not right.”

James responded to news that the bar banned NBA games by appearing to mock the bar, writing on Twitter: “Aww Damn! I was headed there to watch our game tonight and have a drink! Welp.”
