The NBA Finals were hardly watched, and many believe it has everything to do with league’s social justice messages. Some are even pointing the finger squarely at LeBron James. UFC star Colby Covington went on a rant against LeBron James while promoting a gambling service on social media over the weekend.
Covington, wearing a “F—k LeBron” shirt and standing in between two women on a beach, went on a tirade and sarcastically congratulated James on his NBA Finals victory.
“Congratulations are in order for my good buddy, LeBron James. Congrats, LeBron. Congrats on setting the record for the least-watched NBA Finals in history. You wish you could blame it on the pandemic, but everybody’s just sick of your woke b——t. And while the NBA ratings are down, UFC is up, just like our bank account,” he said while promoting My Bookie.
Woke seems to be the latest word everyone likes to throw around. Here’s another word, LAME. Covington has attacked James previously over the NBA superstar’s social injustice initiatives. In September, he issued a statement on “woke athletes” after a win over Tyron Woodley.

“I want to dedicate this fight to all the first responders, all the military out there,” he said, according to MMAFighting.com. “This world would not be safe without you guys, you keep us safe, and not these woke athletes. I’m sick of these spineless cowards like LeBron James.”
We need to see Covington say that crap to LeBron’s face. James told reporters that anyone can talk any kind of junk they want but when it comes time to step up, they get scared, according to The Washington Post.
What a time to be WOKE.
