Seventy_Yard_FG Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So Lebron and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are fighting. I guess it started with Ibrahimovic answering a question or commenting: https://www.espn.com/soccer/ac-milan/story/4324640/zlatan-ibrahimovic-to-lebron-james-do-what-youre-good-at,-stay-out-of-politics Quote "[LeBron] is phenomenal at what he's doing, but I don't like when people have some kind of status, they go and do politics at the same time," Ibrahimovic said. "Do what you're good at. Do the category you do. I play football because I'm the best at playing football. "I don't do politics. If I would be a political politician, I would do politics. That is the first mistake people do when they become famous and they become in a certain status. Stay out of it. Just do what you do best because it doesn't look good." Then Lebron responds: So at first I don't think that much of it, but of course I agree with Ibrahimovic, but I didn't know anything about him so I went to follow him on social media, and I looked at some of his highlights on youtube. Then just for craps I saw this video of Skip and Shannon and I haven't heard from them in a long time, so I gave them a listen. Usual PC bs from Shannon, and Skip too, but Skip brought to my attention that Ibrahimovic is actually a very dirty player and I had no idea, so I checked out this highlight video: And now this guy is my absolute favorite player in soccer, because I bet you dollars to donuts he doesnt care about the political stuff at all, he was deliberately trying to get a reaction out of Lebron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Moss Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Zlatan was displaced by the wars in the Balkans growing up and I’m guessing for him sports has always been a pleasant distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPhilly Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I’m longtime friends with Zlatan’s first top division coach from when Zlatan was 17 or 18. Great great player but always been a total deek head prima donna as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boogyman Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I never understood this. So if you are a plumber or car salesman, giving your opinion on politics is ok. But if you play a pro sport or are an actor or musician your opinion is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are literally making LeBron's voice heard even more. Good job doing exactly what Lebron wants lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don’t want to get into a word or sentence battle with Lebron, but, while he’s certainly entitled to his opinion, he’s a blithering idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidMoFo Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Plumbers, soccer players, basketball players... sure we need to get all of them to stfu... but can we start with failed game show hosts first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the same as saying "man, these plumbers need to keep their opinions about politics to themselves. What does a plumber know about it anyway?". Telling an individual is not the same as attempting to exclude an entire group of people because they are famous or make a ton of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPhilly Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Zlatan is going to do Zlatan. He's 1000% in love with himself and will tell you exactly what he thinks. He won't care what anyone else thinks or says. He's also very opinionated. Take him for what he is, a brilliant soccer player and super confident individual.

DrPhilly Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 btw - If you like looking at soccer highlights take a look at some of Zlatan's. Many of his goals are a bit different from the traditional goal scorers. He is six four and built like a race horse but with amazing ball handling skills. He ends up getting lots of chances with half volleys and mid air strikes and things like that. Quite different from what a Messi type would end up with.
