At his son’s USC debut, UFC contender Colby Covington unabashedly criticizes LeBron James for sitting through the national anthem. Covington, a well-known opponent of James, calls him a “spineless coward” and advises that, if he truly hates America, he ought to think about emigrating.
“If you hate America so much and you don’t like this country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it. Or come deal with me,” Prior to his championship match against UFC Welterweight Champion Leon Edwards on Saturday, Covington informed media on Wednesday. “Go to China. Go to these sweatshops that you employ all these laborers and use these women and pay them pennies on the dollar to make your millions. Fk you, LeDrama James. You’re a coward. You’re a spineless coward, and you’re a bch.”

James, who has frequently called out the United States as a “racist” society and maligned the police, ignited the internet this past weekend when he decided to skip the playing of the national anthem. James has previously kneeled for the national anthem prior to games, most notably following the passing of George Floyd in 2020, even though it didn’t seem like he was making a political statement in this particular occasion.
James said that the shooting of convicted sex offender Jacob Blake, who was shot while trying to steal a child, demonstrated why black people are “terrified” of the police. In addition, he made threats against an officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant, who was trying to knife a different female.
James is constantly called a “spineless coward” by Covington for his attacks on law enforcement and the foundational values of the country.

“Before I go, I want to say a big thank you to the real heroes and celebrities in this country. Not that woke, spineless coward like LeBron James,” After concluding his weigh-in interview in front of UFC 272 last year, Covington informed Joe Rogan. “I’m talking about our heroes, law enforcement, military, our first responders. God bless you; God bless you all. God bless America.”
