Excerpts:

" ...(Jerry) Jones' public remarks in which he said he'd require Cowboys players to stand during the national anthem, "toe on the line." "The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, with the old plantation mentality," Sherman said of Jones. "What did you expect?"

"Houston Texans owner Bob McNair went a step further, saying in a meeting, "We can't have the inmates running the prison," as the protests continued in the weeks after the president's comments and tweets."

I can see comments like these being slave owner mentality-esqu. And I can't imagine any blue collar employer making comments like these to their employees, especially when it has nothing to do with their job performance.

*Edit: Btw, I believe LeBron is referring to the kneeling issue in the NFL when he made these comments
