LeBron James Doesn’t Support The Cowboys Anymore
Unfortunately, James sustained a wrist injury while playing basketball due to which he couldn’t play football in his senior year. Several experts have opined that if James had decided to make a career in football, he would have surely made his way into the NFL.
Nevertheless, LeBron’s love for football remained intact and he has been seen several times in high-octane clashes cheering for his favorite NFL team. Although he has said on several occasions that he is a massive fan of the Cleveland Browns, LeBron is famously known for following the Dallas Cowboys as well.

However, recently, James made it absolutely clear that he is not a Cowboys fan anymore. When asked if he still supports the Cowboys, James said, “Nah man I had to sit put on the Cowboys man.”
He claimed that when a lot of footballers were taking a knee to protest peacefully, the Cowboys front office made it clear that if their players do it, they won’t be able to play for the franchise anymore which he thought was against the freedom of speech.
LeBron stated that although he doesn’t support the team anymore, he is still on great terms with a lot of talented athletes who play for the Cowboys. The NBA Legend went on to claim that now he is supporting the Cleveland Browns with all his might.
