LEBRON JAMES laments about Trump divide America

LeBron James says Donald Trump is using sports to create a racial divide in America . .
. and he won ' t sit back quietly anymore .

" What I ' ve noticed over the last few months that he ' s kinda used sport to kinda divide us, and that ' s something that I can ' t relate to , " James told CNN' s Don Lemon at the opening of his I Promise school in Akron , Ohio .

It seems James is referencing Trump ' s stance on the national anthem demonstrations in the NFL - - the President has suggested firing any player who takes a knee during " The Star -Spangled Banner . "

But, James says sports shouldn ' t divide people - - it should bring people of all races and backgrounds together .

" Sports was the first time I was ever around someone white. I got an opportunity to see them and learn about them, and they got the opportunity to learn about me and we became very good friends and I was like , ‘Oh wow , this is all because of sports . '”

Of course , LeBron has been very critical of Trump in the past - - even calling him a clown.
No tweet from Trump yet . . . but guessing that ' s just a matter of time.
