Well Lebron tries and accomplishes good things and he has the power to get things done.

Many of the other athletes dont have the reputation or power to accomplish change and end up pissing off their employer and losing their job so.... Its risky for a marginal professional athlete to engage in political stances.

It actually sounded like Lebron had enough influence to get the entire season boycotted from the articles I read. Again, I would never understand the end game if they went through with it but it sounded like a serious discussion.
