After his Instagram blunder last week, LeBron James was attacked by fans once more for what he did on social media as his tweet throwing his weight behind Deshaun Watson viral
Although his tweet of gratitude for Deshaun Watson went viral, he didn’t make any dumb mistakes this time.
The quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson, had been in the spotlight for his alleged sexual assault. The quarterback was the subject of 23 separate sexual assault cases. However, he was able to obtain a settlement offer for the majority of them, and he was never indicted. In addition, he missed more than half the season due to a suspension.
