‘South Park’ rips LeBron James for his observations of China in the latest episode – Fox News

“South Park” took a not-so-subtle dig at NBA superstar LeBron James for his response to the League’s disputes with China on Wednesday night’s episode of the long-running animated series.

In the episode “Let them eat Goo”, trouble hit South Park Elementary when the school adjusted its lunch menu with healthier options to accommodate some students who did not sit well with his outspoken junk food-loving fourth-grader Cartman.

In a fiery confrontation with classmates who advocated healthy eating, a vegan student told Cartman he had a “right to free speech” after Cartman complained their protest was “destroying” his lunch.

“Yes, we have freedom of speech, but sometimes there are consequences for negativity that can happen when you don’t think about others but only think about yourself!”Cartman reacted.

Well, that was what James told reporters word-for-word on Monday when asked about the ongoing conflict between China and the NBA, which stemmed from a tweet from Houston rockets Manager Daryl Morey that expressed support for the Hong Kong protesters.

“Yes, we have freedom of speech, but sometimes there are consequences for negativity, which can happen when you don’t think about others but only think about yourself,” James said. “I believe (Moray) was not educated on the situation and he was talking and so many people could have suffered not only financially but physically, emotionally, spiritually.”

Not only did Pocket echo James say he was “not only financially, but physically, emotionally” and “spiritually” affected by the new lunch menu, he also noted “Taco Tuesday,” something the NBA all-stars did on social media.

“South Park” received plenty of attention this season for an episode that mocked China and its influence over Hollywood and American Affairs including the NBA, which will air the days after the Communist country’s conflict with the NBA flared up.

After the episode aired, China completely banned the show and cleared “South Park” of online streaming services and social media platforms.
