Although LeBron James like many of us is missing sports, both being able to play it and watch it, he is very clear that he agrees with the recommendations from experts that most people should stay at home and practice social distancing. He applauded the City of Los Angeles’s decision to enforce a shelter-in-place order earlier this week and on Saturday, he echoed the message from the team he’s been with his entire professional career: Nike.
Nike shared a message to their followers, which was boosted by LeBron and several other Nike athletes, encouraging their fans to acknowledge that this is a public health crisis that must be taken seriously together, even as athletes look to stay in shame.
LeBron then shared an image from his home gym, which is obviously a lot more robust than what most of us have at our disposal. However, LeBron and other elite athletes sharing the message to their fans that this is a crucial time to stay inside and flatten the curve of the virus is important to inform more people about the virus who haven’t yet taken it seriously.
