LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s sports media company UNINTERRUPTED is staying busy even though sports, save for the UFC, aren’t happening in North America right now. Throughout ‘The Last Dance,’ UNINTERRUPTED has had a lot of great interviews with athletes over the past few weeks, and now, they will also have some more content going to the new platform, Quibi.
UNINTERRUPTED announced on Friday morning that they have agreed to a deal with Quibi to do a documentary on the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal entitled ‘Sign Language.’ Although LeBron’s name is not on the production as an executive producer, we already know how he feels about how the MLB handled the punishment for the Astros. James said that the Astros violated the very fabric of sports with their actions.
Listen I know I don’t play baseball but I am in Sports and I know if someone cheated me out of winning the title and I found out about it I would be F*^king irate! I mean like uncontrollable about what I would/could do! Listen here baseball commissioner listen to your…..

Here’s how the documentary envisions itself, via a press release.
The documentary will transcend the baseball diamond to explore larger themes of greed, cheating, corruption, sportsmanship and social media activism. Using UNINTERRUPTED’s hit podcast R2C2 with CC Sabathia and Ryan Ruocco, access to top athletes, sports reporters and The Cinemart’s award-winning investigative filmmaking, ‘SIGN LANGUAGE’ will be the definitive documentary about the scandal that rocked America’s pastime.
Also, anytime to bring back “listen here baseball commissioner” is a good time. There’s no official date on when the documentary will be available on Quibi.
