Here’s Who Is Really Paying for LeBron James’ New I Promise school!
Lebron is just a little cry baby. So disrespectful and so self-centered. Only cares for himself. Nearly three months ago, NBA player LeBron James made disgusting comments about President Donald Trump. In a video, LeBron James said that the president “is someone who doesn’t understand the people. He doesn’t give a f**k about the people.”
Last week he came with another accusation on President Trump!
And everybody in the MSM praised him for his action but when our President responded every major media outlet decide to attack President Trump about racism!
Today I found another story that proves that LeBron James is nothing but a scam!
“You wouldn’t know from all the national coverage that LeBron James isn’t paying for everything at his new I Promise School in Akron,” Patrick O’Donnell of The Plain Dealer reported over the weekend. He’s paying for part of it.
That’s because it’s not a private school; it’s a public one whose “construction” LeBron helped fund via his LeBron James Family Foundation, which acquired the money by soliciting donations from donors such as Harvey Weinstein. Also keep in mind that every buck the foundation has spent on the school is tax deductible.
The foundation will specifically be paying for less than 25 percent of the school’s operating costs, according to Cleveland-based newspaper, which estimated that “the district will pay more than half the costs — perhaps around 75 percent – once [the school] is fully running.
“I Promise will eventually cost about $8 million a year to run out of the district’s regular budget, covered mostly by shifting students, teachers and money from other schools.”
“The coverage made it look like the whole thing is his,” district spokesman Mark Williamson reportedly complained. “He did a lot, but taxpayers should know it’s their investment too.”
The Plain Dealer reported that LeBron’s foundation intends to spend “$2 million or more a year when the school has grown to capacity,” though it cautioned “[t]he exact amount is still to be determined,” meaning it could conceivably wind up spending less, or more.
And then there’s this: The free tuition/scholarship to the University of Akron that LeBron guaranteed to students who graduate from the school will in fact reportedly be funded by the university, not him or his foundation.
Yes, King James opened ‘his’ school.
A philanthropic endeavor!
Except Akron Public Schools is paying for 75% of itUniv in Akron put in $100K
And I BET Fed govt gave a grant too! (Obama?)Let’s be honest how much King did!
And how much taxpayers did.— FriendlyJan🍀🇺🇸👍🏼🐬🌻🎯 (@FriendlyJMC) August 7, 2018
75% straight taxpayer funded, the other 25% will result in probably a 40% tax refund for James. So 88.5% straight taxes. Also local/state taxes for the school and federal for James refund.https://t.co/UoLbLi65p0

Good reporting here on what seems to be a substantial taxpayer obligation for LeBron’s iPromise school. Also, those scholarships to Akron apparently aren’t coming from LeBron’s foundation. https://t.co/YrxoTUcwxh

You know that “LeBron James built a school for struggling kids!” story? It’s #FakeNews. The Akron taxpayers are building, maintaining, running, and funding that school.
The LeBron “foundation” (which means other people’s money) pays only a small portion: https://t.co/TESj8bDsEY

National media dishing fake news again: A tax write off expenditure by an overpaid athlete does not make him a beacon, to the nation. Media start celebrating everyday tax payers footing the burden too. https://t.co/5Vb9J4HiG8

@realDonaldTrump was right again! @KingJames is another low IQ #usefulidiot mouthpiece:
“taxpayers will pay for the bulk of the costs… the district will pay more than half the costs – perhaps around 75 percent – once it is fully running.”https://t.co/rSHYIb5zwR

Interesting break down of the costs of @KingJames I promise school project. I guess I believed he was paying 100% of the costs 🤔 https://t.co/JMWpBtV5u1 pic.twitter.com/VLYBV4GNkW

This is far less about LeBron James the person. This is more about media protectionism because an athlete happens to agree with them politically. And of course, access. Kudos again to Patrick O’Donnell here. https://t.co/YrxoTUcwxh
