McKay, Zach Lowe and I want to get to LeBron James guys who was once again using his more than a vote platform to team up with the NBA to fight voter suppression this time during All Star weekend.

麥凱、扎克-洛威和我想去找勒布朗-詹姆斯這些傢伙，他又一次利用他的不止是投票平臺，這次在全明星週末與NBA聯手打擊壓制選民。

And this isn't just fighting voter suppression in some general way.

這不僅僅是以某種普遍的方式打擊壓制選民的行為。

This is so crucial right now because lawmakers in Georgia and 42 other states are considering more than 250 measures that would create impediments to American citizens exercising their right to vote.

現在這一點非常重要，因為佐治亞州和其他42個州的立法者正在考慮250多項措施，這些措施將對美國公民行使投票權造成障礙。

I was gonna say that again.

我本來想再說一遍的

250 new regulations across 43 states, including Georgia, where the All Star Game is going to be held to try to make it harder for Americans to vote.

在43個州有250條新規定，包括全明星賽將要舉行的喬治亞州，試圖讓美國人更難投票。

So the NBA LeBron James more than a vote.

所以NBA勒布朗-詹姆斯多了一票。

You're going to hear a lot about that during All Star weekend.

在全明星週末的時候，你會聽到很多關於這個的消息。

Now there is an athlete who has taken issue with LeBron's off court activism.

As I gather myself, it always gives me pause when people speak on situations without walking in the other person's shoes.

當我收拾好自己的心情，當人們不站在對方的立場上說話的時候，總是讓我感到不安。

And I know LeBron James shoes are really large, but he deals with a lot of pressure, and he has done a great job navigating that over the entirety of his career.

而且我知道勒布朗-詹姆斯的鞋子真的很大，但他處理了很多壓力，他在整個職業生涯中做了很好的引導。

And we all know that LeBron is all about elevating and using his platform to advocate for underserved communities.

I mean, athletes without question are at the intersection of sports and society, and athletes are expected to now use their platforms for good because we understand that our success is the exception and not the norm.

我的意思是，運動員毫無疑問地處於體育和社會的交叉點，運動員現在應該利用他們的平臺做好事，因為我們明白我們的成功是例外而不是標準。

So we have to really hold it down for those who look like us and who we represent.

And there are very few athletes that have a bigger platform than LeBron, and he has seized the opportunity that he has earned to educate and empower, You know, his own community, whether it's in Akron, Ohio, or Los Angeles or anywhere in between.

很少有運動員，有一個更大的平臺比勒布朗，他已經抓住了機會，他已經贏得了教育和授權，你知道，他自己的社區，無論是在阿克倫，俄亥俄州，或洛杉磯或任何地方之間。

And I know this personally as you mentioned Rachel as a member of the more than a vote coalition.

我個人也知道這一點，因為你提到瑞秋是不止一票聯盟的成員。

And so when I heard lots on say that, I just wondered if he has seen the amount of good that LeBron James has done when he uses his platform instead of more so the negative things that could actually be the things that are politicized.

所以當我聽到很多上說，我只是想知道，他是否看到了勒布朗-詹姆斯在使用他的平臺時做了多少好事，而不是更多這樣的負面事情，實際上可能是被政治化的事情。

First of all, congratulations is a lot of time because by saying this, all he's doing is amplifying LeBron's voice even more every time he brings this up.

首先，恭喜你的時間很多，因為他說這句話的時候，他所做的就是把勒布朗的聲音更加放大，每次他提起這件事。

And if people believe that the safety of their community depends on whether it's voting rights or gun safety or any of the other issues that these athletes are asked about, they should absolutely be involved, just like they're involved in all the other things that we want them to do.

如果人們認為他們社區的安全取決於無論是投票權或槍支安全或任何其他問題，這些運動員被問及，他們絕對應該參與，就像他們參與所有其他事情，我們希望他們做。
