LeBron James goes off on MLB commissioner Rob Manfred and the Houston Astros

The Houston Astros and MLB commissioner Rob Manfred have been getting ripped to shreds from all angles over the Astros’ cheating scandal and the league’s lack of consequences for it. We’ve heard it from some of the biggest stars in baseball so far — Mike Trout, Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge included.

You can add LeBron James to that list as one of those angles now.

Manfred is looking absolutely terrible right now for not punishing Houston enough by stripping the Astros of their 2017 World Series title after it was revealed that they were stealing signs throughout that season.

James took to Twitter to voice his displeasure and, hoo boy, did he go in. He didn’t pull any punches with this one.

Ouch.

It may not be James’ sport, but it’s clear that he’s upset about this along with the MLB’s other players. I doubt the Astros’ title will ever be stripped, but man, this thing is getting out of hand.
