## Colby Covington Criticizes LeBron James for Allegedly Using School as Tax Write-Off

**Overview:**
Colby Covington, a UFC star, expressed strong opinions about basketball icon LeBron James during a recent interview with the Daily Wire. Covington accused James of utilizing his school and charities as a means to benefit from tax write-offs, claiming it was a strategy to maintain wealth rather than a genuine act of kindness towards the community.

**Allegations:**
Covington highlighted that high-income individuals, like James, seek tax deductions through contributions to schools and charities. He implied that the philanthropic image portrayed by James might not be as altruistic as it appears, suggesting that the motives behind his charitable endeavors may ultimately serve as a financial tactic to retain personal wealth.

**Claims of Hypocrisy:**
In addition to the tax-related accusations, Covington labeled James as a “hypocrite” and a “Chinese puppet master”. He criticized James for not addressing issues such as the employment of women in Chinese sweatshops for producing merchandise at low wages. Covington also questioned James’s silence on matters concerning human rights abuses in China, portraying him as selective in his advocacy for equality and justice.

**Background:**
Covington, known as the No. 1-ranked welterweight in the UFC, has engaged in public disagreements with James in the past over their differing perspectives on social and political topics. Despite Covington’s vocal criticism, James has not publicly responded to the ongoing feud.
