Pro Football Talk reported that on Tuesday (June 22), Los Angeles Lakers forward Lebron James (pictured right) made an important announcement on his Twitter page. The 35-year-old NBA superstar and business mogul announced a new, strategic partnership with Patrick Mahomes (picture left), the NFL’s reigning Super Bowl MVP.
Mahomes, 24, has formed an alliance with James to help the future NBA Hall of Famer with his “More Than a Vote” organization. In addition to registering African-Americans to vote, this well-funded initiative was formulated to battle voter suppression. The young Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback joins forces with James as he is increasing his involvement in social justice issues.

“And…everyone welcome this game-changer (on and off the field) @PatrickMahomes to the family. Means a lot my Brother to have your voice in this with us. #MoreThanAVote #BlackLivesMatter,” James tweeted,
Mahomes recently made a powerful appearance in a recent video, which featured multiple star NFL players. The players were calling on their league’s leadership to be more involved with today’s social justice advocacy efforts on behalf of Black America. Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot and Cleveland Browns wideout O’Dell Beckham were also in the video.
“Change isn’t made by watching from the sidelines. Let’s do this @KingJames. @morethanavote http://morethanavote.org,”,” Mahomes replied to James in a tweet of his own.
James’ “More Than a Vote” organization is also backed by several other professional athletes. Andrew Hawkins, Jeffrey Okudah, Caron Butler, Arike Ogunbowale, Sloane Stephens, Jason Heyward, and Jozy Altidore are other big names in the sports world who are affiliated with James on this fantastic political action initiative.
