That sparked a discussion in the comments below Hill’s post, with one user saying, “I think being a sore loser and actually having to engage in uncensored oppositional politics really irritates the left. It’s a soft move.”

Hill responded by saying, “You all live under the twisted belief that subjecting yourself to constant vitriol and dealing with holes is some kind of badge of honor.”

“This app is at an all-time low,” Hill added. “It’s full of racists, conspiracy theorists and assholes. If you consider that intellectually stimulating, God help you.’

One X user agreed with Hill, noting that he has an “easy answer” for those you don’t want to hear from on the app: “the block button.” The

“What I find funny is that the people who throw around that ‘snowflake’ term are the weakest people,” she replied. “Sorry, it’s not a ‘challenging ideology’ that calls someone a c— 100 times a day.

Hill used James’ detailed answer about why he voted for Harris to destroy Bosa.

“Oh look, LeBron was asked about a public political statement he made and he explained IN DETAIL why he did that. Nick Bosa doesn’t have the guts to do this,” she said.

James’ time off from social media came after he shared the screenshot of a lengthy X-post from NBA agent Rich Kleiman, who ripped national sports coverage for its negativity.

“We can all recognize that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can’t reporting do the same? It’s just clickbait if you say it,” Kleiman wrote at the time. “When the platform is that big, you can make the change and let us all escape the negativity in real life. I think it’s all a waste of breath. The Olympics and JJ (Redick) and Bron’s show were the future of what all this can and must be.”

James said, “AMEN!!” on the post before sharing his decision to leave his social platforms.
