Once criticized for his perceived silence and lack of involvement in sociopolitical issues, LeBron James feels more comfortable speaking out now than ever.
The four-time MVP, known for his philanthropy in his native Northeast Ohio, was an ardent supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, campaigning alongside her just before the November election. He took to Instagram to express his thoughts in the aftermath of Republican Donald Trump's victory in the electoral college.
With the Women's March on Washington serving as the headlining event, similar organized protests were held in major cities throughout the country Saturday, Trump's first full day in office. James, who ripped Trump for dubbing his lewd and inappropriate comments about women "locker room talk", showed his support for the activism all over the country the day after Trump's inauguration.
James recognized the estimated millions who participated in the marches on Twitter.

Earlier Saturday, James took a dig at Trump on Instagram, posting a popular video which highlights the similarities between Trump's inauguration address and the words of D.C. Comic's character Bane.
