This is LeBron James's most recent blog and he addresses Darfur.

I also watched a special on Outsides the Lines on ESPN that talked about Darfur. Kobe made a public awareness commercial. He was asked to be interviewed by ESPN but he refused. LeBron refused to sign Ira Newbles open letter to China saying the Olympics shouldn't be held in China. LeBron said he didn't know much about Darfur at the time. After learning about it... he wants to take a stand... and the best place to do it... is at the Olympics.
 
They should but they probably won't because it's generally not good policy for athletes to offend the host country, as evil as China may be.
 
The War in Darfur!!!??...it has been addressed or alluded to in other arena's of mainstream television....I dont know if the USA team will speak out against it at all
 
What is a darfur. I guess they would if it's important to the world.
