PROBLEM: ''' James said at poine point . 
James had waded back into the fray over the weekend . 
INDEPENDENCE , Ohio -- LeBron James helped move the conversation forward Monday after the latest collision of sports and politics over the weekend . 
Where Gilbert was right , and where James could meet him in using his voice instead of his knee and encouraging the same from his peers , is in taking steps toward those highly sought constructive conversations and positive resolutions . 
"He does n't understand the power that he has , for being the leader of this beautiful country ," James said . 
Minutes later , though , James felt obliged to explain that kneeling during the national anthem is "not about disrespect of the flag and our military and everybody who has made this world free . 
James , the Cleveland Cavaliers ' star as well as the NBA 's top performer and perhaps its most polarizing figure , was in a good mood , engaged and willing to entertain questions about anything , from anyone , in the most notable exchange at the Cavs ' media day . 
James was savvy enough at the start of what became a 40-minute Q&A session to request that reporters clump their questions together by topic -- and there were a good half dozen meaty ones hanging over him and his team after a tumultuous offseason -- rather than skip randomly back and forth . 
James said he would lend his voice , his passion , his money and his resources to causes , particularly involving young people . 
His foundation launched a school in his hometown of Akron for at-risk students , helping 1,300 students at a cost of nearly $ 45 million , James said Monday . 
The Trump topic in particular ate up nearly half of his time on the platform , during which James shined a light and sharpened focus on an unwieldy issue that largely has been defined by and debated according to kneeling vs. standing , asserting one 's right to protest vs. respecting America and its flag , and most recently pushing back against or knuckling under to President Trump . 
Where James veered into dicey territory was when he said : "No matter whether you voted for him or not , you may have made a mistake and that 's OK , if you voted for him . 
James was asked if he expected the NFL 's controversy over players ' sideline protests to draw attention to what they feel is racial discrimination in law enforcement , up to and including brutality involving lethal force , to trickle down to the NBA when the league 's 2017-18 regular season begins Oct. 17 . 
It was n't as simple as second-guessing the 1984 Trail Blazers for drafting Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan , which James mentioned . 
"I did n't name-call ," James said . 
The state in which James was born , lives and works -- and the state in which the Cavaliers do business -- was carried by Trump in the 2016 election . 
The current president took Ohio with 51 percent of the vote , compared to 43 who voted for Hillary Clinton , who had the benefit of James ' public endorsement . 
Right there , James nudged the whole issue a bit . 
James at one point eloquently made a case for keeping politics out of sports . 
Asked how he would reconcile the idea of his neighbors , presumably many Cavaliers fans , voting that way , James doubled down .

SOLUTION: LeBron James

PROBLEM: âThe Honors are the greatest weekend of the year  and it is also the bane of our existence  â Deborah Rutter  said with a laugh. For the president of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts  the annual Kennedy Center Honors  airing on CBS on Dec. 26 and honoring dancer Carmen de Lavallade  rapper LL Cool J  television producer and writer Norman Lear and singers Gloria Estefan and Lionel Richie  is a welcome national spotlight on the memorial to the late president. But thatâs all anyone seems to know about the the white jewel box on the Potomac.
âWe really like to think about the other 364 days of the year  and all of the programming that happens on those days â  Rutter  told me in the latest episode of âCape Up.â âWhat I love about being here at the nationâs cultural center is that we have really a mandate to welcome all of the performing arts. It is not just a performing arts center for one assumed art form or another.â
I bet you didnât know that hip hop was one of those art forms at the Kennedy Center and that Q-Tip is its artistic director. âThis is a first â  Rutter  said. âAnd as far as I know  there is no other artistic director for hip-hop â¦ anywhere in probably the world. And weâre very proud to have Q-Tip here leading  guiding and inspiring us.â
While she didnât need much convincing   Rutter  allowed that there could be others who might â for fear of what it could mean for the other arts. âJust because we are bringing in more programming that includes hip-hop artists  it does not mean that weâre doing less dance or less international programming or less of the National Symphony Orchestra â she said. âIt just means that weâre doing more  that we have thrown open the doors of the Kennedy Center  and we are ensuring that all are welcome here.â

There are nine performance spaces at the Kennedy Center that are in use all year. In addition to the orchestra and  the Washington National Opera  Rutter  noted the 46-year-old institution has âa magnificent  world-recognized ballet season. We have contemporary dance  we have jazz  we have a huge jazz series  chamber music  recitals  comedy  international programming.â
Listen to the podcast to hear  Rutter  talk further about the work of the Kennedy Center and how it fits into the cultural life of Washington.  She  goes into what it is like to be the local performing arts center for members of Congress  foreign diplomats and âquite a number of justices from the Supreme Court.â But  Rutter  insists none of those constituencies tries to exert influence over programming.
âHere at the center we have no limits on what we could present â  Rutter  told me. âThe problems I always describe is how to say no  when to say no  and how to not be really  truly overwhelmed by the extraordinary limitless richness of what happens here.â

PROBLEM: Now  one of the most powerful figures in comedy —  Louis C.K. —  has been accused of  and admitted to  sexual misconduct. Five women spoke to the New York Times with consistent stories: The comedian steered professional conversations into frankly sexual areas and  in some cases  ask if he could expose himself to them  and proceed to masturbate.
In a statement on  Friday  Louis C.K.  admitted that the women's allegations were true  and  he  expressed remorse.
Indeed   Louis C.K.  has attained  his  status at the top of the comedy world as a result of  his  willingness to make  himself  appear damaged and vulnerable  building stand-up sets around the frank discussion of  his  sexual hangups and basest urges.
In a 2011 stand-up special   Louis C.K.  talks about  his  "constant perverted sexual thoughts." YouTube
In a world where sex is a go-to comedy topic  women who find themselves the objects of sexual misconduct have little recourse. Comics  after all  are essentially freelancers; no professional infrastructure exists to redress sexual offenses. Several of  the women who talked to the Times about Louis C.K.  spoke of the tremendous power differential  they  felt as comics just embarking upon a career  in contrast to a hugely successful comedian  who abused  his  status as potential mentor.
For years  women have responded to sexual misconduct in the comedy world by creating whisper campaigns to warn other women about sexual predators. This is how the actions of comedians like Louis C.K. and Bill Cosby could attain the status of "open secrets" for years — stories kept within the industry  addressed publicly only obliquely  if at all  out of fear of professional or legal reprisal.
