LeBron James and Megan Rapinoe delight in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win

Emojis and emotion abounded on the social media accounts of LeBron James and Megan Rapinoe -- two of US President Donald Trump's fiercest critics from the sporting sphere -- as they congratulated President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

The NBA and WNBA have been at the forefront of political activism this year especially since the Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum after the death of George Floyd.

Soccer star Rapinoe, who actively supported Biden and Harris, has been embroiled in a bitter feud with Trump since speaking out against social injustices during the Women's World Cup in 2019.

Los Angeles Lakers' star James has passionately promoted voter registration and set up the organization "More Than A Vote" in an effort to combat systemic, racist voter suppression.
