They play basketball. Stick to your area of expertise. Merely because one can shoot a ball, catch a pass, sing a song, or repeat lines written by others doesn't mean they're knowledgable enough to provide an informed commentary on other topics. Same for Steisand. Same for Alec Baldwin. Same for Chelsea Handler. Stick to your area of expertise. That's all Ingraham meant. She wasn't saying they CAN'T.

You know god damn well if conservative athletes were talking shite about Obama like this the media would be crucifying them right and left. Political speech from celebrities and athletes is only tolerated in the mainstream media if it's left wing. Right wing voices are bullied into silence.

@IAmReality, Amen to that brother. The left only wants free speech if it fits their narrative.

flash80•74 months

He has said nothing racist, these morons are sheep that have no understanding of anything.Hopeless fools following a narrative that is both false and idiotic, and with their "usage" of the English language maybe they should open a book now and then instead of just calling everything racist that they do not agree with. ....

It's always funny to ask them to pull a direct quote and they never seem to have one.

He went after the family of a war hero because they were Muslim.

Gumbo1•74 months

@Faliz18, you must be a connoisseur of CNN's fake news. BTW, are you right handed but only wipe your arse with your left?

randybobandy•74 months

Why would anyone care what a basketball player thinks about politics? Unless you are a political scholar, IDGAF what your opinion is. I would guess neither of these former scholars graduated from high school.

shel311•74 months

Not a good look when you want to call an athlete a dummy by calling him a "jumb dock"

idlewatcher•74 months

Agreed, but it's not one sided either

DoubleDown•74 months

Oh my God, they had an opinion! How dare they! ... Now back to my opinion show...

atltiger6487•74 months

You're missing a massive difference: Ingraham's JOB is to have an opinion. Lebron's job is to play ball. I doubt Ingraham would come out with serious opinion pieces about the NBA - she sticks to what she knows. Lebron and other entertainers (black, white, green, and blue) should do the same. That's her entire point. And she wrote a book about this 10 years ago called "Shut Up and Sing."

El Campo Tiger•74 months

She's a big fan of Brandon Ingraham, though.

Chadaristic•74 months

Never heard of her before, but she seems like an a-hole in general. And I don’t understand why people get mad/offended when a musician or an athlete gives their opinion on something political. Just because they have the talent/money/lifestyle that 99% of us regular folks don’t have, doesn’t waive their right to have an opinion on matters. They just have a larger platform than some goofball on PT.

Datbayoubengal•74 months

Lol, like what she is doing is changing the world. Her opinion is no more impactful than his. Another thing, why didn't she speak up when the coaches talked about Trump? Yeah I get it, black athletes should just shut up and play ball right?

Balloon Huffer•74 months

You mean ...all athletes should shut up and play ball?? So strange that the one race that is always crying racism, is the one race that sees skin color over everything.

atltiger6487•74 months

Where did Ingraham ever mention race? She's blasted other entertainers like Alec Baldwin, Barbra Steisand, etc. Playing the race card where it's not warranted is a very very bad thing.

reo45•74 months

All she had to do was laugh at the whole stupid segment and ahe would have won. That was a ridiculoua diatribe. She is a d-bag.

RamboMizzou•74 months

If athletes can't have opinions on politics, than politicians(including the president) shouldn't have opinions on sports.

GumboPot•74 months

Both should have opinions. Just don’t get your feels hurt when someone counters your own opinions.

YStar•74 months

She should shut up and make us all sandwiches.

doya2•74 months

What did the POTUS say?

GumboPot•74 months

That’s the thing. They have no clue what the POTUS said. They just talk about the president’s racial language because of feels. Nothing real. All fake.

Bustedsack•74 months

I like her and I laughed at this. I ran good two.

5Wide•74 months

She's right you know.

TampaTiger22•74 months

How is she right? You tell us your dumb arse opinion, then you should shut up and gfy.

5Wide•74 months

These ballplayers are barely literate idiots. They should stick to what they know and leave the politics to people that can read chapter books LOL

RamboMizzou•74 months

Also, fox news has had curt Schilling on multiple times... You don't hear them telling him to shut up and throw a baseball.

TampaTiger22•74 months

They have had numerous white losers. Kid rock, schilling, gene Simmons, john voigt. I could name many more bags. 1 and 3 trump supporters are just as stupid as the other 2

Skinny•74 months

Seriously though has anyone tagged more elite newswomen trim then Olbermann? He had Ingraham in her prime. He was with Katy Tur for a while. I salute him.

Sao•74 months

What a poor little delicate petal Laura is. Nice wilt.

Hogtomistic•74 months

These crybabies whining about athletes/celebrities criticizing Trump are the same ones who call them patriots and leaders when they compliment Trump.

Drizzt•74 months

No they are all generally pretty dumb

PhilipMarlowe•74 months

I don’t make a habit out of giving a frick about what dumb cvnts think, but I did enjoy that melt.
