'I am more than an athlete': LeBron James responds to Laura Ingraham who told him to 'Shut up and dr

lines like this only perpetuate the stereotype that all Trump supporters are racist bigots - did you really have to throw that in there ?

 

“The No. 1 job in America, the point of person, is someone who doesn't understand the people, and really don't give a f--- about the people," James said.

^^^WTF does that even mean??^^^

 

Yeah, sure.

I don't need political opinions from people who believe things like we beat France in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War was fought in the 1980's, or the telephone was invented in the 1990's.

Most Americans can't even name the three branches of government, and I'm supposed to listen to their political opinions? Ridiculous.

 

Well said, and I couldn't agree more.

 

Is there really an individual out there who is so disturbed that they take political direction from Lebron?

 

Kind of hilarious for every Tom, Dick and Harry on the internet to give their opinion about other people on the internet giving their opinions ...

"You don't have the right to give your opinion on the internet! That's my job!"
Cute.

Really ****ing stupid, but cute.

 

So good to hear that you REJECT the opinions of 99% of the RW BS Factory.

On, and back on topic, LeBron James is free to have an opinion.

I am sorry if you ha e a problem with that.

 

Yup opinions are like ass-holes in that everyone has one

 

It's not racist to call someone a neanderthal, that word gets used a lot when talking about uneducated dolts. And I certainly can't call him a white neanderthal, can I? The people who refer to Trump as the Orange Cheeto, are they racists? It's probably true that if this guy couldn't dribble he'd be the world's tallest janitor - that's where his education and intellect end. I have no patience for people like him, the kneelers, the liberal Hollywood morons who think their opinion is somehow important because they have a microphone and a platform. James was anti Trump since day one.

 

The Right keeps telling us these "academes" are STUPID, and that women, like blacks, only get anywhere because of affirmative action or sleeping their way to the top.

 

According to quite a few nationalists and RWers on here a woman's place is in the home, doing house work and rearing children. According to these people, women should not involved themselves in political matters, and shouldn't even vote. Y'all change your tune now? Hilarious.

 

I think youb are just projecting!

LeBron James has accomplished virtually everything on a basketball court and now says he’s ready for another challenge — earning his college degree.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star told Ohio.com that he will pursue his diploma during his free time and already has picked a university.

“I’m signed up at the University of Akron for whenever I’m able to get a little bit of down time,” James said. “That’s always been a conversation that took place — to take some college courses, take some classes. So right now I just do a lot of reading, book reading, and obviously I’m around some really good people that I kind of take their knowledge and sort it into my mind.”

 

Exactly! Ingraham should shut up and get dinner ready.

 

Can someone tell me why the only well-publicized opinions we hear from high profile athletes or entertainment celebrities are those who trash Trump or any conservative initiatives? 1) Because the Lebrons, Popovich coach of the Spurs, Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro types are “protected” by their industries (and the media) and know they will get cheered on for their “courage.” LOL

Of course the mainstream media will dote over them and slam any luminary who dares speak up defending Trump or having a Christian moral view. Not to mention all these show-offs do not dare debate someone in the know from the other side. Just mouth off or kneel at the flag in opposition to long held values and traditions.

IOW, they are phonies empowered by the left hating Trump world and taking no risks in being hateful zealots about it. I am sure if Lebron wanting to come on Laura’s show she would gladly have him.

 

That speaks more of you than them. Seriously.

 

And yet you voted in a guy for President with far less accreditation than hers ... a game show host who can barely string together a complete sentence. What's up with that?

 

The left has it's La Brons and the right has it's Kid Rocks and Ted Nuggents ... perhaps you should put down that brick and add a mirror to that glass house of yours.

 

You made that up.

 

One would think with all that education she received she could get facts correct. I mean really? LeBron left school a year early? No he didn’t. I mean his Sr basketball games were all over TV as they travelled the country playing high profile games.

 

Answers like yours make me sigh and wonder if it is all even worth it.

For every right wing vocal celebrity or athlete there are 100 on the left.
And guess which ones are fawned over by the media and which ones get vilified?
The disparity is palpable. Our side has blemishes, your side has an epidemic.

Because "exceptional" americans have been indoctrinated to divide themselves up into subgroups and see their subgroup as "exceptional" to the others. In this manner the authoritarian ruling aristocracy escapes query.

 

Exactly. And by saying, shut up and dribble, she got it

 

Yes, in the polling booth. Other times, just feeding themselves and their family will do nicely.

 

"I am more than an athlete"

Nah, that's pretty much all you are, LeBron. Just an athlete with a bit more fame who thinks said fame means we have to give added weight to your opinions. Sorry dude, you're no better than anyone else on this planet.
