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

I don't even know who Ingraham is. I just find it ridiculous for athletes and entertainers pretending to be the Dalai Lama.

 

His policies are rehash/rethread from other republicans' policies. Nothing new, or earth shattering about them.

 

For the same reason you think yours is.

People like LeBron James? Not so much. He is qualified to throw a ball through a hoop, and that's about it.

Ingraham earned a B.A. degree from Ivy League Dartmouth and a law degree from University of Virginia.
And LeBron James? Well, he graduated from high school...period!

As a citizen James has a right to voice an opinion. But we aren't required to respect it or pay attention.
People don't buy overpriced tickets to NBA games for the wisdom of the athletes. You ought to realize that somehow.[/QUOTE]

Basically what Ingraham is saying is, "shut up and put that ball in the hoop Nword".

 

....but you enjoy right wing talk show host who have never held a public office that are political experts, who have never served a day in the military but they are military experts.

 

Such as who? You must watch those folks a lot.

 

Yes they are most always chicken hawks.

 

I'm still waiting on an answer. You got examples?

 

What I wondered upon hearing this is what makes a kid that never finished high school such an expert on what it takes to make a president? Does the dribble count in politics?

 

.................and yet he has more money and more businesses than many that do have. Please tell me what public office has Laura Ingraham held that makes her an expert on being the President.

 

"Basically what Ingraham is saying is, "shut up and put that ball in the hoop Nword"."

LOL. Race card!

So, you confess to not having a rational argument. OK.

 

Meaning it was stupid

 

You listen to her then. I've heard the entire playbook, it's all emotional diarrhea BS, there's nothing there but more power structure division of the masses horseshyte.

Big deal, she got the same education all your other distractionary obfuscation elites did.

 

She presents as more of an expert on what basketball players comments amount to.

Recall, Lebron makes money, but he simply refused to finish high school. I heard his comments and frankly lost what he was attempting to say in his lack of language skills.

 

I think mine is because
I use reason, facts and intellect to support whatever I say.
I don't have a legion of jock sniffing fan boys propping me up. I earn it.

I actually like LeBron James personally, or did at one time, but after so much time having everyone around him acting like he's some exceptional human being because he plays basketball well he's succumbed to the great vanity of fame and he actually thinks his thoughts have some mysterious value because they are all his.

It's interesting that the "brilliant" LeBron says the president doesn't give a f***
about or understand the people doesn't mention that black employment is flourishing under Trump. http://usafreepolitics.com/black-employment-trump/

If this is Jame's view of the state of the nation why should anyone listen to his
childish whining? And if this is what he thinks of Trump how much less than Trump did Obama care for the people? LeBron never mentions that.

No! That's what YOU are claiming Ingraham is saying. And it's fairly ordinary, third grade level repugnant trash from the left. But that's how they operate.

 

is that what you think about Trump and his supporters.. lol, I think Trump is our biggest snowflake of them all, such a fragile ego

 

Althletes spend there whole day honing their knowledge and skill in a specific sport. Ingraham spends her whole time learning and honing her skill in political issues and further has a team to help in that.
Athletes and movies stars dont have the time to hone such knowledge and dont have a team to help them in politics.

Im going to teach my kids to take advice and to admire the intelligent and the wise of our society not the popular.

 

Just an athlete. And a businessman, philanthropist, and social activist.

 

Sure , Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Medvid, Buchanan, Bennet..... never served in the military..

 

So you hate freedom of speech, or just when that speech goes against his orangeness?

 

Yet there are thousands of people who have more experience than Ingram in politics and law who would disagree with her stance on many issues - yet you ignore them because they are less popular and less in the public eye ... so I'm going to call a major BS on your post.

 

The little that I've listened to them (Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly), they are mostly talking about the coup the left is trying to pull off (with our own DOJ & intelligence agencies I might add).
The rest of that fodder listed, I never watch or listen to, most I've never heard of. Some of us get our news everywhere and filter out the BS. Everyone should try that once in a while.

 

I do not regard that gang nor Chris Mathews, or Madcow, nor that ilk as
News people...

There is no coup and our DOJ or our intelligence agemncies would never attempt nor even think about a coup.

 

Yeah, I'm thinking that when you ask a hundred people to name in one word what LeBron does, "athlete" or permutations thereof will be the answer a hundred times out of a hundred.

If your point is that in a literal sense people are not merely one thing, sure. But let's not fool ourselves; the only reason he can be any of the other three things to any significant degree that you listed is because he's successful and famous at the first.

 

"Coup"? You understand the concept of hyperbole, right? They use it to drive up ratings - not as something to be taken seriously. It's called the entertainment industry. You wouldn't take the Flintstones as a documentary would you?

 

Tom, I couldn't disagree more. It's the left who operate on emotions. Examples:

It takes a lot of emotion to protest and riot
It takes a lot of emotion to engage in violence
It takes a lot of emotion to tell people what bathrooms to use
It takes a lot of emotion to shut down a pizzeria in Indy because of gay marriage
It takes a lot of emotion to force out the CEO of Mozilla
It takes a lot of emotion to tear down statues
It takes a lot of emotion to march down the street and chant for dead cops
It takes a lot of emotion to support illegal immigration
Your party is all about feelings and that's emotion

I can go on, but you can see the emotions the left feeds off of and that emotion is hate
