LeBron James Hits Back At Laura Ingraham Over 'Shut Up And Dribble' Comment
almost 8 years in Huffpost
NBA star LeBron James just delivered a blunt message for Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
Earlier this week, the “Ingraham Angle” host had criticized Cleveland Cavaliers player James and Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant over a video in which James called out President Donald Trump for not giving “a fuck about the people.”
Ingraham told the athletes to “shut up and dribble” and to “keep the political commentary to yourself.”
On Friday evening, James responded with this tweet:
#wewillnotshutupanddribblehttps://t.co/LyenGRKTUE— LeBron James (@KingJames) February 17, 2018
He signaled his intention not to stand down with the hashtag #wewillnotshutupanddribble.
Ingraham replied soon after with this invite:
Hey King, Come play on my Court next week. You’re invited on the show anytime. https://t.co/CpXRl5jGzQ— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) February 17, 2018
James has yet to RSVP.
Other sports stars had chimed in against Ingraham over the past week, including the Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade and recent Super Bowl LII winner Chris Long of the Philadelphia Eagles.
I’ll be replying to my own tweet with a collage of your network allowing political commentary from a few folks. https://t.co/WUGl1WQSLE— Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) February 16, 2018
