“The climate is hot,” James replied. He said that for the “No. 1 job in America,” the “appointed person” is “someone who doesn’t understand the people, and really don’t give a f— about the people.”

He was also being one when he defended the Chinese Communist Party . You know the ones with the concentration camps for Uyghurs? And who were shutting down Churches and arresting Christians never to be seen again? He was upset because Americans expressed support for the protesters in Hong Kong who simply want to retain basic freedoms they have enjoyed for over 100 years. It was costing him money.

Laura Ingraham wrote a book titled "Shut up and Sing" when she criticized the lunatic ravings of Hollywood elites and singers. The vast majority of them white. So she used a similar turn of phrase to criticize Lebron James. What else could she use? Shut up and shoot a free throw? If he was a golfer who said the same stupid comment it probably would have been Shut Up and putt.

This is what Drew Brees said:
“I will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.”

Can you see the difference in tone and respect between their two stated opinions?

Probably not. It is so much easier to brand people with whom you disagree with as racists rather than engaging them in a Socratic fashion.

Wrong, the difference is right there in front of anyone...who wants to see.

You say that LeBron "was being a complete (fill in the blank)," but Brees "tone and respect" makes his voice/comments more legitimate...which is pure BS.

LeBron has done a whole lot to help communities & education, using his personal money and giving his personal time.

Laura Ingraham has a well-deserved reputation as being a racist/bigot with her even promoting a white supremacist on her show...in which she lost an advertiser.

Her own brother, who is gay (and everyone knows how she feels about gays also)...says it was probably inherited.

'''She'''s a monster''': Laura Ingraham'''s gay brother lashes out in interview

"She's a monster."

“Our father was a Nazi sympathizer, racist, anti-Semite and homophobe,” Curtis Ingraham, who is gay, wrote alongside a video of his sister.

“Like father like daughter?”

So no, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows exactly what Ingraham stands for...and it's NOT racial equality.


P.S. Brees was big enough to admit that he made a mistake with his tone-deaf original statement and apologized, but you'll never see an Ingraham or others of her disgusting ilk...doing the same.
