She's got in their head. She has now invited Bron on the show. $500 that he won't come on and use something about race why he won't....

Stupid that this is a controversy in the first place. LeBron said what he said and Laura called him on it. Is LeBron not a big boy? Can he not handle it?

Lebrun is such a dumb bitch, the high school education shows with this idiot. He would get absolutely crushed by Ingraham, all he would do is fall back on race bullshite.

SJW Chris long said he was going to tweet at her every time they had a celebrity on to talk politics. Well dipshit, FNC is a political network. ESPN isn't. I have an irrational hate for that self loathing piece of leftist garbage

I'm a Cavs fan, LeBron is my favorite player and was going to his basketball games before he was even a household name in high school.

That being said, I had no idea about this LeBron and Durant video or whatever until Laura's diatribe and I only see it mentioned as it relates to her.

So for someone who wants them to shut up, she sure give the thing she wants them to shut up about a lot more exposure.

But even though I don't particularly like LeBron's statements, why do people care so much when celebrities express their opinion and insist they shut up? Criticizing the views is completely understand, but it always seem hypocritical to express an opinion that someone shouldn't express an opinion.

On a related note, I have to hand it to Laura here. She clearly was searching for attention. Obviously she getsgood ratings because of the Network, but she trailed Lawrence O'Donnell in the key 25-54 demo, so going after players in a sport popular with that demographic is a good ratings ploy.

Anybody have a short summary of the feud? Why are overgrown, uneducated men picking on a woman?

Ingram's attach on LeBron was completely bush-league. i can't remember seeing a more virulent personal attack on TV, ever.

This was some of her diatribe:
quote:

LeBron's' "R-rated" take on Trump was "barely intelligible, not to mention ungrammatical,"
quote:

Look, there might be a cautionary lesson in LeBron for kids. This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the NBA.
quote:

And it's always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball.
(the stupidest remark you will see all year)

I assume that this was more or less a click bait ratings ploy, but she went completely rogue. And her usual whiny, semi-shrill voice made her even more an irritant.

Can't he just send one of his posse to debate for him?

LeBron, your ignorance is showing. Shut up and shoot hoops.

Laura is so terrible. Got introduced to her on the sideline before a Bama football game a few years ago and she got offended I didn't know who she was. I honestly had no clue who she was at the time.


Lebron should tell her to kick rocks. Going on her stupid show only gives her credibility. God forbid athletes have political opinions.

I wonder what the reaction would have been from the MSM if 2 NASCAR drivers made the same video about Obama?

I think we ALL know the answer.

Immediate protest,call for boycotts,going after sponsors,etc.

LeBron is such a whiny bitch! The problem with most of these celebrities is they surround themselves with nothing but yes people so they are actually deluded into thinking the general public cares about and wants to hear their shitty opinions.

I don't really care about the feud and this is the first I've even heard about it

But it does amuse me that anyone listens to LeBron or Kevin Durant. I mean honestly speaking I think it would be accurate to say that in the last 10 years I have never been in a room of people where LeBron and Durant wouldn't have been the two stupidest ones there if they arrived.

If they are ever correct it's by accident

I don’t agree with Lebron, but what exactly makes her more qualified to share her opinion than him?

This is nothing new, most athletes are fricking morons that talk out of their arse.

Either one of those dipshits would get destroyed if they went on her show, and I don't even like her.

Would love to see Tucker take them on
