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.

Lebron is a moron. Someone got in his head a while back and convinced him that he's supposed to be outspoken on social issues. It would be OK if he knew what he's talking about.

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.

Did LeBron respond other than saying he won't shut up?

I know Durant responded and mentioned race, and other players (D-Wade, Jaylen Brown, etc.) have stories about their criticisms it from a quick Google search. But I don't see anything other than a "I won't shut up" from LeBron.

So I'm not sure why the criticism is all about LeBron's when Durant and a slew of other players seems to have said much more about it.

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?

LeBron and Durant made a video that said Trump doesn't care about the people (with more profane language). I mean nobody should ever confuse Trump, with an altruistic individual so it was probably one of the more accurate criticisms.

Then Laura went on a rant and told them to "shut up dribble." Durant and others said it came of as racist. LeBron said he won't shut up.

It's all kind of like ridiculous, and all sides are acting like a bunch of snowflakes.

Just another reason to hate the NBA. Marginally educated people being spokesmen for a cause.

Well Laura gave the "cause" much more exposure. But all they said this time was Trump doesn't care about the people so this seemed like a strange criticism to take a stand against since there were plenty more ridiculous ones out there.

Regardless, it all seems hypocritical. Anyone who says a celebrity should just shut up and not express his/her opinion is expressing an opinion. Opinions are largely worthless anyways, but I just can't understand how one can think it's logical to express an opinion that one can't express an opinion.

It's all entertainment.

Although I find it amusing when so many here argue that celebrities should shut up and keep their opinions to themselves then get all excited and supportive when James Woods tweets his opinions.

You’re suffering from a severe melt. 2/3 of the posts on the first page is you declaring your love for Lebron.

Also....

You’re a phag

Its a non-story really, just stupid bickering, but there are a lot of people calling Laura Ingraham racist for calling him out.
