When LeBron James and many of his peers spoke out politically a few years ago, he was told by Fox host Laura Ingraham to “shut up and dribble.” Recently, NFL quarterback Drew Brees spoke up about peaceful protests and how he thinks kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful to the troops and the flag. As you can imagine, Ingraham showed complete hypocrisy by standing up for Brees’ right to speak and even praised what he had to say.
Today, LeBron was made privy to the viral clip that showcases Ingraham’s hypocritical stances, and he decided to comment on it. As he explained in the tweet below, he won’t stop speaking out against injustice and that some should have already gotten a clue as to why protests are currently ongoing.
“If you still haven’t figured out why the protesting is going on. Why we’re acting as we are is because we are simply F-N tired of this treatment right here! Can we break it down for you any simpler than this right here???? And to my people don’t worry I won’t stop until I see change,” LeBron wrote.
Needless to say, Ingraham isn’t looking too good right now and many in the sports community are rightfully pointing out the flaws in her logic.
