Attacking the way black people talk, attacking Lebron for his education, and then telling him to basically shut up isn't really legit criticism.

I understood what they were saying completely. The "coach" part was just saying that Trump isn't a good leader. Lebron throughout his career has done a ton for his hometown... he's probably connected to way more regular people than Trump was pre-campaign. Either way, it's irrelevant if you agree with Lebron and KD or not... they're entitled to their opinions and mocking the way they speak is kind of pathetic.



You don't have to be a bleeding heart SJW to see the racial undertones of her comments.


i don't think his race matters when it comes to the comments she made. stop pretending you can know what other people think and what they are truly implying

I listen to Laura many mornings... I've noticed this sort of thing before. She's probably not conscious of it... just a knee jerk reaction to get triggered when black people don't use correct grammar or express their blunt opinions of her dear leader.

do you think if the same situation happened except they were all white she wouldn't comment on it or her comments would change?

ANd personally I think these athletes should just stick to what they do best and that is play sports.


I'd say the same thing for the rest of the non-'intellectual elite' population. No need for plebs to get caught up in politics or voting or anything.

Almost certainly.

I don't see her criticizing Steve Kerr or Gregg Popovich for their statements, which they've been making for years https://twitter.com/CBSNews/status/964186711797522434

I also don't see her objecting to having random entertainers, performers, and other uneducated non-politicians on her show to give their political opinions.

Now, if the black athletes were saying things she agrees with, that's a different story.

maybe it has nothing to do with race and everything to do with political opinion?

the thing is tho, Lebron and KD would make a top 20 list of most influential people, Kerr and Pop would not.


And I mean its not like Lebron said ' I'm just not a fan of trump', instead he said, "he doesn't care about people, hes a racist, and hes a bad leader, and scary.' Like those are pretty outrageous things to say about someone without really providing anything in the video to explain why you say that or to back it up.

They just abusing their position and influence and should really just stick to what they know, which is basketball.
