Laura Ingraham Says Drew Brees is 'Allowed to Have an Opinion', but Says LeBron James Should Shut Up

Hmmmm.....what's the difference between LeBron James and Drew Brees?

Can't quite put my finger on it.....

After Telling LeBron to ‘Shut Up and Dribble,’ Laura Ingraham Says Drew Brees ‘Allowed to Have an Opinion’
By Leia IdlibyJun 4th, 2020, 1:59 pm


Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who once told LeBron James to “shut up and dribble,” defended New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ stance against anthem kneelers, adding that “he’s allowed to have an opinion.”

In 2018, Ingraham told Lebron to “shut up and dribble” and to “keep the political commentary to yourself,” responding to his claim that President Donald Trump doesn’t “give a f*ck about the people.”

Apparently walking back on her opinion that athletes should stay away from political commentary this week, Ingraham expressed that she was deeply upset that Brees received backlash for saying he “will never agree” with Colin Kaepernick’s form of protesting.

“He is allowed to have his view about what kneeling and the flag means to him. He is a person. He has some worth, I would imagine,” Ingraham said on Wednesday night. “I mean, this is beyond football though. This is totalitarian conduct. This is Stalinist.”

If you're a celebrity and a liberal, you should shut up and sing, act, write, ect.

If you're a celebrity and a white winger, you should be given as many interviews on Fox news as possible, to hear what you have to say.
