View Full Version : Coach Popovich (My Hero!): Slams Fox News' Laura Ingraham
WAPO: Gregg Popovich slams ‘arrogance’ of Laura Ingraham while praising LeBron James
Popovich slammed Ingraham’s “arrogance” while heaping praise on James, including comparing the latter to the hero of the hit movie “Black Panther.”
Ingraham had reacted negatively to a video in which James and Kevin Durant expressed disdain for President Trump, with James saying that Trump doesn’t “give a f— about the people.” Ingraham described the comments by the two players as “ignorant” and added, “Keep the political commentary to yourself — or, as someone once said, shut up and dribble.”
“To me, when I heard about that, it was just an unbelievable show of arrogance for a talking head to try and tell someone else if they can speak, what they can speak about and when and where to do it,” Popovich told reporters Sunday. He said it was “ludicrous” that Ingraham did “not have a feel for who this guy is.”

Popovich is a very bright guy.
But he uses the NBA bully pulpit as an avenue. Though he probably knows twice as much concerning world affairs and politics as the people who interview him or most of the talking heads on CNN or FOX. So I let him rant. I'm still uncomfortable when folks who have gained fame in areas other than politics and societal functionality speak as experts. They of course are allowed to say what they want. I'm not going to KD on his thoughts concerning his opinions of the electoral college.
What I love most of all is that nobody challenges him back! Trump retaliates against almost anyone, big or small, who criticizes him but not Popovich. I bet Laura Ingraham doesn't go back at him either.

The NBA has consistently catered to a snowflake / uber-liberal base. Pop may be alienating a segment of fans; but he's not swimming out of NBA waters.

Its always people who people tweet about politics 80x a day telling famous people to shut up about politics. like if they were suddenly famous they would shut up about politics :lol
Bitches would be the most obnoxious celebrities imaginable. like an extra retarded hybrid of James Woods and George Takei

It's especially stupid since most of the point of discussing politics(just like arguing anything) is to attempt to convince your counterpart that your stance is correct and theirs is wrong(which will never happen, but people do it all day anyways)..
If they had 1-50 million followers like some of these athletes/celebrities, you better believe all these people telling them to shut up would be pushing their agenda on all their followers as much as possible:lol really, if you actually cared about this stuff, it would be foolish not to take advantage of the power you possess(somebody like LeBron, in particular)..
Jordan is still beloved by conservatives today because he has never spoken a word about a single issue at any point of his life:lol

With that being said, Laura Ingraham's plan worked, tbh..she's received more attention after these comments than she'll ever receive the rest of her life..
Shut up and dribble is even a nice little slogan for her movement:lol

I think you think I'm singing her praises. I think her comment was imprudent. I'm not a fan of people saying not to comment on politics (even if Lebron is a dumbass when it comes to this stuff). I'm saying she has the optics on her side. Lebron needs to stop being a whiny little bitch and thinking he's infallible if he doesn't like it.
And I could give a fuck about the spelling of her name; but I guess you think that's a (desperate) point worth making.

KD should shut up and dribble, right?
Laura Ingraham totally backed down. She didn't want any of Coach Pop.

She ran scared from POP. Did wan't any of that.
Oh, and rmt playing the "education card" is laughable. Isn't education the sign of out of touch elites?

Hardly "education card" - I listed 2 education (lawyer), 2 judicial/political jobs and 2 TALK show host jobs - sounds pretty well-rounded to me - for debating politics - which was the topic on hand.

This is spot on though. They compete with each other to say the more batshit crazy thing to get attention. That is the rights big media problem, it is a race to the bottom.

I like det one. First they'll say that LeBron isn't educated enough to speak on such subjects. Then in the same breath they will refer to colleges/universities as librul indoctrination centers.

lets be real; lebron and 99% of all athletes should just stfu about politics. as if their asses weren't spoonfed through all levels of school to get to the big pay off. they might've worked hard on the court but i doubt they had their heads in the books often if at all. don't fool yourself into believing lebron and the like are some sort of book nerds and valedictorians.

you'd have to ask trump supporters why they voted him in and not some dude on ST who didn't cast a vote at all.
as for lebron and his money... if you think he's making his financial decisions solely then you're delusional.
