Should Sports stars have opinions or just shut up and dribble?

A lot are young and haven't seen much. A lot are uneducated. A lot have been in a coddled world since their talent was discovered

Just because you have an opinion it doesn't mean it's informed

 

Yes, I was going to say she should shut up and do whatever she's actually good at, which is not reporting, analyzing, interviewing or speaking. Maybe putting on thick make-up? No, **** -- she has people do that for her.

 

Chris Long's twitter response to Laura Ingraham was great...big-time ownage there. And it's telling that Laura didn't respond to it (as far as I know).

Ingraham is a provocative "entertainer" just like Rush and Hannity. Anyone that takes her seriously is a fool.

Also, the below quote is spot-on, especially the bolded. Oh and I'll note that Laura invited LeBron to come on her show in response to his #wewillnotshutupanddribble tweet.

 

Bold is particular applicable to your post.

 

Just because someone doesn’t agree with someone else’s opinion doesn’t mean that opinion is not informed.

 

I didn't say anything about anyone not agreeing.

I'll give you a second shot bro

Athletes are young. Some are not educated. Therefore some have limited perspective

 

Why limit it to athletes?

I’ll give you a shot here...

News people look for ratings. Many are biased. Therefore some have self serving perspective.

Your little shot you gave me, applies to every single “young” (in quotes because I am not sure of your definition of young) person in the course of humanity.

 

No I'll give you another shot

I'm just answering the question in the original post

But I'll address your ridiculous comparison

One's job is to be informed.

You can start there

 

Laura Ingram's job isn't to be "informed". You can't even find a single investigative journalism piece from her. She is nothing more than a propaganda piece for Donald Trump. Nothing she states is informative. All of her content is to pander to a specific audience.

 

Again I'm answering the original question

Do not know Ingram

 

That's really a sexist comment. If you don't like what someone says why attack their gender and put them down based on
their makeup.

Sexist comment.

 

White knighting a bigot and a loser, nice work.

 

Knowing b-bob's posting style and history I believe he was posting the way that the sexist trump might have posted had it been a left wing or even centrist woman commentator...

 

Hahahaha! I hope you are kidding and are not a liberal PC snowflake or something.
(Men on TV wear makeup too, bro. Lots!)

 

Leave my ese Spencer Tillman out of this! HD technology is a serious issue, brosefs.

 

I meant more so during the game or event. Example taking a knee during the national anthem. I know and understand freedom of speech. Just like you mentioned with social media. There are plenty of others ways to get their message across if they really wanted too. Just no tweeting from the sideline during the game.

I've never really thought of black history month as political as much as informative like breast cancer awareness month.

 

What do you mean by "they can do whatever they want on their time"? Was he posting to twitter during a game you were watching?

 

The Right wing has made black history month very political unfortunately.

 

By their time I mean not on the job. Like my coach said in little league when we put our uniforms on its not about you or me. It's all about the team.

Tweeting durning the game part was a joke.
