In 2018, Fox News host Laura Ingraham delivered a diatribe aimed at LeBron James and Kevin Durant, who used an UNINTERRUPTED appearance to say that Donald Trump really doesn’t “give a (expletive) about the people.”
It was then that Ingraham belittled James and Durant with hatred and stick-to-sports vitriol, ending her monologue with, “Keep the political commentary to yourself, or as someone once said, shut up and dribble.”
Guess who defended Drew Brees on Wednesday after the New Orleans Saints quarterback said he “will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country”?
Yup.
Here’s the video of Ingraham telling viewers, “He’s allowed to have his view about what kneeling and the flag means to him. I mean, he’s a person, he has some worth I would imagine. This is beyond football, though. This is … totalitarian conduct. This is Stalinist.”

Notice any differences here? Of course. So much for “shut up and dribble” when it’s Brees who’s speaking out about something beyond his or her sport.
