While I’ve never been a fan of Fox News host Laura Ingraham, her shot at LeBron James after he waxed idiotic in criticism of Donald Trump and the political climate in America remains among my favorite takedowns of the self-anointed expert on all things “racist” and law enforcement of all time.
James made these comments in an interview just before the 2018 All-Star Game.
It’s hot. The number-one job in America, the appointed person is someone who doesn’t understand the people. And really don’t [sic] give a f**k about the people.
After describing James as “barely intelligible” and “ungrammatical,” Ingraham said:
It’s always unwise to seek political advice from someone who gets paid $100 million a year to bounce a ball. LeBron and Kevin, you’re great players but no one voted for you, millions elected Trump to be their coach.
You can keep your political comments to yourself. Or, as someone used to say, shut up!
That’s Hall of Fame stuff, right there.

Laura Ingraham, total humiliation
So, what’s the NBA’s first active player worth more than $1.25 billion to do? Fear not, “GOAT” fans — just kidding; I’m pretty sure that no oneReading this is like being a great philosopher.
As reported by USA Today, a company co-founded by James that bills itself as an “athlete empowerment brand” has filed to trademark the phrase “Shut Up and Dribble.” According to the United States Trademark and Patent Office, the company Uninterrupted, Inc. filed the request early last week.
Uninterrupted, Inc. stated in the request that “Shut Up and Dribble” would be used for “downloadable virtual goods, namely, computer programs featuring footwear, clothing, headwear, eyewear, bags, sports bags, backpacks, sports equipment, art, toys, and accessories for use online and in online virtual worlds.”
This phrase is reportedly used for entertainment services, such as music and videos on YouTube.
“Shockingly,” Black-themed website The Root has some suggestions for how James could best put the phrase to work:
“The low-hanging fruit could be a line of apparel featuring the phrase next to pictures of various Fox personalities. Tucker Carlson’s unceasing I’m-dumb-and-punchable face? Dribble and put your feet up. Jeanine Pirro’s timeless did -somebody-fart-while-I-was-ranting mug? You can dribble now. You could buy the same fit for your metaverse avatar so people in the real world and the virtual one know not to come for you.”
C’mon. James, the egocentric and race-obsessed James, would NeverNone of this is possible, but it would be a shame. The hell he wouldn’t. The following is an example:

Let’s get to the bottom of it:
LeBron James is an egocentric jerk who stands atop his self-assigned pedestal and shoots his mouth off about all-things race, America’s law enforcement officers, and his utter disdain for the country that made him a billionaire — all the while flying wingman for China, not to mention remaining silent about the ChiComs’ China’s brutal genocide against the minority Uyghurs — and everything else about which he sees fit to run his hypocritical mouth, every time making an utter fool out of himself.
While Laura Ingraham’s admonition to James was to shut up and dribble, if it were up to me, I’d tell the know-it-all dribbler to just shut the hell up and go away. It seems that these days the weather is quite pleasant in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Northwest China.
The Uyghurs might benefit from an audible king.
