LeBron James says he will not shut up, he’s being ‘louder than ever’

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James definitely saw all of the things that folks were saying on social media regarding Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s double standard for getting the opinions of athletes, following her defense of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ statement that people who kneel for the national anthem are “disrespecting the flag.” The juxtaposition of her comments this week and ones from two years ago about LeBron James and Kevin Durant discussing Donald Trump, highlighted Ingraham’s hypocrisy for everyone to see. And LeBron James will not let it die down.

LeBron also went off on Ingraham via his twitter page, saying that he will not slow down or lower his voice until real change happens.

LeBron James has been very vocal, using his massive platform to shine a light on the protests, while several NBA players have been out in the streets themselves protesting against police brutality.
