"In 2003, I wrote a New York Times bestseller called 'Shut Up & Sing,' in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W. Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics. Ive told Robert DeNiro to 'Shut Up & Act,' Jimmy Kimmel to 'Shut Up & Make Us Laugh,' and just this week told the San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich to 'Shut up & Coach.' If pro athletes and entertainers want to freelance as political pundits, then they should not be surprised when theyre called out for insulting politicians. There was no racial intent in my remarks - false, defamatory charges of racism are a transparent attempt to immunize entertainment and sports elites from scrutiny and criticism. Additionally, we stated on my show that these comments came from an ESPN podcast, which was not the case - the content was unaffiliated with ESPN."


Well said. Fair, next.

are you out of your fuckin mind? she has no right to dictate who does and doesn't get to voice their political opinion.

Well said. Also, gee what a surprise, she gets up in arms about all these people with different political views than her!

Perhaps she should take a stand against her own network, which has frequently featured such well qualified guests as:
Ted Nugent - musician
Curt Schilling - athlete
Kid Rock - musician
Clint Eastwood - actor, director
Donald Trump - real estate mogul, reality tv star

and plenty of others


Precisely. Her own network will promote the views of similarly unqualified individuals, so long as they're toeing the party line.

LeBron is very outspoken about his dislike of Trump, and that's why she goes after him. She attacks his education, which hasn't hampered his success in the least, nor is it an indicator of his intelligence.

LeBron started with nothing and created his fortune; he's an American success story.

Trump was gifted hundreds of millions of dollars from his father to use as a launch pad.
