Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade and Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long took aim Friday at Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham, who told LeBron James to “shut up and dribble” in light of comments he made about President Donald Trump.
“They use to try and hide it.. now the president has given everyone the courage to live their truths,” Wade posted on Twitter.

Long responded by posting a thread featuring screenshots of entertainers who had previously been brought on the air by Fox News to discuss politics.
And if you reply “stick to sports,” you should probably tune of out Fox News because they’ve got karate guys talking climate change on there. (Which I’m cool with… it’s his right.) Unless it’s just about you needing to feel like you’ve got control of athletes like Lebron.

“I’m sure the network she works for has interviewed a bunch of athletes, just couldn’t find the screenshots quickly,” Long wrote. “The point is, what’s the prerequisite for who can talk politics? So, Fox News folks who agree with Laura… you okay with these segments? (Alec Nathan)
