Jaylen Brown, Kyrie Irving speak out against Fox News host’s ‘shut up and dribble’ comments

Celtics teammates Jaylen Brown and Kyrie Irving were among several NBA players who addressed the controversial comments Fox News host Laura Ingraham made during a recent episode of her show, The Ingraham Angle.

“Who’s to say because you’re just a basketball player, or you are a basketball player, who’s to say you can’t chime in on other subjects or other important topics?” Brown questioned during his All-Star Weekend media availability.

Ingraham, a conservative political commentator, made headlines after she told LeBron James to “shut up and dribble” for his “barely intelligible” and “ungrammatical” take on President Donald Trump.
