Kevin Durant calls Laura Ingraham’s commentary ‘racist’
LOS ANGELES — Speaking at an NBA Cares event Friday at All-Star Weekend, Warriors forward Kevin Durant took issue with a recent Fox News segment in which host Laura Ingraham called for Durant and LeBron James to “shut up and dribble” rather than criticize President Donald Trump.
“It’s just sad to see people who think that way,” Durant told USA Today’s Sam Amick. “It’s weird. It’s not even a place where we should be as humans. …To me, it was racist. What does (skin color) have to do with anything? We all have an opinion, just like she has an opinion that I disagree with.”
