It’s been a rough day on Twitter for poor LeVar Burton. The former star of Reading Rainbow and Star Trek: The Next Generation just so happens to share several letters in his name with LaVar Ball — so this is happening.
LeVar Burton is catching hell on Twitter because people think he’s LaVar Ball
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Throngs of angry President Donald Trump fans are tweeting about LeVar Burton today, thinking he’s the man who went on CNN Monday night to discuss his beef with the president, when in reality he’s the man who encouraged us all to have better comprehension skills.
This isn’t the first time Burton has been confused with Ball. It happened back in March when people were angry at LaVar Ball due to his comments about beating Michael Jordan one-on-one, but this time it’s a lot less fun.
LeVar Burton is doing his best to cope with it all. Poor guy.
Mix-up aside, I’d totally buy anything made by Big Burton Brand.
