San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has never been shy when it comes to criticizing President Donald Trump and he continued Monday, calling Trump a “soulless coward.”

According to Dave Zirin of The Nation, Popovich called him Monday to vent after Trump attempted to defend his lack of public statements about the four United States soldiers who were killed in an ambush in Niger.

Speaking Monday his press availability, Trump said: “President Obama and other presidents, most of them didn’t make calls, a lot of them didn’t make calls. I like to call when it’s appropriate, when I think I’m able to do it.”

a large plurality (at least) of NBA fans are black, not other races.

won’t be a boycott of the NBA that is as successful as the one against the NFL.

“That should be popular in San Antonio bashing Trump. Hope they don’t need any Conservative fans.”

Sadly, I’m sure the moron’s statements will be very well received in San Antonio. From what i understand, San Antonio is as leftist as Austin and controlled by La Raza.

Don’t forget, it was San Antonio who foisted the racist, Communist Castro brothers on the US.

Mr. Popovich is wrong. Trump is not soulless. He’s a very caring person. He cares about the American people and he cares about our country. In the face of all lies and opposition, Trump is doing what he said he would do for us who elected him. Mr.Popovich and his ilk are the ones who are soulless. They hate him because he’s not a liberal dish rag, he’s a Man who’s not afraid of everything.

Sent a letter to the Spur suits letting them know that when Poppabitch pops off I have decided to send notes to their sponsors expressing my disapproval.

"...I am hoping to run into Popovich in an airport lobby sometime to knock his teeth out..."


At which time you would be immediately and correctly arrested by local law enforcement.

Any redeeming qualities left in the NBA? Turn off the TV and spend some quality time with your kids and grandkids. They’ll be glad you did.

Yes. And that is what surprises me very very much. This America hating jerk was a Captain in the United States Air Force.

>>.does he not realize that Texas is a REPUBLICAN state or does he not care that his teams fan base voted for Trump<<

I’m afraid that the NBA fan base is very liberal.

The owner of the San Antonio Spurs is Peter Holt. Who was a decorated Vietnam war veteran who earned a Purple Heart.

You would think a man like that would not permit a jack wagon like Popovich to disrespect America.

Not surprising. It’s well known that Cleveland is a democrat stronghold.

I never thought that I could ever lose interest in the NFL, especially the Packers, but it has been incredibly easy. When I heard about Aaron Rodgers’ injury, I just shrugged my shoulders. OTOH, I’ve never cared one whit about the NBA.

The only sport that I follow is College Football, specifically the Crimson Tide.

Well as a die hard Laker fan I beg to differ :-) but you are right since most of the fan base is black, I used to go to Laker games a few years back, it was mixed, but yes mostly black, some Latino and white but mostly black
