The coach of the San Antonio Spurs thinks the U.S. is an embarrassment to the world.
Gregg Popovich, NBA head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, reportedly made the comment during the teams media day on Monday in regards to the recent battle between professional sports teams and President Trump, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
After being asked about his thoughts on President Trumps tweet on Saturday, in which the president rescinded an invitation for the Golden State Warriors to visit the White House, Popovich reportedly laughed saying, I thought it was comical that it was rescinded because they werent going to go anyway.
Its like a sixth grader is going to have a party in his backyard and he finds out somebody might not come, so he disinvites them, Popovich said. Although its disgusting, its also comical.
After winning the NBA championship last season, the Golden State Warriors were reportedly meeting on Saturday morning to decide whether or not they would accept an invitation to visit the White House in February, according to ESPN. But before they could meet, President Trump tweeted, officially rescinding the invitation.
Popovich also commented on the situation in the NFL, in regards to players protesting during the national anthem. He reportedly said that he would never tell his players what to do in that situation.
Each one of them has the right and the ability to say what they would like to say, and act the way they would like to act, Popovich said. They have our full support. No matter what they might want to do or not do. It is important to them to be respected by us, and there is no recrimination no matter what might take place unless its ridiculously egregious.

Well, in that case Popovich, you should be leaving the country on the very next plane, bus, or car. You don’t belong here and you are not welcome.
Along with putting N Korea on notice finally, (this cease fire since 1960 , wanna get this finished once and for all?) is Kim's choice, he is minding the home front too.
NFL gets political, didn't anyone explain what Trump has done in politics? Now they realize what league they stepped in.
The NBA ..uh, what just happened?? and NASCAR goes oh, what flag is OK? Ol 'Glory?, you betcha!!
Pres. Trump hit a money nerve in the latest slapping of the MSM. The UN is applying ice, China is still trading with us, Russia's taking out ISIS, Paris accords are defunct and fake news is the settled science.
Of all problems, the swamp will be the most challenging and dangerous.
The Commander In Chief is a badass.
......and that’s NBA gone now too. More time for hockey.
In my experience, the NBA fanbase is way more ghetto than any of the other sports. I refer anyone to what happened when the NBA held the all star game in Las Vegas years ago. It was a total debacle. Lots of violence in Las Vegas that weekend. It was just an example of their players and fans. NBA fans will embrace the hell out of the SJW players. It will be nothing like the backlash the NFL is facing.
It’s getting ridiculous. OUR COUNTRY is embarrassing to terrorists, terror appeasers, anti semites, slave traders, Islamists, communists, totalitarians, WHAT??? We have anything to prove to THEM?????
coach of the San Antonio Spursand Demagogic Party nitwit. Thanks conservative98.
That’s another sport/team I won’t watch.
Gee, isn’t a “spur” an instrument of torture to horses? The San Antonio Spurs should be renamed the “San Antonio Inquisitors”.
Call PETA! Screw them all!
These Trump haters have a hate addiction. They can all go to hell where all there is is hate.
Popovich is a cheater. Spurs never own two championships in a row, Spurs were cheating with at least two crooked refs in the 2007 playoffs against the Suns.

F Popovich the piece of sh*t

This POS needs to be catapulted out of the mainland US as fast as possible.

Keep talking, Dipshit! Before long, Hockey will be the only successful pro sport on TV.
The NFL is dead, the NBA is dead, MLB has lost out to watching paint dry.
What you spoiled brat don’t seem to understand is that being a professional athlete once meant taking on the responsibility of being a positive role model to the youth of America. Now, you exemplify the depravity of the ghetto and the left.
You are all FIRED!
Yeah Greg, That is why we have over 12 MILLION Illegal Aliens in the Country!

Uhm, demonstrably not true ...nice try liar...
To this, I reply with a quote sometimes attributed to Oliver Wendall Holmes.
"Your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins."
The players have the right to act in the manner they have chosen, however, they have misjudged where the tip of my nose is located. My "nose" includes respect for my country and its symbols, both flag and anthem. If you bend my nose, I will surely break yours, metaphorically speaking, and the swinging of my own fist is economic in nature. No more NFL or its advertised products for me. This includes the NFL's mainstay advertisers: Visa Inc., Ford Motor Co., Nike Inc., Anheuser-Busch InBev, Microsoft Corp., McDonalds Corp., PepsiCo Inc. and Bridgestone Corp. Damned shame, because I like a Pepsi on ice now and again.
what a white guilt cuck this guy is....these old , white basketball coaches crack me up...like those thugs actually listen to them..I think it was Danny Ainge, years ago, was drawing up this “play” during a time out..and Allen Iverson waited til he got finished then just said “shut up and give me the ball”...lol. They all down with the “struggle”...
He can take his team to North Korea. I’m sure fat boy’s dogs are hungry.
