NBA Coach Gregg Popovich: ‘The flag is irrelevant. It’s just a symbol…”
To San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, being in the NBA isn’t enough. He has to be at the center of the political and cultural debates happening across the nation today. Unfortunately, he echoes the sentiment of many elite, entitled progressives that America is terrible and anyone who disagrees with them must be a Trump-loving fascist.
In a recent interview with Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, Popovich sounded off against those in sports who aren’t aligned with his far-left ideology. The popular sports figure who majored in “Soviet Studies” in college before acquiring Air Force intelligence training vouched for fellow social justice warrior Colin Kaepernick and went after everyone from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to former Vice President Dick Cheney. He even took time to disrespect the U.S. Flag in the process.
“A smart man is running the NFL. and he didn’t understand the difference between the flag and what makes the country great — all the people who fought to allow [Colin] Kaepernick to have the right to kneel for justice,” Popovich said. “The flag is irrelevant. It’s just a symbol that people glom onto for political reasons, just like [Dick] Cheney back in the Iraq war. . . . [Goodell] got intimidated when Trump jumped on the kneeling [and] he folded.”

What a piece of shi! that guy is. Didn’t know he majored in “soviet studies,” but now it makes perfect sense. The guy is a f’ing communist sympathizer (at least).
Buhbye
If it’s irrelevant then K and the rest of the kneelers should have no problem standing.
Between this pop moron, and the player James moron, seems like the communists/commie sympathizers are making their preferences known.
Add the NBA to the NFL for "professional" sports that should be forgotten about.
For sure.
Eff Popovich and the entire NBA! SO sick of this sh*t.
We need that historical pic during wwIi. Or the flag on the moon.
These people hate the country.
They are nothing but a bunch of self-serving reprobates. They’ve willingly let satan use them for his plans.
I’m still waiting for the pro-American coaches and athletes to speak up.
I am from San Antonio.
Hey, Pop, STFU and coach. You want to run for office and spout off your anti-American views, go for it. Until then, do what your were hired to do.
Me too. They wanted the fame, and fortune and center stage.
Now, they are hiding.
No pushback to this Anti-Americanism.
Brees came close, then folded like a cheap soviet suit.
Now THIS is the kind of crap that should get you fired.
MORONS. IGNORE.
Makes my blood boil.
The same flag that marines hoisted on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima? That flag?
I’m part of the flag...Guess I’m irrelevant as well.
The same flag that was planted on the moon.....THAT FLAG..... God I hate these people WHY in the hell don’t they just get them hell out of the country they hate so much!! WHY STAY HERE??
