Mike Krzyzewski--parroter of left wing talking points.
Posted on 01/11/2021 8:28:08 AM PST by MarvinStinson
The sight of supporters of President Trump storming the US Capitol have sparked horror and outrage across the sports world, but hit especially hard for a West Point graduate watching from home.
Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski launched into an extended tirade about the riot at the Capitol.
Alternating between saddened, perplexed and outraged, he discussed Wednesday’s events, the COVID-19 pandemic and current political situation:
The sorriest day — I’m 73 years old — outside of 9/11, shootings at schools where kids have gotten shot and killed. And by the way, I know everyone went under desks and that at the Capitol. I’d like to ask how many times have teachers had to do that at school when there’s gun violence?
It was an insurrection. It went to the very fabric of this great country; the symbol for our democracy is that Capitol, and we allowed that symbol to be really just spit on and stepped on.
My prayers go out to the officer’s family who was killed from the Capitol police, just like my prayers go out to the 16,000 families that have lost loved ones in this last week. Are you kidding me? There’s 16,000. What the hell are we doing? Where we can’t work as a country to come together and get these vaccines out, makes sure that we’re coming together. And if someone’s doing something bad, Congress has the responsibility of stepping forward.
Krzyzewski urged for the country to move past partisanship:
Everyone who was involved, they should be prosecuted. And our leaders, our politicians who spoke up in support of that, should be chastised. This is not about being a Republican or a Democrat, it’s about being a damn American. Our country needs to be a team again.

Screw Off
But the same people that rioted and looted and destroyed property in the cities this summer get off with nothing. And even got bailed out if arrested.
Go Tar Heels.
Never liked Coach K. One of the biggest phonies out there. Big-time college basketball and football are a joke and should be abolished. I’d be willing to bet that 95% of K’s players over the years had no business being “students” at Duke. They were there as chattel, earning hundreds of millions of dollars for the university and the NCAA (and, of course, personally enriching Coach K). Sure, a few of the kids parlayed that into pro basketball riches. A few. A very few.
ROFL!!!!
There you go, Timocrat!!!! Well said...
He won’t speak out against BLM because he fears for his job. West Point or not, he is a coward.
You think they’re any better? All basketball coaches are “woke”.
INSURRECTION:
MORON:
Mainly, I agree. I’ve seen video where some were let in by the Capital Police, but others broke in and they should be prosecuted. But let’s then prosecute the left wing people who do this sort of thing on a regular basis. Last week was the closest thing I can remember to a right-wing riot, and it’s a stretch to call it a riot, much less an insurrection.
There was a police officer killed the other day. How’d that happen?
Just another guy that has obviously been in a Com for the past four years.
He looks like an asshole.
COMA
Two words. Lacrosse team.
I measure riots by numbers of buildings burned, number of TV’s looted, number of statues toppled.
A bunch of people quietly walking between the velvet ropes is not really a riot, nor an insurrection. Especially if the police pulled the barriers out of their way to enter.
But that’s just me.
There may be some “criminal trespass” charges coming for those that actually trespassed. But trying to prosecute someone for simply being there is like trying to prosecute someone for being a resident of Seattle because someone knocked off a liquor store there, so all people are guilty.
That’s not how the law works outside of a banana republic, the Soviet Union or a dictatorship. YMMV
I want that Lego set.
Instead of talking politics, you’d better start worrying about how sh*tty your basketball team is....
I can go on now. I was wondering where Coach K stood on this.
As a Fan, You need to stick to coaching!
