SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke openly Friday about his frustration with Tuesday night's election of Donald Trump as the country's 45th president.

"I'm still sick to my stomach, and not basically because the Republicans won or anything, but the disgusting tenor, tone and all the comments that have been xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic," he said before the Spurs' home game against the Detroit Pistons. "And I live in that country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone. That's the scariest part of [the] whole thing to me.

“xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic”...

He left out “Islamophobic,” or is that included in “racist”?

Have these people been programmed to talk this way? Or is that what they say because that’s all they’ve got?

NBA needs to fall in place with the NFL, and plan for fewer white viewers, as their teams are increasingly filled with black thugs, and white guilt coaches and owners.

Honestly I don’t know why anybody parts with their money$$ to go see these idiots own, coach, or play basketball. The two Texan Nba teams are led by Bad political decision makers.

And I didn’t hear a peep out of Pop Popovich about Hillary getting a pass for breaking laws while others for less serious offenses are in jail. And I didn’t hear a peep out of him how Hillary and the DNC stole the election from B. Sanders. How ironic that Hillary now is blaming J. Comey for her loss.

OK, Popoff-vich, you and your organization dont
automatically get scratched off some free agent’s
list. We get it but how much you going to need
those free agents when there are no more fannys
in the stands to watch them? Never heard of
“wait and see”?

This is what happens to your thought process when you spend your life surrounding yourself with self centered over paid junkies.

Sooner or later your thought patterns have to go to shiite.

Yes, Mark Cuban congratulated President Trump Tuesday night and said he’ll do a good job and Cuban said if he’s needed, he’ll help Trump. Mark is an American...

Here’s fans by race in the three big pro sports:

NFL fans are 77% white and 15% black.

NBA fans are 40% white and 45% black.

MLB fans are 83% white and 9% black.

One of these is different...

I would like him to go into his locker room and ask his players how many voted? Bet two and they probably were minority basketball players. Wonder if he voted? It's time for the old standby, STFU.

He’s going to coach the USA Basketball Team now that Coach K has retired. I think I’ll root for the Aussies in 2020.

It’s a good thing this bastard has never had to go into combat. His snowflake ass would be puking all the time.

There are three Texas NBA teams. Which two are you talking about?

Well, if this special cupcake is upset about an election I’d suggest..
Out! Out! Out! You pansy. You should not be leading anyone, let alone men playing at professional levels of any sport.

Probably white fans dropping off, however.

My list of people I no longer have respect for just keeps growing and growing. Van Gundy, Kerr and now Popovich. It’s no wonder pro sports ratings are on the decline. The NBA will follow the decline of the NFL with one of their own if this keeps up.
