Popovich Puts Trump On Blast, Calls Government Shutdown 'Childish'
SA Current ^ | January 22, 2019 | Sarah Martinez

Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has never been one to hold back on his criticism of President Donald Trump, and that's no exception during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

While the Spurs volunteered Monday at the Champions Against Hunger dinner, a fundraiser for the San Antonio Food Bank, Popovich spoke his mind on the government shutdown, now in its fourth week.

"It's just a shame that so many people are affected by what President Trump and our politicians have done. We all know it's really for no good reason," Popovich told reporters. "It's a prop. It's childish. Petty. But everyone else pays."

It used to be that actors and musicians were highest on my “Don’t Really Care/No Influence On My Opinion” list. But for some reason, most people associated with professional sports see to be running a close 2nd.

As a San Antonio native, and a die hard Spurs fan, I can tell you I no longer give a crap about the Spurs.

Pop ought to know better. He’s a former USAF officer. Now he’s a stooge for the leftist idiots.

Also Racial-Pandering dumb

Which is the PRIMARY REASON Popovich pops off

Curious as to how many blacks and “childish” little ones live in Pops’ hood

I’ll bet not many

He should worry more about his Pepperoni Pizza Face

The Democrats shut down the government by voting against HR 695, the Continuing Resolution.

Any minor or forgotten personage can get an instant recharge on their fifteen minutes of fame if they’ll just come out and bad mouth President Trump. Pretty much doesn’t matter who you are, or how long ago you dropped off the radar screen.

Do you think the Spurs can win one more championship before Popovich retires?

Pop: and, just how many jobs and how much real wealth have you created for this nation? How many burdensome and useless regulations have you taken off "We, the People" who create the jobs that bring about the earnings that enable ordinary people to pay for high-priced tickets and unheard-of salaries for coaches and players like you and the Spurs?

It seems the propaganda arm of the DNC (Democrat National Communists), aka the media, will publish anything said about President Trump as long as it’s negative.

How very communist of them.

Was the feckless pos Pop, drunk and doing court ordered community service when he spouted off?

These pukes that coach Black players think kissing their rings or asses is the way to avoid problems with them - wrongo! They only demand more. Look at the scumbag who coaches Golden State. His father was killed serving America honorably in the Middle East, you’d think he’d know up from down but NO he’s just another kiss ass.

Nope. No. Uh-uh. Not gonna happen. Never.

Tim, Tony and Manu are gone. Pop said he would retire when Duncan did. But he lied.

Somebody should tell this moron that Pelosi could end this tomorrow if she was so concerned, AND in the process make the country safer.
