San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich attacked Columbus Day on Friday, slamming his “backward” hometown for marking the day while accusing the famed 15th-century explorer of initiating a “new world genocide” and branding Italian-American support for honoring the day akin to Germans “proud of Hitler.”
After the first-ever presidential proclamation for Indigenous Peoples’ Day — which honors Native American peoples — was issued by President Joe Biden on Friday, Popovich praised the move, which has long been pushed by the left, calling it “appropriate, important, needed and all those sorts of things.”
“Columbus?” he asked mockingly. “I mean he initiated a new world genocide; that’s what he did.”
“Beginning with him and what he set in motion, what followed, [was] the annihilation of every indigenous person in Hispaniola, which was Haiti and the Dominican Republic today, that’s what he did,” he continued.
“He took slaves, he mutilated, he murdered, and we’re going to say ‘slash’ and honor him?” he added. In March last year, the outspoken coach attacked then-President Trump over the U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, accusing him of being a “coward” because of his COVID policies, yet found himself unable to criticize China for its crackdown on the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong or its long record of human rights abuses.
In 2019, he stated that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick “was very courageous” for starting the NFL anthem-kneeling movement. He also called his protest of the anthem “a very patriotic thing.”
In 2017, in response to then-President Trump denouncing national anthem protests, he called the U.S. “an embarrassment,” adding that white people are privileged and “especially” need to be made “uncomfortable” for any change to be made.

Columbus made history for what he accomplished, while Poppy will be lucky to be a footnote. His “fame” may last 15 minutes.
