San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich hasn't been shy about discussing hot-button political issues.
On Sunday before the Spurs' game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he took aim at Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who voted with Republicans to block the advancement of a sweeping voting rights bill that was supported by Democrats and U.S. President Joe Biden. The vote Wednesday night to end debate on the bill was shot down, 51-49, with every Republican voting against moving the bill.
Popovich's comments came after being asked about Juneteenth becoming a national holiday.
"As many have said, it’s been time, it’s past time for hardball,” Popovich said. "The Republican Senate will just not participate, they just will not. So, whatever can be done needs to be done. And Sinema and Manchin, they get it, but they don’t get it. They know what’s going on. They understand. But there are more important things to them, and it’s damn selfish and dangerous to our country."

On second thought.... just shut up.
Is he saying the last the last election was corrupt?
Virtue signalling, of course. He’s gotta patronize his players somehow.
How many communists are masquerading as Democrats in the education community?
Xi told him to say that.
Educators and sports personnel.
Yeah...we should all listen to sports coaches....NOT.
Passage of the “Freedom to Cheat Act” is what would have been dangerous to the country.
He needs to go to China.
All of the NBA need to go to China.
I remember when the Spurs were the toast of FreeRepublic. I’m laughing now!
It seems to me, people are cranked off that there exists Dem senators who do not automatically cede their votes to Chuck Schumer.
I think they would all be happier if Sinema and Manchin were to simply change party affiliation.
Problem solved!
So he must have really hated John McCain????
“Sportsball hero”
Whenever I need sensible political analysis I always turn to a basketball coach.
Because famous people (coaches, movie stars, etc.) - they know everything about everything!
I’d like to say more, but my old Black & Decker power drill isn’t working. So I’m going to write Leonardo DiCaprio and get his opinion on the matter.
On second thought.... just shut up.
I wonder how that A hole, ever managed to graduate from the Air Force Academy?
This guy is a real CLOWN .
GET RID OFHIM SO HE CAN RUNNAS A DEMOCRAT FOR CONGRESS.
Its simple. Gregg likes cheating as long as it benefits him. That is a great attribute for professional coach. Folks have every opportunity to vote without having to open the process to vagueness, insecurity and fraud.... all which exist if the “voting rights” bill ever passed. We all saw it with our eyes in 2020.
There was a Commie at West Point, and seditionists in the US military during Trump's terms.
He's always been an anti-American Commie, apparently.
Whoever it was that smashed his face on the basketball court, so many year ago ... , We thank you!
