He didn't say anything inflammatory or outrageous, was asked a question and he answered. What's the big deal about his political stance we all have one. If his politics some how affected people it would be different but sitting your staters for the last week of the season is a bigger issue than his politics.

i dont care either, i dont even vote. I have followed this election a little more than usual, however. Trump deserves ridicule though for how he has acted.

Sounds like he has an opinion, that's good. I'd argue pop is doing exactly what he's pissed at Trump for doing, pandering in his own self interest.

I'm not going to shite on him, but it's not going to alter my opinion.

i agree with his criticisms of trump, but i really dont understand how he thought the "march" was great though.

he really didnt do a good job of explaining that either...people marched because trump is immature? i just dont get it

Never mind that is exactly what Trump did.

Used his celebrity status to belittle Obama


Trump was out of line, too. I have no problem calling a spade a spade just because I voted for the guy

Pop coaches my city's team. Just focus on what got you your fame in the first place and quit ticking off half of your supporters (which he'd inevitably do whether he supported Trump or bashed him).

That was a well thoughtful answer, you just don't agree with it. If did his interview wearing MAGA hat talking about how great trump is you would be talking about how badass Pop is for liking trump.


I think I've made it clear that that's not the case when it comes to me.

Celebs going down the political route always rankles me, whether I agree with their actual stances or not.

Except he gets a podium to force his views down peoples throat.

No one got the press together to hear my views on the Orange man.

LOL

Trump has been made fun of since he began his campaign from the Loons on the Left. I'm no fan of the Orange guy, i think he's a clown, but he was 100000x better than Hillary. And thankfully ODummy is gone

Is what what you think Im doing?

I'm no trump fan, it's just hysterical how these celebrities think that because they're famous that people want to hear their opinions. So frickin arrogant. "Oh, I feel this way about Trump, but I better check and see what Poppovich said first"

People like him because of his coaching, not because of his political commentary. Leave that shite to the tards on Fox and CNN. Belichick gets asked about it and all he says is "we've got a big game coming up." That's how you handle it

This. And from what I've heard, I'd probably agree with Bill's politics. There's just no fricking point, though. His relevance isn't because of his being a political pundit, and there are lays going to be millions of supporters of him and his team who voted opposite of him.

Why don't you just focus on your job too and stop commenting on politics or anything else not related to your job for that matter.


See how silly that sounds?

Your analogy is silly.

Not liking Trump doesn't automatically make you a SJW. Regardless of what you like about Trump, there's plenty not to like about him, for anyone
