Gregg Popovich calls out NBA owners who make political donations to Republicans

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich refused to back down Wednesday when asked about members of the franchise’s ownership group who have made financial contributions to Donald Trump and other Republican politicians who support Trump’s false claims about election fraud in 2020 and legislation critics say would suppress voter turnout among Democrats.
Responding to a question about the police shooting of 20-year-old Black motorist Daunte Wright in a Minneapolis suburb, Popovich on Monday said he wanted to know “what owners in the NBA fund these people who perpetrate these lies.”
One prominent member of the Spurs ownership group who has made donations to Trump and Republican politicians who support him, including Georgia U.S. Senate candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, is former Spurs chairwoman Julianna Hawn Holt, according to an online database maintained by the nonprofit, nonpartisian Center for Responsive Politics.
“I don’t think you need to single out anybody,” Popovich said Wednesday. “In general, one has to question why one would give money to people who participated in that sort of lie, whether it’s people in Texas or any other place. How did they enjoy Jan. 6? How do we enjoy the rise of the extremism we are seeing? And to have politicians who divert attention or out and out lie about it seems to me to be unbelievably dangerous. We are talking about our country, our democracy.”
In about 60 lawsuits Trump’s legal team and his Republican allies filed since the election, only one resulted in a small victory — in Pennsylvania. None of those cases proved the presence of fraud in the 2020 election, the Associated Press reported.
“What purpose does that do to keep people in office that are willing to out and out lie about things they know are untrue and dangerous for our society?” Popovich said. “It just boggles my mind.

I just don't get how an old white dude who comes off as this no nonsense tough guy can be such a liberal retard
Doesn't make much sense. I don't remember this guy making such an arse out of himself over politics until Trump came along. Classic case of TDS exposing who someone really is

Popovich is ugly inside and out
The absolute hatred that he has in his heart for conservatives is how he THINKS conservatives feel about minorities or gays, but he’s wrong.

That article is all over the place.
What are the lies he is referencing? I haven’t kept up with this situation. Now I’m curious so I keep reading.
What in the hell does that have to do with Pop’s quote?
The entire article jumps around between unrelated events and topics. It’s confusing, but I think Pop used a question about a shooting as an excuse to go off on another rant. The author shoehorns a bunch of Trump information into the article because Trump is still the boogeyman.
In the end Pop is a bitter and angry old man, and that’s a bad trait to develop for someone that was already a miserable person. He seems to be upset we have a two party system, and is pissed the other party actually has supporters.
He rambles and rants for a little bit, and the author does his best to give credence to the ramblings of someone detached from the real world.

I consider myself an apolitical person. I really dont care either way, but thing I cant stand is the whole "you think different than me therefore you are WRONG and should be cancelled." We see it more and more these days

Is it a requirement to be a retarded Democrat if you want to coach professional sports? Seems like most of them are.
