quote:

Popovich initially criticizes Commissioner Roger Goodell for allowing himself to be pushed around in the past by the President.

“A smart man is running the NFL. and he didn’t understand the difference between the flag and what makes the country great — all the people who fought to allow [Colin] Kaepernick to have the right to kneel for justice,” Popovich said. “The flag is irrelevant. It’s just a symbol that people glom onto for political reasons, just like [Dick] Cheney back in the Iraq war. . . . [Goodell] got intimidated when Trump jumped on the kneeling [and] he folded.”

Popovich compared Goodell to Republican politicians who support Donald Trump because they fear a tweetstorm from a golden toilet at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And Popovich didn’t confine his criticism to Goodell; the Spurs coach also went after owners who support the President.

“It’s just hypocritical,” Popovich said. “It’s incongruent. It doesn’t make sense. People aren’t blind. Do you go to your staff and your players and talk about injustices and democracy and how to protest? I don’t get it. I think they put themselves in a position that’s untenable.”

Gregg Popovich is a disgrace to his eastern european heritage.

I mean, your not so distant family fled bullets, barbed wire, oppression, etc to get to america and you prance around with your insane salary saying how awful it is.

hey Gregg, guess what: when slavs arrived in America, they were seen as an inferior race. They were not seen as white. they were excluded from much of society.

But they worked hard. they saved money for their kids, and their kids climbed the ladder. They shed some of the bad aspects of slav culture and assimilated into the anglo saxon community.

Today, americans of eastern european heritage are solidly stable and prosperous.

stop holding your players to lower standards.

Gregg Popovich


A total POS.


Yet, there are even "conservatives" who will pay good money to plop their asses back in the seats and cheer on this anti-American fraud and his primadonas once that crap starts up again. The NBA will never get a dime of my money.

PS - I wish somebody would ask the virtue-signaling left-wing loon why he didn't have the guts to stand up for Hong Kong (Hint: it was all about $$$).

There isn't a single journalist that will ask Pop about his position on Hong Kong and China when he goes into his political ranting?

Soros pushing Popodick to shame Goodell.

I feel like I'm on a gigantic playground in an elementary school.

I mean, if you're going to have that attitude, you could apply the same logic to Black Lives Matter.

He gets too much shite on this board. He’s a veteran and an honorable man. 2 things our president is not. Either way, his opinion shouldn’t be triggering people the way it does.

So he thinks it's hypocritical for NFL owners to be political, but not him.

Prog logic 101.

Trump has it coming to him for not getting off George Floyd’s neck.

His actions regarding China negate the "honorable man" claim.

Yup, typical lib, it’s ok to be political if you agree with their opinion. Another f’ing hypocrite.
