SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke openly Friday about his frustration with Tuesday night's election of Donald Trump as the country's 45th president.

"I'm still sick to my stomach, and not basically because the Republicans won or anything, but the disgusting tenor, tone and all the comments that have been xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic," he said before the Spurs' home game against the Detroit Pistons. "And I live in that country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone. That's the scariest part of [the] whole thing to me.

Attacking Trump’s supporters—half the country. Popovich has to take this position in a league where 85% of the players are black.

I doubt the NBA stands are filled with 45% black fans.

Some for sure, but I bet NBA white fans are way younger than white NFL fans and white MLB for for sure and less likely to care. They say that recent pro-b-ball product is pretty good right now, I haven’t watched since the mid 90s. I can’t take all the chest slapping displays and screaming hulk poses after slamming with no defender within 20 feet of them.

Cuban’s decision to support Hillary was more of a business decision, a bad one. But I was pleasantly surprised with his post-election comments. I never saw Cuban as particularly liberal, he’s more down the middle.

TV contract money/selling advertising on regional sports networks is where all these sports make their real money. At least that is how it is for MLB and NFL to my understanding. I assume NBA is the same.

What exactly does it mean when you say that 45% of the NBA fans are black? Blacks make up 13% of the population.

To my understanding it means blacks are way more into the NBA than whites, to such an extent that they are actually 5% more black fans than whites for NBA product despite being a minority in the general population.

President Trump needs to release all the emails. Put them on a website. If they are redacted there should be an explanation of what type of classified info was printed by Hillary Criminal’s maid.

NBA stands are all white people in the good seats and blacks up in the rafters.

Liberalism is a sliding scale. Liberal means “free” ... a “free thinker”, in contrast to a conservative who is bound to a rigid, and incidentally archaic, system.

But who doesn’t think of himself as a free thinker, these days ?

IMHO, Hockey is still the best sport to watch (as long as you mute the schmaltzy green-energy ads on the peacock network). Most of its superstars are humble, hard-working, and non-political.
