San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich claimed on ESPN2’s “The Paul Finebaum Show” Monday that “people have to be made to feel uncomfortable,” specifically singling out white people.
“Well, because it’s uncomfortable, and there has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. Whether it’s the LGBT movement, women’s suffrage, race, it doesn’t matter. People have to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people because we’re comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means,” he stated.
White people are not going to buy your tickets or your NFL gear.
White People are going to boycott your sponsors.
White people are gonna laugh as you go broke.
White people pay your bills but NO MORE.
How is that for what White people going to do asshole?
Oh and PS
White people going to vote in Trump 4 more years in 2020, that is what white people going to do.
How about if all WHITE people stop buying tickets to your games? I think we should try that for a year.
I can’t ignore basketball any more than I do already.
I even tell people how meaningless it is to me.
What’s left to do?
You tell it, Morgana!
Committing suicide in public is funny.
Popovich is obviously suffering from the onset of dementia. Does he want to insult his entire Mexican fan base in San Antonio?
Openly calling for harassment based on race.
Who are the real racists here?
This guy is a moron.
This is the exact attitude that creates division and discrimination.
Just had two white kids made to feel uncomfortable in Long Island, NY. Beaten by a gang of disadvantaged kids.
He be “woke”!
So happy for him.

Clarify... not your post, but the coaches opinion.
There is more to this story was so angry did not hit the “EXCERPT” button
but thanks MM
I know it is “just” one person but I spoke to a Trump basher Sunday. An elderly gentleman who I like. In the middle of a non-political conversation, he said to me “You know, you were right, Trump does have some good ideas...” He finished it by saying “Don’t let my wife know...” I wonder how Hill feels about a man who voted for Hill, in part, because of his wife. Doesn’t fit her female-victims-of-men narrative, does it? Keep the hateful rhetoric in the news. Go Dems go. Bury yourselves.
A year?!!
How about until the racial population of the teams approximately matches the racial population at large?
ML/NJ
WTF?!
No you stupid twit - unlike you I don’t define myself by my race and dear GOD I wish you’d do the same.
He needs to be fired for racist hate speech. IMMEDIATELY.
Sorry, no white guilt here.
Not going to happen.
I haven’t watched the NBA in 25 years so I can only continue to ignore it.
Actually we need to hear from these Aholes, to get their perspective and to evaluate how they are the antithesis to most all the values and mores that I and most of my cohorts hold dear. It also demonstrates why there is no bargaining with these jerks; there is no way they will agree to quell their unsupported irrational positions. All the more, it points to what needs happen, the sooner the better. I will stop now before showing my entire hand.
Why should I feel uncomfortable? What have I done to warrant any guilty feelings? Because I was born white? What an idiot!
