Spurs coach Gregg Popovich: US is a global embarrassment under Trump
The Hill ^ | Sept 25, 2017 | Olivia Beavers

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich took aim at President Trump on Monday, calling the United States a "global embarrassment" under his leadership after his attacks on African-American athletes who have boycotted standing for the national anthem.

“Our country is an embarrassment in the world," Popovich said in a press conference in response to the president's remarks over the weekend.

The San Antonio basketball coach ridiculed Trump for stating that players who linked arms during the games were honoring the national anthem, compared to those who knelt. The players who linked arms appeared to be standing in solidarity with one another in a sign of protest against the president's attacks on certain NFL and NBA players.

Another coach showing his hatred of Trump and America. The San Antonio Spurs should pay a dear price for his mouth.

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.

“Our country is an embarrassment in the world,” Then why do so many people risk their lives to come?

Where were these comments when Otoken was the most ridiculous person to ever hold the office, using a teleprompter to speak to little schoolchildren?

Our rich privileged athletes acting like oppressed slaves is an embarrassment

Standing at attention for God Save the Queen was good for a chuckle

One great by product of electing Donald Trump has been the way all the cock roaches have been driven out into the light. It’s been an eye opening experience.

Obama was the biggest embarrassment when he broke every rule of etiquette in the company of foreign leaders

Hey Popovich...time for you and your family to either move back to Serbia or Africa.

You were allowed to live on this continent by white men who let your miserable family in when you begged to be here.

We were already here and had already made the place safe for your worthless skin.

You wanna be uncomfortable in your skin? So move to Namibia buttwipe.

And ticket sales aren’t an entitlement, ahole. You’re in the entertainment biz, nothing more. Everyone can stay home and watch re-runs, it’s all the same anyway.

This guy has no choice. The NBA is black. He has to go with the flow, or retire, or coach high school ball in some midwest suburb.

<< “Our country is an embarrassment in the world,” Popovich said >>

Our global enemies FEAR Trump, as they should. Those same enemies look upon Obama as a partner in crime, which of course he is.

They can take the whole NBA and NFL and move all em to Zimbabwe since the culture there is more in line with their beliefs and what they want.
