This is as good as anything I’ve read or seen pertaining to our country right now. Popovich doesn’t live in a blue state or a blue market like Toronto or Denver or San Francisco. He coaches in Texas. He could have just kept his mouth shut and not put himself in the spotlight like others in the NBA in certain red markets have done… as in Oklahoma City to name one. But he didn’t take the easy path.
He said what he honestly thinks.
It has nothing to do with politics. Absolutely nothing. It has to do with what kind of country you want to live in. Do you have any values whatsoever other than not paying taxes at a certain rate? I don’t have a daughter. Just a son. And if I ever heard or observed my son acting like Donald Trump… as a man I would deem myself as an utterly failed father. I cannot fathom how any father of a daughter in this country could vote for or support ‘this person’ we currently have in the White House. This thought is beyond my grasp.
With all due respect to George Will and Maureen Dowd—this is better than anything either one of them has written to date on our current Gilded Age revisited.
Speaking truth is always brave!
