The people on here saying that Pop is disgusting and an idiot and all this stuff, I just don't understand it. The things he's saying are right on. He's not saying Trump can't do good things, he's not even criticizing his political views. He's criticizing Trump's character. He's saying that character should matter more than anything else when it comes to being President. A man that makes fun of the disabled shouldn't be president of the United States, it's that simple. I'm stunned that's not obvious to everyone. You guys act like Turmp's some kind of savior, like he's the only American capable of leading the country to greener pastures. It's foolish. There are 300 million plus people in this country; at least half of those people are conservative. If you wanted a conservative, you could have elected one that wasn't such a terrible role model for our children. Trump's emotional immaturity should disqualify him from running this country. I don't care if he's a great businessman or anything about his political views because there are others that are equally qualified but do not have the character issues. It really seems like there would have been a better choice. You guys act like you can't vote third party. It didn't have to be Trump OR Clinton.
The Spurs have MANY “Military Nights, give tickets to military, have business with USAA, and Popovich was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. I can tell you The Spurs are not against the military. AND, the NFL has a several weeks they celebrate the military.
Well said Coach Pop! the moral fabric of this country is down the toilet. all those millions of self-righteous people packing thier churches every week, praying for what?
Lost a lot of respect for this guy and I'm not even a Trump supporter. He gives 1 word answers for every interview involving basketball when he should go into detail. In the one interview that involves politics he decided to go on a rant. He said it himself. He's a rich white guy. He's obviously out of touch with reality. I'm a minority from the middle class. I've been abused every day because of me being a minority. We've had politicians that were PC and said all of the right things. Nothing was accomplished. What I want to see in a leader is someone who goes against the grind to actually stand up for what's right. I don't think Donald Trump is that guy, but he's absolutely clueless if he thinks Hillary is going to be the one that would have made a difference. Hillary is basically the PC version of Trump with more experience and more baggage. Does he not know that Bill and Hillary were friends with Donald? Give me a break. Doc Rivers had the correct response to this question.
Afanasi Bushmanov he gives short answers to dumb basketball questions are you surprised that he has a lot to say about this issue which is way more important
Daniel Lynch actually this answer was about as meaningless as his answers to the dumb questions that he gets about basketball. I'd totally understand it if he made this speech before the election and endorsed Hillary Clinton before the election the way Lebron James and Mark Cuban did. Talking about it after the election is absolutely pointless.
you probably dundu nothin. i'm a minority and i've NEVER been harrassed. every time a cop pulls me over, i was speeding. i just don't bitch about it and say it was the man.
Listen bud,,, the demoncrats are constantly and i mean constantly bombarding Trump,,,it's like a thousand half-breed coyotes trying to take down a lion,,so dont start shitface about your parents or trump,,,could care less ,,,why dont you turn off crap national news for once and stop being part of the problem,,,,or I guess keep your impeach trump shit going on,,,, you lost the election stop crying and grow a pair
Ian keep drinking the Kool-Aid there buddy he's lying on his ass all these lies everybody has been making up from you leftist sore losers are a bunch of bulshit...the Spurs will never win another championship with that idiot pop as their coach!
So is everyone saying "horrible politics" just because hes not praising Trump. Part of being "AMERICAN" is freedom of speech however it seems like when someone doesnt automatically agree with someone elses views its always viewed as negativity.
Thank you for speaking up, Coach. I'm just glad my kids are old enough to have their own opinions, and they're disgusted at the way Trump talks about others. Forget his politics, just his embarassingly childish rudeness should have given voters pause for thought; I'd hate to think what I'd have to say to them if they were kids. "But the President said it!" "Doesn't matter what the President said, you have to show more respect for people." Smh, what a disgrace.
Forget politics? A president’s politics and policies are the only things that directly impact our lives. His rudeness only affects people’s feelings. I’ll take a president who hurts my feelings, but who’s policies lead to lower gas prices and a more secure border.
I always liked and respected pop...... Didn't know he felt this way! Awesomeness! Maybe the best worded argument against this clown in the white house. No name calling, no crazy theories, just straight up "what the hell is happening?" awesome
Well I do believe he lost half the team because of his stupid political rants he just needs to keep his mouth shut stick to coach and it don't be such an a****** I can't believe he's racist against white people how ironic
Democrats values cost me more money. I don’t have the luxury of making millions of dollars a year and not worry about money like some people…Coach. End of story.
@@kittona8754 In a word, regulations. Democratic values include policies that typically result in more unnecessary regulations and more taxes, which cost people like me more money. Inflation and gas prices started taking off since Biden took office. When a president goes after the oil industries just like he said he would do in his campaign , what did you think was going to happen? I sure do miss the days of rude behavior from our president, to go along with low gas prices…among other things.
@@hammer3353 I hear you, Nick. Seems like medium-sized businesses are always the ones to pay the costs of higher regulation, not the worker class and not the mega-corporations or the ultra-wealthy. Would that describe your situation? I mean, I accept that the days of unfettered environmental exploitation have to come to any end. Climate change is real and we're in a very precarious place, as a species. But it seems like yet again those who really benefited, whose control and ownership of the fossil fuel resources put them into the stratosphere, financilly speaking, will get off with no sacrifice, no obligation, no loss of their oligarchic power. And those who run businesses, employ people, and keep the economic machine on the road will be hit with the higher fuel costs, higher wages, more stringent environmental regulations. I'm almost sympathetic to those who say a lot of the pain could be avoided, a lot of the new necessities could be paid for by a one-off billionaire tax.... except that the billionaires would have to agree to it and they never will. They didn't get that rich by agreeing to give their profits away. And how can you force them? You can't. Nothing short of a worldwide communist revolution would make them and we all know how those turn out. I don't know how you could get the UHNWIs to make a one-off donation of say, 1% of their wealth, to put in a slush fund and pay for the transition from fossil fuels to renewables, but it would save a lot of businesses from going to the wall and enable them to keep providing employment. Still, humans have never been that good at sharing, have we? Not even in a crisis that could see the collapse of our entire civilisation. Can't see that changing overnight.
@@kittona8754 Yes it would. I’m not denying that climate change is real, but at the same time, the reality is the world still needs oil….and Russia happens to have a lot of it. The Democratic policies of the Biden administration have absolutely enabled Putin to do what he’s doing right now. We stop drilling for oil here, the U.S. and other countries become more dependent on oil from Putin…making him richer and more powerful than ever. Say what you want about Trump, but at least he was smart enough to realize that. The climate change policies are more about optics than anything else. It makes them feel better about themselves and appeases their voters, but are the policies really making a noticeable difference in climate change? Countries like China, India and Russia contribute far more to climate change than we do and that’s not going to change. As for a billionaires tax, I’d be all for it, but that’s also more about optics. It wouldn’t solve the problem of our government spending like drunken sailors. They don’t even try to balance a budget anymore. It’s sickening.
A majority of the Trump supporters talking bad about Pop saying how he didn't do enough research on all candidates are pretty full of it themselves. Where do you guys get off claiming that a 5-year air force veteran is wrong in his OPINIONS on one man? You know why Pop's claims are relatable to a lot of people? It's cause Trump is suppose to set a precedent for future leaders; not corrupt them by having them blast everyone on social media and a social etiquette of a 3rd grader in debates.
Funny how he says people who voted for Trump ignored all the things he said he cares more about words they are more important then someones business skill because it tells who we are and how we want to live together but when you race bait and Be guilty of your skin color is being a divider and he ignored all the corrupt things about Hillary this guy is a clown.
OMG! Couch POP with ball's to the Wall with this interview now that's one thing about Couch POP he don't have time for the bullshit! and he speaks his mind.
Its time everyone everywhere repent and turn to Christ. God is going to judge your life. If you are in Christ you will set free from the sin and Hell and Gods Holy Spirit will dwell in you.
but in the meantime all that holiness counted for nothing as the evangelical red states gave the Presidency to a vile and repugnant bigot, liar and cheat.
Wow, these guys are great at basketball and I love that. However they don't have a clue about seeing your job moved overseas to China or Mexico! Barkley is right about one thing, we have a huge problem in this country when it comes to poor or working poor people. The answer is not to park them into a welfare state, it is to fight for the jobs instead of holding the door open to the companies that sell out American workers for slave labor or regulate the companies so bad that they can't succeed.
I'm a hispanic from San Antonio and have always been a big spurs fan. David Robinson is my favorite but apparently Pop hasn't much time to do his research. My tips is, stay out of politics, stay away from corporate news and stick to coaching. He knows nothing of what working American veterans need and voted for. Trump has already done more than Obama (who I voted for) has done in 8 years. Please quit using your platform for your own opinions and coach or the Spurs and Mysa will loose fans the way Macys did.
David Robinson is also my favorite player of all time followed by Tim. I became a Spurs fan because they had always made an attempt to get players with good character. After listening to this interview a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to watch a single Spurs game. Pop later joined Cornel West to brainwash loads of high school kids, and that finally did it for me. No more Spurs; no more NBA.
Yea, I can fully understand that Josue. Too bad, I haven't stopped watching yet but am pretty upset that someone like Pop can be so unconnected to fans that don't live in a gated community and work for a living.
The people on here saying that Pop is disgusting and an idiot and all this stuff, I just don't understand it. The things he's saying are right on. He's not saying Trump can't do good things, he's not even criticizing his political views. He's criticizing Trump's character.

You believe a man can turn into a woman to don't you?😅 TRUMP CRUSHED HIS HATERS now there 😢
God bless u pop. U gained so much respect with many San antonions. That's why most of us said we want u for president. 👍🏼👌🏼
why do NBA and NFL players despise and disrespect our military, country, flag, and anthem?
Cuz they're all a bunch of brainwashed idiots
The Spurs have MANY “Military Nights, give tickets to military, have business with USAA, and Popovich was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. I can tell you The Spurs are not against the military.
AND, the NFL has a several weeks they celebrate the military.
Greeg popovich for 2020 President 🤘🤘
aMz 25 We just elected one, so.
castroy64 for having an opinion? He's a citizen just as you are. Dipshit.
popabitch for dog catcher 2020
Popovich is a racist for wanting blacks and whites treated differently based on their race.
Randall McQueen no because his views are stupid and is a race baiter and no one cares about his political views
Much respect coach!!!
hes my new favorite coach, in the whole N.B.A
Well said Coach Pop! the moral fabric of this country is down the toilet. all those millions of self-righteous people packing thier churches every week, praying for what?
Popovich doesn’t understand what real or fair means
And you do?

Damn hes becoming my favorite coach.
big ups to Pop,gundy and kerr for telling the truth about trump
the truth is trump will make this country great again,,,something pops only dreams of,,,thats the truth there 2pac wannabe

Yawn, this guy never did shit as a coach without a prime Tim Duncan
He won a championship with a team of old dudes against prime LeBron. Thats pretty impressive
@@buttermyeggrolllington6173 lebrons prime was not in miami lol

He beat Lebron in his prime in Cleveland in 2007.

Really lost me as a fan for life I'll never support the Spurs as long as Pop is coach

he should stay being a coach you don't like it then move out of the US like other actors or just run for office.
At least you admit they are Crooked
Very, very disappointing to hear Pop's views on this...
Just an old coach, full of shit too!
yoe91 You're disappointed to find out this message was for people like you

2 championships with those BIG ASTERIKS (SHORTENED SEASONS)...

Sad sad day to see that even Coach Popovich is as blinded as someone like Miley Cyrus
Arthur Anderson bro did you pass first grade english?
Stephen Wynne so basically you have no real argument?
Miley Cyrus has a better chance of coming to her senses.
clear thinkers like madonna who wants to blow up the white house. hahaha. but clearly not at clear thinking of you. (were you typing with your knees?)

just wrong
