Yeah and the dumbass probably thought he was going to start something and have a bunch of other spurs fans doing the same.

Im not offended at all but I understand why some fans would be offended at Pop using the Spurs as a stepping stone for his political views
Also it seems Pop is the one who is so offended he will call reporters in a drunken stupor to vent about a sitting president
Beats brazilian billionaires getting together in a room to scheme impeaching a sitting president and there being recordings of it

Thank you many for using your voice to stand up for equality!
Spurs play pregame 'pursuit of equality' message on video board
SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich thanked fans attending Wednesday's season-opening 107-99 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves for their rousing reception of the message of unity that the club posted on its scoreboard after the playing of the national anthem."I want to congratulate our fans on the way they reacted at the beginning of the game after the national anthem was played," Popovich said in his postgame news conference. "They obviously also buy into the messages that were set up on the JumboTron. I'm so proud to be in this city when we have fans that understand that it's important for everybody. Kudos to our fans."
The Spurs and Timberwolves stood for the national anthem as normal. But after the anthem, both squads locked arms while still standing on their respective ends on the court.
San Antonio franchise icons Tim Duncan and David Robinson also locked arms with the Spurs, as the team played a message of unity in slideshow fashion across the scoreboard that drew thunderous applause from the fans in attendance.
A league source said Spurs players felt strongly about putting out the message and that Duncan attended the game just to be a part of that message. The last time Duncan had attended a game at AT&T Center was when the Spurs retired his jersey in December.
"There are things happening in our communities that need our attention," the message read. "We understand your desire to attend our games as an escape and chosen form of entertainment. In that, we feel there is a significant commonality in all of us that allows our community to be so special.
"That commonality should include aspirations for social justice, freedom of speech in its many forms, and equal opportunity for education, and economic advancement regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion.
"It is our hope that we can, as a community, inspire and evoke real change. We ask that you join with us in your daily lives in the pursuit of equality. And in that, we honor our country by exercising demands for what this great nation has promised and what our military continues to fight for."
Popovich has drawn scorn for critical remarks against President Donald Trump since the day after the 2016 presidential election. Spurs point guard Danny Green said it was important for the team to stand up for its coach, who has spoken out in support of players for the better part of the past year.
Several players mentioned the team came to a collective decision to release Wednesday's message for the opener. Green said the team was proud of the reception that the message received.
"Obviously, we have heard that he's gotten some backlash," Green said. "But regardless, he's speaking out for us. And we have to speak out for him and back him for him taking a stand. Obviously, some of his comments have been criticized. But we felt we should do something. There's been back and forth about what we should do. But I thought it was good. I didn't think it was too much. I said we've got to back our coach, especially when he's speaking out for us."
Newly acquired forward Rudy Gay called the crowd's reception good.
"That's the meaning of unity, just being united, being one," Gay said. "We've been divided for a long time. It was all shapes, colors and sizes in that arena today. For everybody to be on the same page, it meant a lot."
olha uma bixona colombiana falando merda voce imigrou nos EU para viadinhos americanos te comer o cu ?
Dont speak amazonian nig
Ole ole ole ola carnaval carnaval!! Have fun for a month a year for the rest of your life
San Antonio Native American still right here
This is high quality, A+ virtue signaling right here. All talk, no action.
How do you know there's no action?
The spurs actually do a lot in the community....... the real question is what do you contribute to your community and surrounding areas?
bend over, I'll show you some high quality A+ action
the Spurs are one of the most socially active sports teams in the world. They constantly follow through with action.
What does "doing a lot in the community" have to do with my post? Their display was an empty, meaningless, pathetic attempt at virtue signalling. "Doing a lot in the community" has nothing to do with the referenced tweet.
Also, I don't do a ing thing to contribute to my community or the surrounding areas. That's because I'm an asshole and half the people in San Antonio are borderline re ed, so I try not to associate with the unclean masses as much as possible. But that has nothing to do with my post either.
I believe you called Brazil a hole in order to make your point about losing 7-1 to Germany.. True fact - but I think it's garbage when you call a country a hole - or do you really think there aren't areas in the US that would qualify as such? There are plenty, some I have visited myself to believe it.
I'm calling you out on your stupid blanket comments that further throw this site into darkness.. What is the point of venting your daily frustrations in a place like this? I'm sure you wouldn't do that absent the Internet mask.
Agree with lots of ur points niga
Us is a shihile too. But Brazil a country run by a mafia and a few billionaire families is much more of a hole
US at least has some checks and balances. Even with re ed s like Clinton and Trump.
Brazil is just unbelievably corrupt. Its nit even in the same league
Good deal homie. I just wanted to hear you say it...... BTW your comprehension skill are horrible! Try to be better
Agree 100%
Equality? What does that mean? If it's equal opportunity, that's fine and good. Who in the would be against that? If they mean equal outcomes for everyone, that's a bunch of horse . Only socialist communist societies promote that bull .
Virtue signaling at it's absolute worst on display by the Spurs and the NBA.
If NBA players and coaches sincerely believed in "equality" they would all agree to be paid equal salaries and NBA teams would charge fans equal prices for all seats/season tickets.
C'mon Spurs fans...don't fall for all this happy horse . Have a freaking mind of your own and think instead of blindly following this equality crap.
Everything you need to know about how we are bound to live and treat one another is in the Cons ution.
"All men are created equal and have inalienable rights endowed upon them by our creator - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ". Equality is only guaranteed insofar as it relates to these basic rights. There's no guarantee for equal pay, equal job quotas, equal prison populations, etc.
That quote is from the Declaration of Independence... if somehow one day you happen to be hit in the head with an actual US Cons ution, check out the 14th Amendment, IMO...
How old are you?
