Pop has been sounding more and more out of touch with the average-everyday-American lately. We get it Pop, you're part of the leftist elite.

[UZER]

:lol pop reeeeally wants a gold medal.

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol he's a staunch liberal so he must be a leftist elite

[superbigtime]

Correct. He's out of touch with the fat, uneducated, ambivalent, and indifferent American majority.

[Darius Bieber]

Correct. He's out of touch with the fat, uneducated, ambivalent, and indifferent American majority.

The American majority voted for a Democratic president.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Keep it up Pop, F the haters.

[Clipper Nation]

How ironic that the guy who hates outspoken African-American players is complaining about racism. This is one of the left's classic tactics: "always accuse your opponent of what you yourself are doing."

[SupremeGuy]

Correct. He's out of touch with the fat, uneducated, ambivalent, and indifferent American majority.Your tolerance is showing.

Good for him, finally a coach that speaks the truth. Always good to be against a presidency that literally has white nationalist in the national security council.

Democrats got crushed literally everywhere else: the Electoral College, the Senate, the House, ballot items, state governorships, state legislatures, attorneys general, insurance commissioners, secretaries of state, etc., etc. All in all, the Democrats haven't been this politically impotent since Reconstruction. But by all means, keep clinging to :cry muh popular vote :cry as an excuse to not change an overall losing formula. It will only make 2020 that much easier for sane Americans to win. :tu

Just 8 years ago the situation was completely in reverse. Willfully delusional or just everyday ignorance? The pendulum swings, Obama then Trump. 8 years from now (maybe 4) it will swing in the other direction. But, how could a clippers fan understand? If he had any sense he wouldn't be a clippers fan...

How do you argue with stupid? Let me give it a try. 99.9% of African Americans don't play in the NBA.
When you close your eyes, do you believe people can't see you? No, of course not. Now apply that same principal and realize there's more to the world then your eyes can see.

Completely agree, end the parties. But the elite don't want that, they want us arguing over party lines and not over the issues. Divide and conquer. No one is 100% liberal or 100% conservative. https://s28.postimg.org/k7j0wu0jx/Screenshot_2016_11_10_09_40_03_1.png

No, if the officer didn't use unnecessary force he wouldn't have his leg broken. Pero Antic didn't get his leg broken, why is that when he did exactly the same as Thabo? It is all out there for you to read after it went to court and it was proven that he did nothing wrong.

Also, Jon Henson of the Bucks had a jewelry store lock their doors when he came to spend some of his millions. I guarantee you if he were white they would have welcomed him into the store with open arms.

See, if every minority would just become a professional athlete, they wouldn't have such issues with poverty.

[Clipper Nation]

Just 8 years ago the situation was completely in reverse.
The Democrats did hold the presidency, Senate, and House eight years ago, but if you look at the state level results, the Republicans still were never as screwed as the Democrats are now.

For instance, in 2008, there were only 8 more Democrat-controlled state legislatures than Republican-controlled ones. 12 state legislatures were split between both parties. In 2017, there are 20 more Republican-controlled state legislatures than Democrat-controlled ones. Only 6 state legislatures are split between both parties.

In 2008, the Democrats held 8 more governorships than the Republicans. In 2017, the Republicans hold 17 more governorships than the Democrats.

In 2009, most state governments were split between both parties. In 2017, the majority of state governments are Republican-controlled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_party_strength_in_U.S._states#Historical _party_strength

The Dems got crushed in historic fashion. 2008 was a walk in the park for Republicans compared to the situation that the Democrats are in now. And that was coming off of 8 years of Dubya's fuck-ups and scathing criticism from the media. In contrast, the Democrats were coming off of 8 years of fawning praise for Obama.

[DarrinS]

See, if every minority would just become a professional athlete, they wouldn't have such issues with poverty.

I would assume that professional athletes combined their natural talent with hard work to get where they are. There's not some quota of black or white players that have to be drafted -- they take the best available.

The maximum number of black players that can play in the NBA at any given time is 450.

There are 37MM black people in America.

I wonder why diversity isn't so important in the NBA, but it is everywhere else.

I'll thank Pop to speak for himself - if he wants to bestow this sin on himself, go ahead but a "national sin" - on the entire country? He's free to voice HIS opinion, but the rest of us deplorables are tired of being painted with the racist, sexist, bigot, misogynist, etc. label that the liberal elites pull (and apparently still haven't learned from the election).

The constitution effectively mandates a two party system for national elections by how the president is elected. If there are ever three or more strong parties no one would get to 270 electoral votes and the party with the most power in congress would pick the guy from their party. A dual party system is the only stable political setup.

[Spurminator]

You made a stupid attempt at delegitimatizing Pop's comments by suggesting that NBA players are proof that minorities have the same opportunities as non-minorities.

Thabo refused to take a deal because he was so confident that he would be to win in court and did. The officer was clearly in the wrong. Brian Windhorst mentioned that his wife used to be an a attorney in New York and was tasked with deciding whether claims made by citizens toward police are with merit. If they are then they tend to offer a deal as opposed to going to trial. He was offered a deal.

That's absolutely fine but your president is all of the above.


Him saying that he grabs women by the pussy or refusing to rent to blacks, or calling illegal Mexicans rapists or being endorced by the KKK, David Duke, the American Nazi Party, and two other former grand wizards all reflect back on the people that voted for him. The "deplorable aren't doing a very good job at shedding that narrative.

Diversity hasnt been a priority in professional sports since they were racially integrated. It's about athletic ability. Ever heard of the NHL?

Pop needs to cut Gasol, Ginobili an Bertrans, to back up his claim about "white privilege" those players are racist and taking a job away from black players. I want more political and divisive talk from my NBA coaches around the league and Pop is great for leading the way. Cut all white players and charge white fans more for their tickets. Any black players dating white women will have to pay a "white privilege" tax on bring their wives and girlfriends to NBA events. This whiteness has to stop. If Pop is going to talk about it, he needs to put his money where his mouth is and DO something about it.

Pop kept Bonner on the team for about 5 years too long taking up a roster spot just because he was funny and charming in the lockers room and practice, and had "corporate knowledge". That spot could've been given to a really good minority player with impact potential on the floor during games. Talk about white privilege.

[Dre_7]

And how do the Americans in the middle like being labelled with a "national sin"?

Racism is a national sin. But he didn't say all Americans were bigots. People need to open ears. You have to actually LISTEN to what he says before you get all blinded with hate because you THINK someone is talking directly about you. If you aren't a bigot he isn't saying you are.

As an American who is not a Dem or a Rep I could tell you that racism is still a huge issue in the USA. I have seen it for decades. Pop is correct in what he said.
