Season Ticket Holder Letter to the Spurs

[disciple]

I have decided at this point to NOT renew my season tickets. My decision is not an easy one to make because of my love for basketball and my team, The Spurs!

My heart has always been for, GO SPURS GO, as all Spurs fans. I believe I am not alone in saying that this logo has such a greater meaning than a team on a basketball court. There have been moments through our history that have been difficult but served to illustrate the very FULL meaning of this logo.

Such as when Tim Duncan was injured and we held him out of the playoffs to preserve his future even though his free agency wasn't far off. And, when Tim's father passed and the team encouraged him to miss playoff games to be with his family. Also, when Stephen Jackson became a locker room distraction and we let him go just before the playoffs. Don't forget supporting all of our foreign players participating with their national teams all these years. Most recent is the way Pop handled LaMarcus Aldridge being unhappy here. And even this year the way we are handling the Kawhi Leonard injuries.

All of these serve to show the world the level of commitment and support that our Spurs Team has. A Commitment that holds players long-term health above any individual season. Support for the families of those employed by the team above its own financial goals. Their commitment to holding true to the harmony of the team against any individual efforts to disrupt. The support of what is so important to others from foreign countries even though it costs our team. The commitment to what's best for the team in the face of Pop's own pride in admitting his error and stepping into it to remedy the situation. And, once again, putting an individuals health before any particular season.

I stand in great pride to be part of such a wonderful history. All of these mighty principals that are part of my witnessing The Ice Man in HemisFair Arena, The reception party for David Robinson in the AlamoDome and subsequent team titles, the experience of watching the careers of Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. I will forever hold the joy of the years shared with my father and son.

However, even though I am as small of a voice as there could be and my decision will have absolutely no consequence on the team, I must stand as one individual, that vehemently opposes Greg Popovich and his arrogant behavior in using his public pulpit to disparage our president. Not arrogant because of his position but because he does so with the full confidence that there is no repercussion for using his position within the Spurs organization. Not that I agree with everything any president of our great country has believed, but we should all respect the position and allow our system to play out its course with the support of those that elected him or not. Our greatest voice is when we vote.

Again, I wish to repeat my position. I respect Pop's right to his opinion. Of course! I even support some of what Pop has had to say. What I can not, and will not support, is anyone or any organization that agrees with using their platform, in which I pay for by supporting the organization, to contribute to such mean spirited and down right nasty treatment of the office of president.

I know Pop would argue that he has every right to voice his opinion. I agree wholeheartedly. His right, but not the right that comes with his responsibility of coach of a professional team that is publicly supported. Voice your opinion from the rooftops, Pop, yes sir! Just not from the top of the San Antonio Spurs roof.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

CIA Pop tanking to miss the playoffs so he can focus this spring on how we can make it easier to donate our uranium to the Russians.

Well bye faggot. :lol

You are quitting because Pop criticizes Trump?

Ok. :lol Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Obvious troll attempt.

i agree with the op's right to voice his opinion, of course, but i cannot agree with the incredulous manner in which he chooses to use the spurs forum on ST as the platform for his mean-spirited views of our coach. let him do it from the political forum page but just not from this spurs forum roof.

I’ll make sure Ms. former Holt sees this

[Darius Bieber]

As much as I don't like the current team roster, I don't mind Pop speaking out. However, I do mind him speaking out when his team is absolute shit. Focus on your own job first, then speak your opinions. Answer the reporters' genuine questions first. I just wish some reporter had the guts to ask a legitimate question like, "Do you feel the need for any roster or internal changes as your looking at being in 10th place in the west?"

Well Goodbye idiot! Pop is a American citizen and has the right to speak out period! We were given these rights and just because you don't agree with his right to free speech, then leave and don't let the door hit you on the way out! There's a waiting list for Spurs fans who want to be season ticket holders! Geez so sick of these hypocrites trying to shut people's right to free speech! The thing in the WH is nothing but a traitor and is consorting with our enemy, Russia! I agree with Pop! Pop speaks the truth! He believes in the American spirit and calling out the thing in the WH who is nothing but a bigot! So goodbye!

I could understand if the OP didn't want to buy season tickets because he thought Pop's coaching had gone to shit but being butthurt about Pop's political views is lame.

[ElNono]

I object you using the Spurs to object Pop voicing his opinion. He's a public figure, regardless if he works on the Spurs or any other basketball team.

On that note, don't forget to also send a copy of the letter to Adam Silversteinweisen, the head honcho of the entire thing.

tbh, you're probably a bitter old white man, so you're probably better off putting your money in more tangible things, like a gun to off yourself, IMO.

A man who has ridiculed and mocked a disabled person in public, continually used race baiting as means to frighten his fellow citizens, used religious intolerance as a weapon, humiliated and disgraced his wives and children without regard countless times, and shown a derilection of duty to his country by refusing to stand up against a murderous regime that willfully threatens our sovereignty and the sovereignty of our allies. I’m glad Pop has job security enough and courage enough to speak out about this horror show from every rooftop he possibly can.

Now that being said if he was publically espousing support for white nationalist, racist hate-speak then I might cancel my season tickets too.

Yeah. The issue is not Pop speaking his mind, or using his platform to do so. I don’t like it, but he sure as hell can.

The issue is Pop freely ranting for minutes on political topics because he was asked a little 5 word question, while being a total asshole and dismissive to reporters when real basketball questions are asked. Questions that are about his ACTUAL job. Fucking hypocrite.

Should be printed in the Express News. Even though I do not agree with all the content, the Spurs are going to lose many fans for many reasons. I have been loyal for 30 years most from long distance and it is just hard to root for this team especially with its superstar situation. When I watch game on TV it seems the team knows it just does not have the talent to compete at the highest level, and some of the players seem to have no desire to try.

I keep hearing that liberals are snowflakes but it's butt-hurt Trump supporters that whine the loudest.

Pop is a character guy. One of the first things a new Spurs player hears is that "they need to get over themselves."

An egotistical, immoral moron like Trump is just naturally going to make Pop pissed. How could it be any other way? If you are a Trump supporter, you already know that Trump is a low character person, you're just willing to overlook it. Don't expect a guy like Pop to do the same. it's not going to happen. Bitching and threatening to dump season tickets and all, just reflects poorly on you. If you are backing Trump, you are backing an asshole. You know it. Own it.

So Pop doesn't like Trump. Big fucking deal. He is asked a question about it, he answers it. As a fellow Spurs season ticket holder and Conservative Republican, I can say this to you. Stop your bitching and grow a pair. Boo friggin' hoo if your coach doesn't like your political view. It doesn't matter on the court now does it? Focus on the game. If you are that easily distracted, then you don't really like the Spurs.

Oh, so he’ll answer THAT question, but not legit basketball questions. I agree with you, but he also bdoesn’t have to act like a dick when asked real basketball questions. That’s my issue. Even before the Trump rants, I couldn’t stand his tired “your not important enough for me to answer your basketball questions” shtick. It’s just old already.

He gotten more pompous over the years.

Really? It's not the team's poor play, the poor coaching, the poor management, or anything basketball-related that led to this decision? Just...giving honest answers to reporters' questions? :lol

I genuinely thought this was about something the Spurs are doing wrong with Kawhi when I made the mistake to click in it.

I read the first half and everything went fine - your past, your memories with your dad and son, etc. Everything checked - then I read the word "president" and I was like... WTF!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Trumpers crying about people nasty and mean-spirited toward their guy who is nothing but a racist ball of hate who is way nastier to anyone who slights him in the least :lmao

:cry Pop talking shit about Trump is so much worse than Trump telling his crowd to assassinate a President Clinton :cry

TBH...

Not to mention the dude is an insecure little bitch... talk about snowflake :lol

Its all of those, and then some. The media shtick is just another feather.

:pop: "Ok"

Who gives a shit fuck off!

[pgardn]

As much as I don't like the current team roster, I don't mind Pop speaking out. However, I do mind him speaking out when his team is absolute shit. Focus on your own job first, then speak your opinions. Answer the reporters' genuine questions first. I just wish some reporter had the guts to ask a legitimate question like, "Do you feel the need for any roster or internal changes as your looking at being in 10th place in the west?"

Pop can't possibly coach, AND dislike the President, at the same time.
Its very taxing. But, if we were NBA champs, it's okay...

Just beautiful analysis.

He answers the last question, No.

Pop is a cranky old opinionated man. This does not disable him from coaching. And basically what we have here is a team that has won for way too long to replace used parts through the draft.

Who is this fucking faggot, probably going to suck his dads dick tonight.

Apparently not if this season is any indication tbh.

Typical that you can't follow the thread. My opposition is NOT with Pop saying ANYTHING. Listen now!!!!!!!!!! It's with his using his position with the Spurs to say it. How would our employers take it if we did that?

[disciple]

LOL, not quite. You would have anyway.

So Pop should shut the fuck up until he's no longer the Spurs coach? His employer seems fine with it.

[disciple]

Sorry to say the opposition to my post is typical with just name calling or inability to follow along. You really need to grow up.

As with the Spurs season tickets.....................I'm done here too.

Catch you in the funny papers..........................oh wait........................you probably can't follow those either.

so touching a manifesto, now...

I object you using the Spurs to object Pop voicing his opinion. He's a public figure, regardless if he works on the Spurs or any other basketball team.

On that note, don't forget to also send a copy of the letter to Adam Silversteinweisen, the head honcho of the entire thing.

tbh, you're probably a bitter old white man, so you're probably better off putting your money in more tangible things, like a gun to off yourself, IMO. :lol

Yeah I forgot about assassination threats, but am warmly reminded of the ‘Beat the crap out of’em!’ orders he gave to his crowd whenever a heckler spoke up. I enjoyed reading these responses while getting reading for the game. OP can enjoy Stormy tonight on 60 minutes tonight instead of that stupid game.

I have decided at this point to NOT renew my season tickets. My decision is not an easy one to make because of my love for basketball and my team, The Spurs!

My heart has always been for, GO SPURS GO, as all Spurs fans. I believe I am not alone in saying that this logo has such a greater meaning than a team on a basketball court. There have been moments through our history that have been difficult but served to illustrate the very FULL meaning of this logo.

Such as when Tim Duncan was injured and we held him out of the playoffs to preserve his future even though his free agency wasn't far off. And, when Tim's father passed and the team encouraged him to miss playoff games to be with his family. Also, when Stephen Jackson became a locker room distraction and we let him go just before the playoffs. Don't forget supporting all of our foreign players participating with their national teams all these years. Most recent is the way Pop handled LaMarcus Aldridge being unhappy here. And even this year the way we are handling the Kawhi Leonard injuries.

All of these serve to show the world the level of commitment and support that our Spurs Team has. A Commitment that holds players long-term health above any individual season. Support for the families of those employed by the team above its own financial goals. Their commitment to holding true to the harmony of the team against any individual efforts to disrupt. The support of what is so important to others from foreign countries even though it costs our team. The commitment to what's best for the team in the face of Pop's own pride in admitting his error and stepping into it to remedy the situation. And, once again, putting an individuals health before any particular season.

I stand in great pride to be part of such a wonderful history. All of these mighty principals that are part of my witnessing The Ice Man in HemisFair Arena, The reception party for David Robinson in the AlamoDome and subsequent team titles, the experience of watching the careers of Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili. I will forever hold the joy of the years shared with my father and son.

However, even though I am as small of a voice as there could be and my decision will have absolutely no consequence on the team, I must stand as one individual, that vehemently opposes Greg Popovich and his arrogant behavior in using his public pulpit to disparage our president. Not arrogant because of his position but because he does so with the full confidence that there is no repercussion for using his position within the Spurs organization. Not that I agree with everything any president of our great country has believed, but we should all respect the position and allow our system to play out its course with the support of those that elected him or not. Our greatest voice is when we vote.

Again, I wish to repeat my position. I respect Pop's right to his opinion. Of course! I even support some of what Pop has had to say. What I can not, and will not support, is anyone or any organization that agrees with using their platform, in which I pay for by supporting the organization, to contribute to such mean spirited and down right nasty treatment of the office of president.

I know Pop would argue that he has every right to voice his opinion. I agree wholeheartedly. His right, but not the right that comes with his responsibility of coach of a professional team that is publicly supported. Voice your opinion from the rooftops, Pop, yes sir! Just not from the top of the San Antonio Spurs roof.
:lmao

bye ya POS

[offset formation]

Obvious troll attempt.

Nobody that articulate is a Trump supporter.

:lmao

[sasaint]

:lol at op. Lighten up, francis.

You da Big Toe, man! :toast

[cd021]

People from Red States aren't this soft, so OP has to be an embarrassment to even them.

Way to stick it the Spurs, not renewing your tickets because Pop consistently criticizes a President while using his platform- which is what Trump did as a business man when Obama was in office :lol

If your going to take a stand make sure your at least not being a hypocrite in the process.

[offset formation]

btw dude is not a troll, account is active since 2005 and he did not post anything trollish during all those years... I know ST is full of weirdos but you don't create a troll account 10 years ahead feed it a bit during all those years to finally find a troll worthy material.

Dude is just a dumbfuck repug red neck triggerred by Pop telling the truth about dat Trump POS who is joke for his position and for USA.

[Gummi Clutch]

yea he isn't a troll I've seen his posts a while back and i've been here a decade

[Spurtacular]

Quite the opposite

It's a layered troll attempt. Dude calling his inarticulate post articulate. :lol
