If that's the narrative that helps you think you still understand the world around you, so be it.
It appears you were able to read the thread and figure out what I've said. Congrats.

Ppl seem to think he presidency is some sacred office...they're just men...whose interests don't match ours...it matches themselves and their donors...now and then they MAY throw us a bone to win re-election
Pops comments are infantile. He misses the fact that the world order was shoving Hitlery down our throats. She is a dangerous neocon and we dodged a bullet.
Still I dont have a problem with Pop speaking out. Only weak minded people would have a problem with this. Grow a backbone
I don't mind him speaking out. I mind him crossing certain lines. When you say you can't believe anything a president says, when he continues the false narrative that the president mocked a disabled man about his disability... these are concerning. And they're sufficient for me to take my money elsewhere.
Perhaps Popovich and I would have a good conversation about these things. Perhaps he's logical, and not a far-left partisan... but it doesn't look that way.
Trump being president is actually a great thing for the Spurs from a basketball perspective, tbh..
Pop is going to be coaching with passion we haven't seen since 2014 IMO..the thought of the Spurs winning the le and Pop snubbing Trump's White House invitation probably gets him harder than he's been in 30 years, tbh
Comparing a coach to a president is mind blowing. Two different jobs with two different objectives. I my grandmother taught me to never argue with fools...... hopefully you know the rest Blue!
Quick question, can someone tell me when the last time America was great for ALL of it's citizens?
I don't disagree with aspects of this take. In fact, it's the same argument folks on the other side of the spectrum from you have made for years, especial groups who have historically been in the minority. It's interesting to hear it from this perspective, and, after this election, I'm going to do better to try to understand why certain segments of white america feel alienated.
I truly hope you don't quit on the Spurs. I don't sense that you're truly upset at Pop. In fact, he's dong the very thing you're asking for: having open dialogue about view point but within the context of a highly unusual presidential election. I think that what you're really reacting to is how incredibly soft (to use Pop's term) and intolerant we've become when we hear views that aren't like our own. It's easy to fall into it in this age of social media, so it's on all of us to raise the bar.
all I need is mah safe space
Your grandmother didn't argue with you, did she?
The early 80s through the early 2000s.
Also, it seems like you don't understand the distinction between the office of the presidency and the individual who occupies it. Pop did literally nothing to denigrate the office. He pointed out that Trump the individual denigrates the office by his abhorrent actions — an entirely legitimate point of view.
Trump crosses the line on almost every single tweet tbqh. I dont see why Pop speaking his mind would be anything. Making a mountain of a mole imo

That show is so underratedly good
Here's the problem - you don't know my race. Why do I have to be white? Why is my logic, my thought process, my freedom to make judgments based on my race?
I appreciate your openness and thoughtfulness, but I think we all need to get away from labeling to the point everyone has to fit in these neat little boxes based on the melanin in their skin or the genitalia in their pants. We're all human, we're all from the same spot in east Africa 200,000 years ago. We're all on the same little blue marble rocketing through space in a sunbeam.
I agree with you that we should raise the bar. I hope we can fulfill MLK Jr's hope of a post-racial society, and MLKIII met with Trump recently stating Trump's desire is unity. And just like I supported Obama in his first few years until his policies didn't work and I felt his opportunities were lost to divisiveness, I hope others will support Trump to see if he can fulfill his goals of improving our economy and security. And when I hear others go beyond the line of decency in their hate towards Trump, I'll pull back my support for them. If they disagree without being obnoxious, then it's a different story.

OP is a massive got. The president isn't a god, they're a human being who isn't above criticism - even if the criticism is idiotic and dishonest like Poop's is. Quitting the Spurs because of this just means you're oversensitive.
lol op is a cuck ass beta snowflake
I actually run marathons, so I don't need that XXXL shirt =)

Pop's logic that Trump himself denigrates the office so that Pop is free to not respect the office himself is a logical fallacy he is using to make what he said okay. It's a tell-tale sign that Pop knows he's disrespecting the office, or else he doesn't have to make the argument in the first place.
And just like I can't give you the list of everyone not watching ESPN but I can show you their ratings have tanked and they're killing Disney's stock, I can show you in a few months how this impacted the Spurs' bottomline.
Respect isn't just given, it's earned. If you act like a clown you will be treated as a clown. You can't run a campaign based on xenophobia, racism, misogyny and all other sorts of terrible things and expect to be respected.

I love this episode because it's from a season in which all they do is mock social justice warriors. I agree totally with that.
What I find amusing is that I'm here taking on all of your statements, but you seem to think I'm hiding in a safe space. That's obviously the opposite of what I'm doing by staying here and challenging your words. If you were competent, you'd understand the irony in your post.
