Season Ticket Holder Letter to the Spurs

[disciple]

I usually wouldn't answer to these type of threads but the fact that I got sucked into reading this (because I was expecting something else) forces me to reply.

Nobody cares son, stop being a drama queen.

LOL. If you knew me at all you could not make that statement. There are those that care so don't fool yourself.

[disciple]

Have done

[daslicer]

I could understand if the OP didn't want to buy season tickets because he thought Pop's coaching had gone to 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.

[Brunodf]

Can't believe so many people fell for such an obvious troll

8/10 for the effort though

[Budkin]

Obvious troll attempt.

Nobody that articulate is a Trump supporter.

This.

[baseline bum]

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.

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

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

[Blake]

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.

[spurs10]

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 les, 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.

Well good luck with your decision. Pop has every right and even perhaps a moral duty to speak out against this abomination of a man. 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.

You waited until the ship was sinking to become so offended by Pop's political views

Let me get this straight you quit because Pop does not respect the position of president.... ? like Trump is respecting the position of POTUS

bye got tbh..

[Brazil]

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

[TheRemix]

Ok

[UZER]

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 . 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?"

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 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. ing hypocrite.
