After Pop's Political Rants, I'm Done With Spurs

[vander]

so who moved this to the political forum? seems a thin-skinned thing to do.

[Aztecfan03]

So are we back where we were under Bush where every time you said the president sucked it's really because you hate America?

You do realize that anytime anyone disagreed with any little thing Obama did they were called racist, don't you?

[Aztecfan03]

If you're ever out in San Diego, you gotta check their air & space museum too. They have a freaking A-12 (one of the early versions of the SR-71 Blackbird) in a climbing pose right there at the entrance. Last time I was there they had this great exhibit of WWI planes that I had never seen anything like before, but that was a one time thing. Lots of cool planes on the nearby aircraft carrier you can go on and in too (I forget which it is).

The March Field Air Museum isn't too far away either in riverside county. Used to go there all the time on the way back from Big Bear. Loved seeing the SR-71 there.

Wow, I gotta see that sometime, seeing they have a B-29. I have never seen one in person, closest I ever got was making a Hasegawa model of one.

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

That'd be a great protest from Pop's POV but not for the scrubs/first timers/even stars like Lee, LMA who would miss the experience.

Hey OP, your vagina is bleeding. Might wanna sop it up with something, otherwise the snail trail may betray the location of your safe space.

[Ed Lover]

I was actually ok with that one. Sometimes you just gotta grab the es by the pussy

I prefer a good leg sweep, but that's just me

[benfti]

I've been a Spurs fan since 2002, purchased their stuff, went to games, followed them closely. I've got a Spurs tag on my vehicle, and I live in Tennessee where that's not common.

I'm done with the Spurs.

If Popovich is going to publicly berate the president of the United States and speak gloriously of the women wearing "pussy" hats and cheering Madonna as she talks about thinking of physically destroying the White House, I'm out. Not watching another Spurs game. I wanted to enjoy fundamental basketball, not see the president I voted to clean up crony elitists selling out the middle class be ridiculed in ways that nobody would ever say about Obama. When he won, none of this stuff happened... we might not have liked what he was doing, but we respected democracy and the office.

It was a fun decade routing for my favorite team. Watching Manu and Timmy (was never a Parker fan) was a real treat.

Over and out,

cool, off then you re ed bogan.

Hey cutewizard -- get help

Thanks for a morning dose of sexism, misogynism, and threat! =D Glad to see the intellectual lefties are out and about.

[Adam Lambert]

so op is

- trump fan
- super sensitive
- tennessean
- not a fan of parker
- bailing on the team just as it's being taken over by a dark-skinned black guy with cornrows

is any of this unsuprising?

You got 2 of them right... and insinuating racism where none is present demeans the significance of real racism. Leonard is an awesome player and seems to be an awesome individual.

*Correct 2 - Tennesseean, not a fan of Parker

Maybe some kinda leg sweep grab combo tbqh

[CavsSuperFan]

Go easy on Coach Pop…Most of you will never know how difficult it is for an ugly guy to get some trim…We have to do what we have to do…

So, this whole thread, was based on the OP being pretty much a soft, whiny, complainer that will quit his fandom because his coach shares different political views on him. That was a fest of epic proportions.

Attention seeking (also called drawing attention or garnering attention) is behaving in a way which is in pursuit of attention from others. The attention they receive gives them a good feeling and boosts their self-esteem and self-worth.[citation needed] Where such behaviour is excessive and inappropriate, the term is often used pejoratively in regard to children's behaviour in front of peers or to negative domestic interactions.

Enjoying the attention of others is socially acceptable in some situations.[1] In some instances, however, the need for attention can lead to new difficulties and may highlight underlying, preexisting ones. However, as a tactical method, it is often used in combat, theatre (upstaging) and it is fundamental to marketing. One strategy used to counter various types of attention-seeking behaviour is planned ignoring.

2,900,000 marched and you can count on one hand the number of things that resulted in damage, all from one small group of people wearing black jumpsuits.

It's ing absurd how transparent your narrative is. Keep trying to justify your viewpoints.

So you condone and accept even the smallest amount of violence or vandalism, cause I do not.

No, but if you want to play the strawman game, it's going to be a waste of your time.

And, apparently, not actually leaving.

You'll note that I said I'm not supporting the Spurs anymore while this sort of thing is tolerated... I never said I'm leaving the forum, though after a few days it's likely I'll be gone for a significant time.

[Fabbs]

I'm not watching anymore Spurs games or purchasing their merchandise (and I'm not the only one out there). But I am staying in this thread so those of you who think an emoji is a point can't pretend your intellectual wee-wees are bigger than a gnat.

Rack it.

Yes, tolerating free speech and thought in a republic like ours is really beyond the pale. Who would ever tolerate such a thing! And from a military veteran, no less!

In any event, I'm sure you'll be missed when you've actually gone.

Tolerating and monetary support are two different things. I.e. I respect the right of others to believe in astrology, but I do not support it monetarily. Same thing here.

The Sports World Continues To Roast Donald Trump's Liars


Warriors head coach Steve Kerr’s joke at the expense of White House press secretary Sean er and the Trump administration’s embrace of “alternative facts” seems to have inspired others to get in on the roast. The sports people are crackin’ jokes and we are loving it.


Gregg Popovich already gave us an anti-Trump speech this week, so you know he brought it (via the New York Daily News):

“Kawhi (Leonard) is out with an injury that’s not really an injury, but hopefully it will heal quickly,” Popovich said, before jokingly adding, “That’s a figurative statement. It sounds like some of the things that are going on politically in the world. I apologize. I just gave an alternative fact. I shouldn’t have done that. But it wasn’t a lie, so don’t try to pin that on me. I’m tired of you guys pinning that on me.”

Ha! Got ‘em.

How about you, Brad Stevens, you want in on this?

yeah, man.

Uh oh, here comes Tennessee basketball:

And here’s one from Saturday’s game between the Stars and Capitals:

Solid burns, everyone. Please keep it up.
