Gregg Popovich is āsick to his stomachā that Donald Trump was elected
āIām still sick to my stomach, not basically because the Republicans won, but because of the disgusting tenor and tone of the comments that have been xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic,ā Popovich began. āI live in a country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone. Thatās the scariest part of it to me.ā
<snip>
It leaves me wondering where Iāve been living and with whom Iām living,ā Popovich said. āThe fact that people can gloss that over and start talking about the transition team and weāre all going to to be Kumbaya now and making the country good without talking about it and any of those things.ā
<snip>
At the end, he said āWe are Rome,ā a sentiment he expressed in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Last week, Popovich wore a āVote for Pedroā shirt in the Spursā locker room, a nod to Napoleon Dynamite. That was a more playful way of expressing his displeasure with the election. This time, he was much more direct.
Many other NBA figures have spoken out about the results of the election, including LeBron James, Stan Van Gundy, and Steve Kerr. Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers expressed a similar view of Trump, but encouraged those protesting to āgo do somethingā to make a difference.

This blows me away that Pop got so emotional on this. Typically, he quite low key and tries to stay away from the spotlight.
He hits the nail on the head.
