I had no idea a jock basketball coach could be so eloquent, lucid, and erudite.
Basically, everything our half-witted, fat ass, popular vote-losing President is not!
San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich says the US has become 'an embarrassment to the world' in speech slamming Trump and white privilege
In an uninterrupted seven-minute speech, Popovich slammed the president for being "delusional," for "gratuitous fear-mongering and race-baiting," for enabling people like NASCAR owners who*would fire people or kick people out of the country for non-violent protests, and for*lowering the reputation of the country to the point that the U.S. has become "an embarrassment to the world."
In separate speech, responding to a different question, Popovich also criticized white privilege,*calling race "the elephant in the room," and noting that change won't happen until people feel uncomfortable, "especially white people."

Gregg Popovich: "Obviously, race is the elephant in the room, and we all understand that, but unless it is talked about constantly, it is not going to get better," Popovich said. "People get bored. 'Oh, is it that again. He's pulling the race card again. Why do we have to talk about that?' Well, because it's uncomfortable and there has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change. Whether it's the LGBT movement or women's suffrage, it doesn't matter. People*have*to be made to feel uncomfortable, and especially white people, because we're comfortable. We still have no clue of what being born white means... It's hard to sit down and decide, yes, it's like you are at the 50-meter mark in a 100-meter*dash. You've got that kind of a lead. Yes, because you were born white, you have advantages that are systemically, culturally, psychologically, there, and they have been built up and cemented for hundreds of years. but many people can't look at it. It's too difficult... People want to hold their position. They want the status quo.*People don't want to give that up. And until it is given up, it's not going to be fixed."
