I know SVG and Steve Kerr had some thoughts as well, but I think a military man who coaches in Texas and is also the next coach for the US Olympic team carries a little more weight. If this is more appropriate for the liberal salt mining thread, I apologize: http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/...ored-Discusses-the-10609311.php#photo-9389787
I'm just confused as to why they think we care about their opinions. Why does everyone suddenly think it's ok to share their political beliefs in public?
Eh, why does anyone care about any one else's opinion here? Just because you are a coach, player, doctor, lawyer, so what if you share your political views. At least you care.
I disagree completely. Pop doesn't carry any more weight than you or I or anyone else who showed up to vote.
I know right? Why would anyone think that when asked a question, people would expect you to answer it? Wtf is wrong with people?
Not everyone's opinion is equally valuable. Some people are more thoughtful than others. I value their opinion more. But, I agree, being ex-military or in charge of the Olympic team isn't an important factor.
And D'Antoni has nothing to say. Typical. San Antonio is gonna attract all the major free-agents and Houston will be shut out.
Not really comparable. It's a government of the people (of which Pop is a member). Citizens are supposed to have opinions, and in a working democracy discussing politics in public Is not a thing to be shunned but embraced (whether we agree with the opinions or not). Mike Pence is neither obligated nor expected to have an opinion on basketball, though if he has something to offer on improving our defense I'm happy to hear it!
Just so I fully understand your position - someone who is a public figure, and the most elite and respected at his profession, and who has a lot more to lose than most by virtue of his positions as head coach in a strong red state and leader of the olympic team for the country whose president he is denouncing ... this guy's opinion carries no more weight to you than Joe Clutchfan's or a BLM protester?
You're still under the impression people were voting for Trump and not against Hillary. The right has been critical of Trump. Its the left who has blindly embraced Hillary and all of her serious flaws.
Of course you do since you are on the other side of one of the greatest coaches in modern basketball. I'd feel silly too that so many intelligent people disagreed with me.
Is is that hard for you to understand that many of the people who voted for her liked her policies better? Liked her more positive tone?
The Trump supporters or Hillary haters just jelly another well respected person (this is a basketball forum primarily) disagrees with them.
Because politics affects everyone, and no one watches the McLaughlin Group: although now less so than ever.
