Between the Kawhi Leonard’s injury and the subsequent public fallout between Leonard and the rest of the franchise, the plague of injuries, that small moment where they legitimately almost found themselves out of the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, the San Antonio Spurs have, yet, another layer of shit to add to the heap: Butthurt Pro-Trump fans.
The Washington Post’s Rick Maese wrote a piece yesterday on Pro-Trump supporters who have gone out of their way to rid their lives of the Spurs because Gregg Popovich isn’t nice when talking about our President.
To that, San Antonio resident Cassandra Casanova, Dawn Hold, Bob Mulherin had their own thoughts, respectively:
Jesus, I thought the conservatives were the people that DIDN’T need safe-spaces. Somebody please go get these children some formula and put them down for a nap.
It isn’t a secret that Coach Popovich, an Air Force veteran who actually served our country, has minced no words when it’s come to describing President Trump as “an embarrassment to the world,” a “soulless coward,” a “pathological liar,” “xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic” and stated “and I live in a country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone.”
Some Pro-Trump fans are even going as far as calling for Popovich’s job for stating his opinions.
What’s ironic about this entire situation is that the mouth-breathers who cry “Where’s the decorum and RESPECT for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!?!” are the same morons who give President Trump a pass for saying dumb shit like this:
The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't voluntarily leaving the Apprentice, he was fired by his bad (pathetic) ratings, not by me. Sad end to great show

Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have "tanked," in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!

Or, you know, are cool about that time he openly mocked a guy with a disability:
I love sports and I love being a fan. I’m also an adult and not a child who understands that life is nuanced enough that the athletes who play on my team or actors in movies and TV shows I enjoy may have (*GASP!*) opinions that I may not agree with.
I’m also not saying that the left is impervious to ridicule (because they absolutely are not), but this is the “Colin Kaepernick protest-America First-anger” that cursed the NFL last season is morphing itself into another existing on another plane of ridiculous.
