Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich is known as being extremely cerebral and thoughtful, and at the team’s media Monday, he offered his thoughts on the National Anthem protests inspired by Colin Kaepernick.

“I think it’s really dangerous to answer such important questions that have confounded so many people for hundreds of years, to ask me to give you my solutions, as if I had any, in 30 seconds.
