San Antonio Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich hasn’t been shy about expressing his contempt for President Donald Trump. The 71-year-old Air Force Academy graduate has called Trump a “soulless coward” and someone who “brings out the dark side of human beings for his own purpose.”
In an interview with The New York Times published Saturday, Popovich continued his presidential criticisms, but found new targets for his disdain at the nation’s current state of affairs: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Popovich explained that as a white man coaching black players, understanding their background is an important part of his job.
