At this point, when somebody like Kaepernick brings attention to this, and others who have, it makes people have to face the issue because it’s too easy to let it go because it’s not their daily experience. If it's not your daily experience, you don't understand it. I didn't talk to my kids about how to act in front of a policeman when you get stopped. I didn't have to do that. All of my black friends have done that. There's something that's wrong about that, and we all know that. What's the solution? Nobody has figured it out. But for sure, the conversation has to stay fresh, it has to stay continuous, it has to be persistent, and we all have a responsibility to make sure that happens in our communities.

 

Gregg Popovich Talks on Spurs Players Potentially Protesting the National Anthem | Bleacher Report

Well said!

Ahhh damnit. I don't like the Spurs!!!!!

 

Well said, Pop. Well said. I still hate your team but much respect to you.

Pop is awesome.

Always loved Pop ( and the Spurs ) and loved how he framed the issue . From that perspective or framing the issue that way it resonates much betters .

This proves his point, right?

If you mean it is received better without the pig socks and commie tee shirt ? Yep . I took nothing from Pops comment that he agreed with the way in which CK attempted to gain a platform

You mentioned framing the issue. Popovich said "If it's not your daily experience, you don't understand it." He's right. What I meant was as a white male it perhaps makes the argument more understandable coming from a white male. As a white male, it might not make as much sense coming from a young black male. Most our of daily experiences link closer to Gregg Popovich than they do Colin Kaepernick.

 

(In no way was my comment meant to be a knock or anything else)

Pop for President!

Pop is awesome.

 

Yes. There are very few things I like about Texas, but Pop and the Spurs top the list of those likes.

Is that the most he's ever said about anything?

 

Good perspective.

I nominate him for the next " most interesting man on the planet"

He's a wine drinker — he'll never go for it.
