Gregg Popovich has been an ally for black people and black lives matter during times where it wasn’t popular to do so.
Popovich who is a United States Air Force Academy graduate standing for the anthem is not a big deal.
We know he is for us and I am glad DeRozan spoke up for him.
“With Pop and Becky standing, I have no thoughts [contrary to] belief in them that is all out of genuine, out of a positive side of their heart,” DeRozan said after finishing with 27 points and 10 assists in the Spurs’ 129-120 win over the Kings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. “Same way we kneel. Don’t take away nothing from those guys.
“You know Pop speaks out. When it comes to Becky, she’s been [on the] front line, fighting for equality since I’ve been a fan of hers playing in the WNBA. So everybody has their own right of making a statement and you can’t vilify nobody for not doing what the other group is doing. I’m all for it.”
As far as Pop he was a bit more cryptic for his reasons.
Flip the pages for that and some of the Twitter reactions.
