The right to bear opinions

Let's put this out there right off, just so there's no confusion:

Gregg Popovich doesn't care what you think.

The San Antonio Spurs head coach is a Region guy from Indiana, and Region guys from Indiana cut through BS the way a machete cuts through ground fog. So when he hears Our Only Available President spew nonsense, Pop skewers him for the lying poltroon he is. And that doesn't sit well with some folks who, unaccountably, still think OOAP  hung the moon and stars.

So some of them have decided to quit supporting the Spurs until Pop quits pointing out that their Emperor has no clothes.

You know what?

That's fine. That's their right, poor misguided souls. Go with God, and here's hoping someday the scales fall from your eyes.

But if you think that's going to cow Pop into silence ... well, think again.

It won't. He'll keep telling you Your Boy is naked when it's appropriate to do so. Maybe someday the people who count the gate receipts will tell Pop to shut up about Trump already, but I doubt it. That's because I don't imagine the number of boycotters is all that high.

Of course, the fact Popovich is the most successful NBA coach of the current millennium probably insulates him a bit, too. He's earned the right to say what he wants about whatever he wants.

Which he no doubt will. Deal with it, America.
