In a passionate nine-minute monologue, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich ripped politicians for not taking action to stop school shootings Sunday ahead of his team’s regular-season finale in Dallas. The soon-to-be Hall of Fame coach started his commentary by asking reporters if any of them were carrying a firearm.
“I just wondered because we have a governor [Greg Abbott] and lieutenant governor [Dan Patrick] and an attorney general [Ken Paxton] that made it easier to have more guns,” Popovich said in reference to three prominent Texas politicians, per ESPN. “That was a response to our kids getting murdered. I just thought that was a little bit strange decision. It’s just me, though.”
