Recall that Popovich is a mouthy Air Farce cunt who would get his
lights put out in three seconds in ground combat.
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich ripped a Texas school
district for observing Columbus Day.
Popovich used part of his pregame press conference on Friday to take
a shot at the Alamo Heights Independent School District in Alamo
Heights, Texas, for their decision to keep the Columbus Day holiday
instead of changing it to Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
The 72-year-old legendary NBA coach likened the 15th-century Italian
explorer who sailed to the present-day Bahamas in 1492 to a
genocidal mass murderer.
"He initiated a New World genocide," Popovich said of Columbus, via
the San Antonio Express-News. "He set in motion what followed, the
annihilation of every Indigenous person in Hispaniola, which was
Haiti and the Dominican Republic today. He took slaves. He
mutilated. He murdered."
Popovich also took issue with the idea that celebrating Columbus Day
was an honor for Italian Americans.
"It’s not a knock on Italian Americans. That’s a silly argument.
It’s like saying, ‘We should be proud of Hitler because we are
German.’ It makes no sense. It’s about Columbus. It’s not about
Italian Americans. So, there are a lot of states that have come out
and scratched Columbus Day and made it Indigenous Peoples’ Day. But
in our city, are we that backward that we have school districts that
do that? I am amazed. Just amazed," he added.
The Alamo Heights School District didn’t respond to any of the
statements made by Popovich.
Joe Biden became the first president to mark Indigenous Peoples’ Day
over the weekend. He said the day would be observed along with
Columbus Day.
"For generations, Federal policies systematically sought to
assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native
cultures," Biden wrote in the Indigenous Peoples’ Day proclamation.
"Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as
well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on
every aspect of American society."
He acknowledged the role Italian Americans played in U.S. society,
but also referenced the violence and harm Columbus and other
explorers of the age brought about on the Americas.
"Today, we also acknowledge the painful history of wrongs and
atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations
and Indigenous communities," Biden wrote. "It is a measure of our
greatness as a Nation that we do not seek to bury these shameful
episodes of our past — that we face them honestly, we bring them to
the light, and we do all we can to address them."
