to speak on gun control, provided his latest feelings in a nearly nine-minute monologue prior to the Spurs’ 138-117 season finale win over the Dallas Mavericks.
He called out several Republican lawmakers, including Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn and Governor Bill Lee, in response to the recent Tennessee school shooting. “In what?! They’re dead! What are you going to assist with? Cleaning up their brains off the wall? Wiping the blood off the schoolroom floor? What are you going to assist with?” Popovich said. “And then there’s Governor Lee. I’m sorry to go on and on, but Bill Lee, ‘I’m closely monitoring the tragic situation. Please join us in prayer.’ What are you monitoring? They’re dead! Children, they’re dead.
“And most of you, when we were in school, we worried if Nancy would dance with us on Friday after the football game or something. That was our anxiety. But they’re gonna cloak all this stuff in the myth of the Second Amendment, the freedom. It’s a myth, a joke. It’s just a game they play.
