It’s easy to sound smart and look tough when you know no one is going to swing back. Popovich called the Second Amendment and defenders of it a “myth and a joke, a game.” He ridiculed Texas Senator Ted Cruz for wanting to double law enforcement personnel at all schools.
Hmm. Does Popovich feel free when he steps inside an NBA arena to work and there are as many as 50 law enforcement officers inside the building? Does he feel free when he drives to the arena and passes the 20 to 30 officers working traffic and crowd control? How about the two to six armed security officers who travel with the team everywhere they go?
Popovich doesn’t find it strange that the NBA will dump millions upon millions of dollars into protecting basketball players with armed security, but he will balk at providing the same security to innocent children at schools.
