"Insulted" pro-Trump Spurs fans feel forced to choose between their team and the president

[TexasTowelie]

Not long ago, Cassandra Casanova would plan her weeks around the NBA playoff schedule. She would wear her San Antonio Spurs gear and spend days talking about her favorite team, dissecting its postseason matchup.

Not this year.

“I have no idea when the games are,” she said. “I could not care less.”

Casanova ignored the Spurs’ playoff opener over the weekend, a Game 1 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Oakland, and she said she doesn’t feel as though she missed a thing. She has no problem with Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili or Tony Parker. Her anger is directed solely at coach Gregg Popovich.

“I am completely turned off. After all those years supporting the team, and now I just have no interest,” she said. “Popovich really messed up.”

3. The poor snowflakes

Can't handle hearing the truth. Too bad for them. Maybe they can find a nice NFL team to root for run by a rich, white, billionaire who is actively trying to cut taxes and take away their healthcare.

4. p.s. I know a Spurs, UT, and 'Stros fan who went the other way

Used to be GOP, now a Dem.

Said to me "I never knew what 'states rights' was code for until the last few years".

6. To love Trump, you have to hate everything you used to like

Ms. Casanova can sit there and watch Fox News while the rest of us marvel at a great NBA season.
