Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says 'country is in trouble,' he's 'embarrassed as a white person' [View all]
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he's "embarrassed as a white person" while addressing the death of George Floyd in an emotional video released by the team Saturday.
"It’s got to be us that speak truth to power, that call it out no matter the consequences," said Popovich, 71, lending his support to protests of police brutality and racial injustice.
"We have to not let anything go. Our country is in trouble and the basic reason is race."
