When was the last time you attended a sporting event?
Have you ever noticed the massive police presence both inside and outside the event?
Those police are there to make us feel safe and keep the players safe.
Yet, San Antonio Spurs coach Greg Popovich has a problem with Senator Cruz (R-TX) presenting a plan to place officers in schools.
Hypocrite
Popovich stated, “But they’re going to cloak all this stuff [in] the myth of the Second Amendment, the freedom.
“You know, it’s just a myth. It’s a joke. It’s just a game they play. I mean, that’s freedom.
“Is it freedom for kids to go to school and try to socialize and try to learn and be scared to death that they might die that day?
“But Ted Cruz will fix it because he is going to double the number of cops in the schools. That’s what he wants to do. Well, that’ll create a great environment. Is that freedom?
“Or is it freedom to have a congressman who can make a postcard with all his family holding rifles, including an AR-15 or whatever. Is that cool? Is that like street cred for a Republican? That’s freedom? That’s more important than protecting kids? I don’t get it.”
Ted Cruz obliterated him on his podcast, stating, “We’ve seen for a long time that there are a lot of institutions in sports that don’t really like their fans very much, don’t really like their customers, don’t respect their customers, that look down on them.
“Popovich is someone who has been a partisan for a long time. He’s a liberal Democrat.”
He continued, “But you know, I do wish you see this at the NBA, you see at the NFL, these incredibly rich athletes who hypocritically disdain their fans and customers and who lecture them almost inevitably from a point of ignorance.
“So, Gregg Popovich is telling you that ‘It’s a myth that the Second Amendment protects your rights. It’s a myth that the Second Amendment protects your freedoms.’ I mean, that’s a fairly astonishing proposition.”
Cruz concluded, “And it is, look, if you look at the No. 1 factor that stops a violent crime, it is an armed police officer who stops that crime.
“And look, I got to say, it’s a very strange thing for the left that they just have decided cops are bad. Let me tell you this right now: I guarantee you if someone stood up and said, ‘We’re going to pull all the police officers from Gregg Popovich’s neighborhood,’ he’d be horrified.
“I’ll tell you, I’d be horrified. Someone announced they were pulling the police officers from my neighborhood, I’d be like, ‘That’s a terrible idea.’
“I want officers to keep my family safe. I want officers to keep his family safe. But there’s a political talking point now that if you want to keep our kids safe, clearly police officers are not going to do anything to help.
“That’s just weird. And it’s stupid. And it’s counterfactual.”
Game, set, and match to Ted Cruz.
