   San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, one of the NBA's most   
   outspoken voices on social justice issues, took to task people   
   who he said still did not understand the Black Lives Matter   
   movement.   
      
   In a video conference call with reporters, Popovich, who is   
   preparing for the league's upcoming restarted season, was asked   
   what the social justice movement means to him   
      
   “It’s no different for me than it is to anybody else who cares   
   about justice and who can be empathetic to the fact that justice   
   has been denied to a group of people for far too long. And   
   enough is enough,” he said, according to the Dallas Morning-   
   News. “Everybody’s tired of it, especially the group that has   
   been degraded and savaged for so long. People who don’t   
   understand Black Lives Matter or are offended by it are just   
   ignorant.”   
      
   Popovich said earlier this month that playing the games was much   
   more than basketball. He was trying to be a part of the   
   conversation, he said, when it comes to raising awareness of   
   social issues and combating racism.   
      
   “If this bubble works, I’m safer here than I would be in Texas,”   
   Popovich said. “And since the decision was made to do this to   
   start the season again, under these circumstances, with all the   
   precautions, what a great opportunity.”   
      
   The Spurs start their season on July 30.   
      
   The Associated Press contributed to this report.
