Summary

So Lloyd Pierce is now former coach of the Atlanta Hawks.  And Rick Carlisle, coach of the Dallas Mavericks tells us he's a great Democrat.  Who the hell cares about that?  He's a coach, not a politician!  His record and his relationship with his players is what got him fired.  Yet Rick goes on to say this...“Georgia, in very large part because of Lloyd’s work and commitment, went from being a traditional Republican state to a Democratic state – not only in the electoral college vote in the presidential election, but also in the runoff elections in January, which has massively changed the landscape of our country,”  Are you effing kidding me?  What is going on here?  I'll tell you what.  In today's rant.   Learn more about your ad choices.
