Nov 9 (Reuters) - Outspoken Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy joined a number of other non-political voices on Wednesday in condemning the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, stating that he was "ashamed" of the outcome.
Several actors, writers and musicians had earlier expressed their disappointment at Republican Trump's successful election, with many having publicly supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton beforehand.
A visibly shaken Van Gundy, however went further, and felt Trump's rhetoric about women, ethnic minorities and immigrants during the campaign would only damage the country.
"It's embarrassing. I can't say I've ever been ashamed of our country until today," Van Gundy told reporters.
