Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh ripped into the white nationalist who gathered over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va.

Harbaugh has voiced political views publicly in the past, though most college and pro coaches usually refrain from doing so.

Then again, after Donald Trump was elected president, some NBA coaches -- including the Pistons' Stan Van Gundy -- lashed out publicly against Trump. 

"I don't think anybody can deny this guy is openly and brazenly racist and misogynistic," Van Gundy said in November after the election. "We have just thrown a good part of our population under the bus, and I have problems with thinking this is where we are as a country."
