In the days since Donald Trump rolled out his executive order on immigration Friday night, numerous athletes have shown that sometimes sticking to sports is too much to ask.

Opposition to the order from the sports world has rolled in steadily, and it’s been hard to keep track of who said what. So we’ve tried, as best we can, to assemble a list of athletes, coaches and other sports figures who have publicly opposed Trump’s immigration plan.

The list is loaded with NBA coaches and players (h/t SB Nation on some of those) but also includes an NFL owner, a NASCAR driver and many, many others.

– Spurs coach Gregg Popovich – Pop has been an outspoken critic of Trump for months, so it’s no surprise he was vocal about this.

– Warriors coach Steve Kerr – Kerr has also never hesitated to make his voice heard and did so again this weekend.

– Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy – Another NBA coach who has been loud in his opposition to Trump, Van Gundy called the executive order “scary stuff.”

– Suns coach Earl Watson – Watson thinks the order is “un-American” and “unconstitutional.”

– Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey – Casey wasn’t as blunt as some of his peers but warned of “a slippery slope.”

– Raptors president Masai Ujiri – Ujiri, a Nigerian immigrant, called the executive order “mind-boggling.”

– MMA fighter Ronda Rousey – Rousey posted to Instagram to speak out against Trump’s immigration policy.

– NASCAR drive Dale Earnhardt Jr. – Earnhardt pointed out that “America is created by immigrants.”

– Marie Tillman – The widow of Pat Tillman, the former NFL player who was killed in combat in Iraq, wrote that the order was “not what he died for.”

– U.S. soccer captain Michael Bradley – Bradley didn’t mince words in an Instagram post about the order.

– British Olympic medalist Mo Farah – Farah, who was born in Sudan, said that Trump’s order was an example of “ignorance and prejudice.”

– Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad – Muhammad, the first woman to wear a hijab while competing for the United States in the Olympics, tweeted the hashtag #NoBanNoWall.

– Former NBA point guard Steve Nash – Nash’s tweet implies that he views the executive order as a threat to freedom and liberty.

– Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry – Lowry called the order “bullshit” and refused to say it again without swearing.

– Seattle Storm forward Breanna Stewart – Stewart participated in a protest at LAX airport.

– Lakers forward Luol Deng – Deng, a former refugee, posted this to Twitter:

– Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried – Faried’s caption, “Astaghfirullah,” means “I ask Allah forgiveness.”

Astaghfirullah! They know not what they do!

– Pistons forward Stanley Johnson – Johnson was explicit in his disapproval of the executive order.

– Nets guard Jeremy Lin – Lin is on #teamACLU, according to a tweet.

– Oklahoma City Thunday center Nazr Mohammed – Mohammed, who is Muslim, tweeted this:

– Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – Hollis-Jefferson called the order “inhumane.”

– Thunder center Enes Kanter – Kanter, who is from Turkey, was “in disbelief.”

– Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank – Blank didn’t explicitly speak out against the executive order, but he criticized Trump for failing to mention Jews in a speech about the Holocaust and said he was “troubled by anything that separates people.”

– Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett – Bennett said he won’t visit the White House if the Pats win the Super Bowl.
