“Yup. I doubt Coach gives a rip about this issue, but a lot of the black players he’s recruiting do!”

Bingo!

Why would at a major University stick his nose in politics…while he is still a coach?
My opinion of Saban just bottomed out.

Virtue signaling for recruitment…he is a multi millionaire and can weather the destruction of the country…and he appears to be a first class sob…

It’s sad how many morons involved in pro-sports have gone anti-American on us. West and Saban can kiss my Red, White and Blue @$$.

In all fairness to the retarded Saban, he probably wants the Little Johnny Lewis Voter Fraud Act to pass so he can read it and find out what’s in it.

I hope he doesn’t take too many more jabs because they are having an effect on his judgement. You would think someone so health conscious would not keep injecting himself with these toxins that do not work to prevent covid infections. But he not only took the jabs, he pushed young, healthy student athletes to do the same even though the jabs are much more dangerous for them than the actual sickness.

He should work on beating the dawgs instead of telling people how to vote 🤪

Must be a control freak

If Nick Saban wants to tell me something about recruiting or offensive playcalling, I’ll listen.

If Nick Saban wants to tell me something about politics, I’ll ignore him.

So Nick wants the feds to take over elections? Has he even read the Constitution?

“I simply cannot believe OU is going to that POS conference.”

It’s where the champions generally play, not that junior high conference OU is in.

Other than that, Saban is really crapping himself.
