On Tuesday, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide football players made the most out of their White House visit, and much of it went unreported by the media.
With past visits from sports teams, the media did their best to highlight and prop up anyone who would boycott the visit, but they were unable to write about that this time because NONE of the players boycotted!
President Trump welcomed the team on Tuesday to celebrate their National Title that they clinched in January of this year. The entire ceremony was special, but something amazing happened afterwards that the media is NOT talking about.
After Trump lauded praise on Alabama for their amazing victory over Georgia in the National Championship game, punter J.K. Scott took Trump aside and asked if he could pray for him and the White House staff.
What happened next is the medias worst nightmare.
A handful of Scotts teammates, white and black, gathered around Trump and prayed together in a beautiful show of unity.

As the Daily Caller points out, Alabama head coach Nick Saban made sure that players didnt protest this White House visit. According to their reporting, every player on the championship team but one attended the White House on Tuesday. Unfortunately Terrell Lewis, who grew up just 25 miles from the White House, could not attend due to a death in the family.

Amen.
I wonder what the song was that inspired JK.
So proud of my Crimson Tide! RTR
Just one more reason why college football is so much better than the NFL.
Well done, gentlemen. You kneel for the right reasons.
Hard not to like Bama.
Saban is the coach Paterno should have been.
Speaking as a lifelong Yankee who has only been to Alabama twice, I was highly impressed. Y’all did good!
That’s what I thought. That’s cool.
Best president ever!
Thanks Blam!
I believe this thing requires Divine Intervention.
I believe this Democrat coup is putting everyone in this country at risk. That’s not an exaggeration.
What they’re doing is so very wrong, so very evil and way, way beyond so very one-sided.
Thanks for the kind words.
