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 media’s worst nightmare.
A handful of Scott’s 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 didn’t 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.
Roll Tide! from a Florida Gator.
It was a moment of peace for President Trump during a very rough week. Young men from the University of Alabama were invited to the White House to celebrate their national college football championship win. With bad news pounding Trump from all sides, the president mingled with the players, who gathered around him, putting their hands on his shoulders and bowed their heads in prayer.

Glorious.
The University of Alabama football’s celebration at the White House not only gave the team a memory they’ll never forget, but it also gave John Kimball “JK” Scott the opportunity to pray over President Trump. Yesterday the Crimson Tide took a trip to the White House to celebrate their national championship win. Vising the White House as a team is a tradition that national championship winners have been following for years. The Tide has been fortunate enough to make the trip five times since 2009.

Thanks again. This is my very story to come out in awhile.
FABULOUS!!!
Favorite story* to come out in a while i mean.
Sorry typo.
Wow. Awesome. There is hope after all.
Religious fanatics perform barbaric invocation at WH?
No. God in action with his people
That’s how the MSM will spin it? I don’t think so.
I invite everyone to pray for President Trump.
I know many do. Daily.
We need the Lord to intervene in the onslaught of hate directed at our President. And for wisdom for him in these perilous times.
Such a blessing to see. Our president humbling himself before the LORD and the nation! Glory to God!
This makes me even prouder to be a Bama fan.
Coach Saban gets a bad rap but he is truly a good man who runs a wonderful children’s charity and a devoted Catholic who even built a Catholic student center on the UA campus.
Saban also brings his priest along to the away games and they have prayer in the locker room.
ROLL TIDE!!
Totally awesome!
I’ll stop the Secret Service went nuts though. A large mass of fit young men in actual contact with the President...
Where I work we have UGA, Auburn and Alabama partisans (and one FL State outlier). Everyone pretty much agreed that AL deserved it after their performance. It is good to see they are a class act on this matter.
Now, for the UGA and Auburn fans ... back to wishing death upon them.
I’ll bet the Secret Service went nuts though. A large mass of fit young men in actual contact with the President...
Nice.
