Saban, not only rules college football, he's beginning to rule the U.S. senate too!

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) touted Alabama football coach Nick Saban's opposition to changing the filibuster on Twitter Thursday after receiving backlash for voting against changes to the procedure.
"Coach Saban is exactly right: you cannot throw the filibuster out and expect the legislative process to work better. I wholeheartedly agree with the coaches that 'Our democracy is at its best when all Americans are encouraged to participate,'" Manchin said.
Saban, along with other sports stars, penned a letter to Manchin before the filibuster vote asking him to support voting rights legislation.
In a footnote, Saban noted that he does not support changes to the filibuster.
"Coach Saban is not in favor of getting rid of the filibuster in the Senate. He believes this will destroy the checks and balances we must have in our Democracy," the footnote read. "The others signing this letter take no position on this aspect of Senate policies."
Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue said in a statement that he and Saban agreed on Friday to leave the footnote off the public version of the letter and out of the press release publicizing it, though it was included in a version sent to Manchin and other senators, AL.com reported.
TTT - To break it down for all of you. So former NFL commissioner of the mighty NFL didn't want Saban to include his rejection of President Biden and senate democrats' filibuster rule change. But Saban let it be known, nobody tells him what to think or do! Love it!

People elected that jackass because he's supposed to know what they value and to vote accordingly.
Not to use a fricking football coach for some sort of political validation. He's a football coach, your elected to know this shite. What a clown.

You need to start thinking about these primitive Americans who have no means of transportation on election days.
We’re not sure how they get to other places they need to go to during other days though.

We're not a democracy.

So, Saban supports voter fraud, just not changing Senate rules.

My personal opinion is none of these football names on this letter knew a damn thing about what’s in that bill and is exactly why they should have stayed out of it. They read the title of the bill and think equal voting rights for everyone sounds great. It’s the same problem we have with most of the voters in this country. You don’t know what your voting for but it sounds good or they have the correct letter next to their name.

So Saban is a pussy because he didn't want his support for the filibuster made public.

What a pussy. Dog whistling for the woke mob.
If any press in Alabama had any balls they’d press the shite out of him for this and make him answer some questions
