Let me guess what the Bama fans defending Miller will say:
- The journalist is an Auburn grad
- Y'all are jealous
- Melt
You guys are despicable.

The stepfather of Jamea Harris just wanted to buy a bottle to take the edge off. Even at the supermarket, though, Kelvin couldn’t escape trauma caused by the men’s basketball team representing the University of Alabama.
This is a tough story. It involves those infamous T-shirts that showed up in Nashville at the SEC Tournament. The family of Harris saw them. Heard talked to me about it over the phone on my way back from Nashville. The effect of this controversial Alabama basketball team turned ugly there, and it hurt the surviving family of Harris back home in Birmingham.
This team is a flashpoint. No way around it. Alabama won the tournament over the weekend, but the image of the university continued to lose respectability when two scumbags showed up to Bridgestone Arena wearing T-shirts celebrating the death of Harris. Harris was killed in a shooting on Jan.15 involving Alabama basketball players.

They have long given up on winning the argument on merit. Hurling insults is all they have left. Acting like entitled teenagers…

The school that covered for Aaron Hernandez should probably sit this one out.

You didn't quote the most glaring part:
And this will get a knee-jerk 2nd Amendment reaction but don't schools have a little bit more responsibility to preach to their players about the perils of gun culture? Was anybody remotely surprised by the news that Malik Nabers was packing or that a Bama basketball player was out wielding a gun (let alone shot and killed somebody with it)?
But melt, triggered, virtue, whatever. Schools are powerless to do anything because athletes gonna athlete and can't be controlled off campus and it's anti-American to suggest that maybe just maybe schools ought to do more to counter gun culture.
quote:
When Kelvin was in Publix trying to pick out a bottle of wine for his wife, there was an Alabama fan on the phone doing the same thing. The fan was laughing about the T-shirts with whomever was on the other end of the conversation.
“It’s like he knew the people who wore the T-shirts,” Heard said.
It took everything for Heard to keep his cool. What would you do in that situation if Harris was your step-daughter and you were now raising Harris’ son? Kelvin somehow walked away.
“I wanted to tell him that Jamea was shot in the face,” Heard said. “Her beautiful face. She would be alive if Alabama basketball players had made different decisions that night. And this guy was laughing about it.”
And this will get a knee-jerk 2nd Amendment reaction but don't schools have a little bit more responsibility to preach to their players about the perils of gun culture?

quote:
Gun culture among basketball and football players can’t be brushed aside no matter how awkward it makes news conferences after games. Schools in the SEC and beyond should study what’s taking place around the Alabama basketball team, and then make sure athletes never carry firearms while on scholarship. Don’t give me the misplaced, and misguided arguments about the Second Amendment either. This isn’t about the right to bear arms. Gun culture in America takes the lives of people every day. It’s an epidemic, and athletes on TV can use their platforms to help instead of harm.
But melt, triggered, virtue, whatever. Schools are powerless to do anything because athletes gonna athlete and can't be controlled off campus and it's anti-American to suggest that maybe just maybe schools ought to do more to counter gun culture.

ForeverGator is winning me over big time lately. Nothing you've said has been wrong. Bama is a laughing stock.

I’m shocked Joe Goodman would write another article about this.. oh wait.. that’s all his written and said the same thing in every article

But Alabama basketball sure as hell can avoid Joe Goodman.

They’re a disgusting bunch.

Bama kicked the quilts ones out of school. The shooting did not happen on campus. UA owes nothing to the family. LSU owes nothing to the girl that was raped and killed. It’s all tragic, but the schools are not responsible

Linking a Joe Goodman article should be a permaban

Alabama fans are trash.
They played the hit man after the fact.
