quote:
"We handle discipline issues internally and that’s the way we’ll handle this," Saban said. "But as I said today ... The league has tried to control people from rushing the field. It’s a difficult circumstance for the league, difficult circumstances for the people on the field. But we have to go through those difficult circumstances and still respect other people, and I think that’s on us to do that and it’s a lesson for all of us to learn relative to this."

She was a UT fan on a UT field, after a game Alabama players have no interest in the field at that point. It’s not trespassing against them.

He went of his way to hit a teenage girl. That’s criminal battery

Jermaine didn’t have access to air conditioning as a kid. So, the midget will excuse the assault. Let’s see if Burton suits up Saturday. If he does, Saban is the fraud everyone knew he was.

They have to investigate her ticket to the game and see if it afforded her access to the field, just any time she wanted to go out there. Then, they will get the young man a new Charger. The old one needs an oil change.

Gather more information? How about this. Get him in a room with you and play the video of him hitting the woman and then ask him what happened. Problem solved. . . . .geez it isn't that hard.

He did not hit her. He palmed her face after she acted like she was guarding on a basketball court.

Time to cancel old man Saban - go get him, woke internet

Chick needs to press charges. At least make it miserable on the gumps

It reminds me of getting in a minor traffic incident and one driver beating the shite out of the other driver. Violence in some people is right at the surface, the moment there is any excuse they unleash it. Same dipshit mentality loots after storms or steals because they come across something unlocked.

"gathering more info" LOL ok Nick. Just say your championships are more important the integrity and decency. You are the real like Coach Kilmer.

What’s left to gather. Number 3 on your team punched a woman. Granted, she was trespassing but if she wants to press charges she can. Just like a burglar that breaks into your home and hurts himself. Clown world.

A few years ago, if I recall correctly, the cops stormed the wrong house in California and the owners fought back thinking these thug cops were neighborhood thugs.

The cops, who had no bizness being at that house, sued the home owners for their bullet wounds and WON! Not only did the occupants have to foot the bill for repairing their home but also the NWO thug cops for their injuries and pain & suffering etc. Some justice huh?

She was trespassing but Burton is not an officer of the law and she did not present danger to him in any way. Neeland stadium is not Burton's home. She was not a burglar. She was doing nothing more than what has been done at college venues for a half century.

I find it interesting that supposedly his players are held accountable for their bad behavior, but it is done "internally" where no one knows if there was any punishment or not. Doesn't sit well with me . . . . . just saying . . . ..

YardEngr11•24 months

So, because there are Tennessee fans on the field, is this an excuse for one of your players to punch a woman in the head? OMG

brett408•24 months

That is basically what he is saying. Then he threw the respect other people bs in. He couldn’t care less. He cares now, because it is a distraction. Sagan has a well documented history of covering up his players’ criminal misconduct.

"But we have to go through those difficult circumstances and still respect other people"
Are you having a hard time grasping the English language?
FFS you people see what you want to see like complete retards. He specifically says a difficult situation is not a reason to disrespect people (i.e. "hit them"). I mean he said the exact opposite thing you claim he said.

shel311•24 months

He said the literal opposite
