THE GAME made him integrate. Either he did it or Bama would have been left behind competitively. He wasn't some trend setter that showed the world the power of the black athlete or something like that. He was a follower that went along to get rid of some legal trouble and to keep his team competitive in FOOTBALL. Not in politics, not in life, but in FOOTBALL.
You couldn't be more wrong.

Oh really? Bear DIDN'T recruit black players AFTER OTHER SEC AND MAJOR PROGRAMS did to stay competitive?
Lets take a look at when major programs integrated:
Bama - 1970
USC - 1925
Michigan - 1890
Ohio St - At least 1956
Nebraska - 1891
Texas - 1969
Notre Dame - at least 1953
I could go on, point being neither BAMA nor BEAR were trend setters. They were FOLLOWERS who did it to stay competitive in the national scene.
But please tell me your reasoning why I am wrong, we can all get a good laugh at your naivety.
