re: A veteran called Saban's show tonight to ask if he would ban NFL alums who won't stand...

Idgaf what people do during the anthem, I just know Saban is a liberal. I threw cuck in there to rustle some jimmies.

I mean, who cares? Why do people have such weird animosity about another's perceived political views? It's not like Saban is an outspoken person in this regard. As others have noted, this is an extremely prepared and measured answer to a tough question given the diverse makeup of Bama's large fanbase. Being prepared, classic Saban.

What a weird place to lash out at a good American for giving a fair answer to a question others on both sides haven't answered nearly as well imo.

Did he answer the question?

He certainly answered "I'd like your take in the NFL players who won't stand for our national anthem."

I thought he heavily implied that the answer to "Would you welcome former players who won't stand back on your sideline?" is "yes."

Well said coach

You knew this post wasn't going to be well received. This is the south afterall. Where the majority of people willingly vote against their best interests because "Pepperidge Farm remembers".

Kapearnick as odd as he is was never disrespecting the flag. He was trying to highlight something he felt needed to be fixed in our great country.

Who exactly was he respecting when he wore these?



OR how bout his Fidel Castro shirt?
He doesn't GAS about highlighting anything.He's a smug
leftist piece of garbage who thinks hes so clever when he pulls off these publicity stunts.

Not really. It's controversial because people lost their minds at someone respectfully kneeling in protest.

People originally lost their minds because some washed up QB was sitting his arse down. Now, I don't think it's the end of the world or anything, but I don't believe that was respectful at the time.

BTW, it's Kaepernick...

Some folks lose their shite pretty easily and don't understand that even Kapearnick as odd as he is was never disrespecting the flag. He was trying to highlight something he felt needed to be fixed in our great country. Agree or disagree with his particular issue that's pretty damn American. We all want our country better.

See this is the problem. People do not understand that its not about disrespect. It's about respect and honoring the sacrifice of all who served and died for this country. The national anthem is not your tool to use to forward your own agenda. That is what is inherently wrong with this pathetic display. IDGF what you are protesting there are better ways to do it. The flag and anthem should be respected and if you can't simple do that, then you need to GTF out of this country.

What's the matter with this generation excluding those that served and fought for this country, is freedom has been given to them and they don't understand what it took to have that freedom.

BTW I am a veteran and I know many military service members and veterans that are completely disgusted by this. How TF do you think they feel fighting this countries wars in the OIF and OEF campaigns and this is the treatment and the respect that they get.

I think freedom includes peaceful protest. Would be a non issue if the sports media world didn't create a bigger controversy than it really is to troll snowflakes and get viewers.

Yankee Kent State baw no surprises :)
