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.


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.

Never underestimate the stupidity and white trash of the average Bama fan. How many Alabama fans thought the t-shirt was funny? Greater than 50% at the least

Fun fact. If the dumbass Bama fans (your kind) didn't wear these t-shirts, it wouldn't have made the news.


Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.

John Talty decided to write a whole arse news article about it. For what purpose? Who benefits from that? John Talty. That’s it.

Joe Goodman decided to fricking call this grieving father and ask him how he felt about those shirts. Again, for what purpose? Who benefits from that? Certainly not the grieving father.

frick you. And frick those two vile, evil media members.

Makes less than zero difference where they graduated from. They decided getting clicks from their audience was more important than letting a father grieve.

And apparently you agree.

Unsurprised, tbh.

You act as if there was ill-will in calling the family.

Your team players created this mess. The school has continued to make this an issue by playing him. The media is just doing their job. I know you want them to stop and be quiet about it, but honestly they're focusing on the right people -- the people who lost a loved one.

Now stop buying those despicable t-shirts.

What would you call it?

“Hey, just wondering if you saw those shirts?!? How does that make you feel?!?”

Who benefits from that? On what universe is that appropriate or acceptable behavior?

I’m not sure what the joke was. The shirts weren’t at all creative.

It was very bizarre.

Tuscaloosa bought a bunch of them for his family. Makes sense.

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.
