re: Why are some Alabama fans behaving like massive hypocrites?

quote:

Kelly, like Miller, wasn't charged with anything because he broke no laws. Miller has been a fully cooperating witness according to the DA's office.

So was Kelly.

Yet Bammers say Kelly killed someone and cry if anyone says anything bad about Miller.

I think Bama fans rightly feel that Kelly bears more responsibility for that kid's death because he was the one with to power to shut down practice or to tell the kid to stop filming

---

It is a fair point that Kelly was in a position of power and obviously could have moved practice indoors.

But as I've already posted, per Notre Dame's internal report nobody reporting to Kelly (they had a process in place for reviewing weather conditions) told him that it was unsafe to practice outdoors that day.

Thus the university was cited and fined (by Indiana OSHA) and Kelly was not personally found liable in any way.

But if we want to play that game of second guessing those in power, I guess we could call into question why Nate Oats didn't have more restrictions on his players and let them out on the town with guns. Surely we could say the same about Kelly and Malik Nabers. Just how many gun-toting ganstas are running wild across the SEC waiting for an intersection with the wrong place and wrong time? We may never know. I blame Mark Richt for losing control.

Yea and LSU fans aren't tho

University trying to say to all of its students

Not all the students.

Just the ones under the care of multi-million dollar coaches who some insist are accountable for all actions that occur on their watch.

On a more serious note, it's not unheard of at all for coaches to put some fairly serious restrictions on the student athletes in their care. Or at least they used to back in the days when players had less power long before the transfer portal. Saban's pleas to his players to stay away from Uncle Tommy, the King of COVID, resonated with me... along with him waxing on about how you have to persuade players these days on why they should do this or that when in his day you either did it or your arse got cut.

What were we talking about?

completely agree with you.

Anyone who is supporting one statement and not the other is a hypocrite.

Good to hear you're behind us playing Brandon then.

Since you've been Brian Kelly's number one defender on here for a year now.

Personally, I'd say old dude should have simply climbed off when it got too windy. Terrible accident, but I'm not sure it rises to the level of criminal.

It's hard to claim a football coach shouldn't have forced him to get down, though, and Brian Kelly was the head football coach so he holds the ultimate responsibility for that. Not sure if the parents sued, but he and the University are lucky if not.

---

This is completely ignorant. On all sides. Not only for the Notre Dame videographer's death but also for the shooting death in Tuscaloosa.

Neither Brian Kelly, nor Nick Saban nor Kirby Smart could likely tell you the name of the kid doing their video work. All 3 run/ran multi million dollar program's with a hundred players, and over a hundred coaches, analysts, trainers, support staff.

If that head coach isn't delegating dozens of small tasks a day, he isn't a successful head coach. Someone likely fricked up a delegated responsibility and that frick up led to a kid dying in a weather related accident.

At Alabama, Nate Oats is doing the same thing on a smaller scale. It is not Nate Oats fault that Brandon Miller likely fricked up in making a decision which directly led to a shooting death.

While tragic, what's ridiculous is the individuals that are being blamed for two deaths were much closer to the situation than any of us, and it has impacted their lives much more than ours, and it is them that have to suffer thru a lifetime of regretting not doing things differently.

But a few assholes on here (on all sides) have to WIN THE INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD TODAY FOR THEIR SCHOOL and post stupid asinine shite about events they know nothing or truly care about.
