Yes, yikes. Whichever side of the issue Dabo is on

I hope he has the good sense to keep it to himself. I am really surprised to see Saban taking a public stand, either way. I don't care what he thinks (or what Dabo thinks about politics, for that matter). Maybe Manchin does, maybe he doesn't...

Yeah. I am tired $10 million sports figures who don't have the guts to participate in public issues, and I can't think of a bigger one that voting. Good on him and Jerry WeSt, two West Virginia natives.

Manchin doesn’t represent Saban or West if they don’t reside in WV. It would be like like Lindsay Graham giving a Brandon what Ryan Day thinks. Even so, I will defend their right to voice right or wrong opinions.

Re: Like when Lindsey called the Georgia and Arizona election

No he means like Biden getting millions of fraudulent votes in the very late hours on election night after they supposedly got tired and stop counting at 9 pm and went home to start back up the next day. You know as well as I do that Trump did not lose the election but Biden stole the election. Elections need and should be secure that the only votes that are counted are the ones provided by legal US citizens who have proven they are US citizens. Democrats are trying to rig elections so the can steal every future election just like they stole the 2020 presidential election!

You are an idiot. There is zero evidence the election was stolen and over 60 courts have agreed with that conclusion. Trump lost because enough republicans were sick of his chaos, whining, lying, and bragging. Look at the down ballots in the states of Pa., Ga., Mich., Az. and Wisc. Down ballot republicans out performed trump in every one of those states. So your theory is Democrats stole the presidential election but let the Congressional elections go republican? Really, you are a fool who probably didn't get a vaccine either.

This has nothing to do with voting rights for Saban. It is merely a show of self virtue signaling to endear himself to his minority athletes on his team and to the ones he recruits. He should worry about making sure that all of his players are treated the same regardless of race, nationality, or religion.

Nothing wrong with Dabo speaking in front of a Black Lives Matter sign ElScorcho because being a Christian, Black Lives, Hispanic Lives, Asian Lives, Native American Lives, Arab Lives and ALL Lives matter! It doesn't mean one is more important than another.

Yes they left out one very important word in their voting rights bill…. It should be called the ILLEGAL voting rights bill because those are the ones they want to be able to vote…..there is NOBODY in this country today who is a legal citizen who is being DENIED the right to vote IF they want to…,.But these liberals want to steal every election going forward just like they did in 2020 by counting all the fraudulent votes they need to win all elections in the future because they know they can’t win any other way except by cheating and lying….which is all liberals ever do!

I dont have a problem with sports celebs doing something
Jan 19, 2022, 11:40 AM
|

like this but what I do have a problem with is when media outlets act like bc icons like saban and west say this that you cant go against 'the greatest of all time'. Both of those guys are very smart and accomplished but their opinion is no different than ours. Imagine for a second if Manchin wrote a letter with other congressmen to urge Saban how to coach his games or tell West how to run the Clippers/Lakers or whoever he works with now.
Also, the level playing field comment is complete crap. Some might even say they dont operate on a level playing field and their careers have benefited by taking jobs in places that the playing field is set them up for success. Not taking anything away form them, but Saban didnt win 5 titles at Iowa St.

Very few care what Saban thinks about anything that is unrelated to college football. Saban made a calculated decision that it could help and would not hurt Bama recruiting with the kids. Nationally, those who follow Saban pails in comparison to social influencers like a Kim Kardashian (not a fan) who has much more money and many more followers. (Both have a little more than me.)
No ID. No vote.

The whole NO ID no vote thing is based on a fallacy
Jan 19, 2022, 10:37 PM
|
|
that the elections are being rigged.
All the science and intense scrutiny say that they are not. So why is this such a big issue?
The simple fact is that the demographics of the US are changing to more left-leaning and controlling the vote for fewer participants favors the republicans. Republicans need to revise their economic platform and address issues that people care about. Democrats need to stop pretending to care for the poor.
We all should encourage everyone to vote, whether they agree with you or not.
As a liberal who hates this "us versus them" mentality from BOTH sides, I will leave you with this:
We need to #1 - get money out of politics. Nancy Pelosi disagreed with the ban on stock-trading for congress. ###? Can't we all get behind that Nancy is corrupt too?
#2 - we need to stop categorizing any sort of economic help as republican and any sort of social help as "socialism or communism" or democratic.
The two-party system is not good. We don't hold anyone accountable. Plutocracy benefits no one but the very few and you ain't one of them.

Well these bills are an attempt to federalize what is a state function according to the Constitution. Cementing temporary provisions enacted because of Covid. Ballot Harvesting, no ID, no voter roll purges? The heart strings argument is based on things like Georgia’s “Jim Crow” laws which actually are more lenient than many blue states including NY and Delaware. If they want to federalize voting then pass an Amendment. If not and they manage to ram these through then SCOTUS should rightfully strike them down. Once again here we are with a false argument “who is against voting rights?” and divisive rhetoric “if you’re against us your on the side of Bull Conner, Jefferson Davis, etc.”. And as usual, when it comes to a certain party, the press is either MIA or pushing the narratives.

Yeah…my comment was more of a response to 2000, who indicated he now knew which side of the aisle Saban sits on. My point was (perhaps I made it poorly) that just because he believes one way on a particular topic, it doesn’t necessarily define his political affiliation…if we even have to assign him a label at all.
As to the bills, I don’t like the idea of federalizing voting either, but there are parts of both bills I do like…not as a matter of federal control, but one of general fairness. An example might be a rural county in GA only providing one polling location with no consideration for those who can’t get there to vote on a single day. I think fairness would dictate that we have more polling locations and/or allow early voting for instance. A lot of folks in this thread gravitate to the voter ID issue or voting by mail. To me, those pale in comparison to just making reasonable accommodations to ensure people can get to a polling place in order to cast their legal vote…period.

But that rural county in GA doesn't just up and vote on a surprise day. There are set days to vote, i.e. Nov 4th, and it's not a surprise. Plus, they should have access to request and absentee ballot - that process has not changed - well, if you don't count shot-gunning them out to everybody.

Exactly. Everyone knows months to years in advance when they need to go vote. They have plenty of time to make accommodations so they can get to the polls. That’s one of the weakest excuses. When did people get so helpless that they can’t plan out election days and get ids? Why do leftists think people are so helpless?

Historically Stupid Politics.....

....from the left, says that black Americans don't have the mental capacity to acquire a basic form of identification to vote, when an ID is needed to be competent in every other facet of life.
Lets face facts.....this "woke" movement was built by self-loathing (female) whites who do what they do best: utilize non-existent racial strife to mobilize emotionally-defunct minorities as a means to gain either control/money/notoriety.....or simply to bring society into the same realm of depression that they (the left) seemingly never leave.

My "feeling" is that his "wokeness" is far more derived from what he learned in 2020 when the media (ESPN) went after any white coach who didn't overtly come out in full support of BLM.....
Saban runs a machine. His machine is overwhelmingly powered by young black athletes who currently live in a time where notoriety can be as valuable as money. If he wants to make headlines (like this one) then you can bet that it's a calculated move by the entire athletic dept to put Alabama out on the airwaves (ESPN) which is already overwhelmingly pro-SEC and pro-left.

Here is a list of things that require a photo ID...
Jan 19, 2022, 12:31 PM
[ in reply to Historically Stupid Politics..... ] |
|
* Purchase alcohol
* Purchase cigarettes
* Opening a bank account
* Apply for welfare or food stamps
* Apply for Medicaid/Social Security
* Apply for unemployment
* Rent/buy a house, apply for a mortgage
* Drive (buy or rent a car)
* Registering a car
* Board an commercial airliner
* Get married
* Purchase a gun
* Buy a hunting/fishing license
* Stay in a hotel
* Buy a cellphone
* Enter a casino
* Purchase prescription medications
* Purchase some OTC medications
* Entering some state parks/federal facilities
* Hospital for any out-patient or in-patient procedure
* Buying train tickets
* Buying car insurance (which is required in every state)
If requiring a photo ID to vote is discriminatory and unconstitutional, then why is it legal to require a photo ID for all of these other things in life?

about this and ask if (1) if he has read the bill, (2) frame why he supports it and (3) ask why its ok to require ID for anything at all, not just voting.
The support of the while 'no ID needed' stance just baffles me. There's just no logical reasoning behind that whatsoever.

He's doing this for one obvious reason
Jan 19, 2022, 6:10 PM

and one reason only. To get an edge in recruiting "certain" athletes with high athletic capabilities, and we all know who these athletes are. PUt it another way, I seriously doubt he would care that much if it were about Asian voting rights being denied.(Not that anyone's voting rights have been denied,but that's why it's a political play)

Saban falling for this con job is all i need to know about

him. Every citizen in this country has the right to vote already. Sanctioning avenues to skew the numbers is not freedom its an assault on freedom. The only part of it that i agree with is making election day a national holiday. This would allow all people the chance to get to the polls and eliminate the excuses. Democratic voters have got to start opening their eyes and see that this isn't politics as usual. This new radical agenda is dangerous business and people just assuming its normal democrat vs republican bickering need to pay attention before we legislate away free and fair elections.

Highly Disappointing to me personally..

since this isn’t something he needs to get into considering maybe half his fan base who are paying big $ are not for the Federal government overruling the Constitutionally-given rights that our Founders gave to the states (thru their state Legislators, not the Governor or Attorney General as handful of DEM states did illegally in 2020 election) to handle their individual voting & balloting affairs.
Geez, he’s dropped a few rungs in my mind.

I do agree with a that El Tigre 1. National Holiday makes sense. Once again most bills have at least a few good elements. It’s just that politicians cannot resist adding pork or more radical items that wouldn’t pass on their own merit.

I don't think Saban lives in WV or would be represented by Manchin. It does seem Manchin is listening to the voters of WV and not necessarily the party. I wish we could go back to a three branch form of government. This two party one isn't working out so well.

doesn’t currently have the “right” to vote? Just because it may not be as convenient as some would like it doesn't mean that they “cant”. All I want is guaranteed fair and true elections.

The word "fair" has a vastly different definition...
Jan 19, 2022, 1:34 PM
|

for Libs and Conservatives alike and therein lies a big part of the problem. According to the Libs, the only "fair" way to conduct an election is to admit as many voters as possible including a greater emphasis on voting by mail which is rife with opportunities for fraud. Dems argue that voting is a right and that the barriers to casting a ballot should be as low as possible and that includes not requiring photo ID's, undocumented immigrants voting, incarcerated individuals or convicted felons voting, and people being "bused in" on election day.

You forgot not purging voter rolls. Hey, the dead have rights too. There is a reason for the old Chicago saying “vote early, vote often, vote Dem”.

They are pressuring him to set aside the filibuster. He made a promise to the WV electorate not to. Imagine that, a politician keeping his word. Most days he is one of the few in congress acting like an adult. Our system was never about 50.5% doing whatever they want.

"To enter a business must show PHOTO ID and proof of vaccine"
What about all the people disenfranchised for not having a photo ID. Just a few things a photo ID is needed, get a job, get unemployment, get welfare, open a bank account ...

Wake up folks. This is not protecting anyones right to vote but Federalizing elections to bring control of elections into Washington. This would take control of elections away from the states. The name of the bill does not have anything to do with what the bill does. Read the bill not just the title of the bill. Deception in the name.

I agree that we need voter ID in every state and district but what is more important is that we need tabulator ID.
It doesn't matter who or how people vote, it only matters who or how people count those votes as seen in the last election in the wee hours of the night!

An old playbook.

I wonder if Saban knows someone that was denied voting. I bet he doesn't. Nor do I. Can you name someone who was eligible to vote and denied?

The bill is a stupid political stunt.
It is opposed by the only two senators of either party that are brave enough to buck the strict party
line.
We need to look to them as Pres/VP candidates the next time around.

I don’t get all the hysteria over the politics of this.
The issues are separate.
Voter bill is one thing. You can be for it or not.
The reason for the 2 dems is not the voter bill. It is eliminating the safety measure of the 60 vote requirement. That needs to stay, no matter which side of politics you are on. So the other side cannot simply run roughshod and pass absolutely stupid bills without getting the middle to support them.

Do you mean legal citizens who have never been convicted of a felony or dishonorably discharged from the military?
In some states, they can never vote again unless they receive a pardon (federal or state, depending on the conviction). It's a number that exploded during the war on drugs to over 6 million people now. In all states, they aren't allowed to own or even handle guns without a federal pardon.

Everyone has the right to vote ........ but they also have an obligation and responsibility to make an effort to understand issues and know who and what they are voting for. Quite frankly, I don't care about making it easier for those who will not go to the slightest trouble to vote. I do care about those who take the responsibility seriously making it easier for them to vote. I'm not sure of the perfect solution, but presently, if you want to vote there is a pretty simple way to do it ..... everywhere!

I am so over famous/celebrities stepping out of their expertise to use their fame to influence things that are not in their purview. Like who cares if a pro footballer likes a certain brand of car or Subway sandwiches? Same goes for their politics.
Basically, shut up and coach football. Stick to pushing or promoting things that directly effect what you are an expert in.
Saban basically does this as a PR stunt to help recruiting of the misinformed.

He is a private citizen like the rest of us. As such he can say what he wants. His voice just has amplitude and this is about recruiting. No one should have to “stay in their lane” as others have stated he should do in other German posts of this German occurrence.
