Football important.
Life? Eh.
Back in July we all heard from Alabama Governor Kay Ivey when she put the onus on the unvaccinated.
She was asked what she can do to stop the spread, and she replied "I don't know, you tell me, folks' supposed to have common sense. I've done all I know how to do. I can encourage you to do something, but I can't make you take care of yourself."
I imagine she must have kept having more and more conversations, not only with her own staff but with people she is in contact with.
And in Alabama, yes...that would indeed include the big football coaches, and if you know Alabama, you understand why that's important.
People listen to football coaches down there, a lot.
They take their cues from them and consider them role models.
By the way, that's actually something Trumpism has almost destroyed.
It seems that Trump has become the sole role model for a lot of people who used to turn to smaller and more local ones.
Like it or not, smarter or dumber, the role in the community gets played by somebody somewhere, and in Bama, more often than not it IS the football coaches more
than it's the pastors and elected leaders.
Maybe it's a remote possibility that Ms. Ivey got through to a few of them.
She sounded genuinely upset back in July and she clearly wanted Alabamians to think more and do better.
