Alabama reinstates old COVID safety protocols ahead of playoffs amid new surge


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.
 
And a national leader that they don't like can say the exact same thing as the football coach and they will call him an asshole.
 
here Trumpie Trumpie. where are you Trumpie Trumpie??
 
@VySky Would you like to have a polite and respectful conversation about what Nick Saban has done?
 
Well I think we’ve found ourselves a “life hack” here. Just claim there’s a football game everywhere and red states and red counties will institute anti-covid measures.

Sure, I think its foolish. A feel good gesture. Meanwhile, what are the players doing when not at the facilities?

the head coach certainly doesn't think it's foolish and he has two games to play starting in 9 days.

Georgia, on the other hand, has multiple players already out with a 10 day period before they can compete again.

so it's not about the coach making sure his team is healthy and to win another championship?

Saban will do what he’s told, it’s all about cha-ching.

the game will go on and the money will flow regardless.

and i think it's really funny that you don't know much about Saban and his massive competitive personality.
