In many states and communities, college football coaches are the most influential voices around. If Saban can set an example on how to peacefully protest, then he should do it. Given the riots we saw in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the aftermath of Jacob Blake being shot, I think we can all agree this situation in Alabama is much better.

There’s nothing wrong with protesting when you believe in something. That’s as American as it gets. That’s what the red, white and blue are all about.
All I ask is that when discussing events that might inspire these protests, we stick to the facts and let the investigations play out.
Jumping the gun almost never ends well. In this country, protests are a positive, but we must stick to the facts of whatever we’re discussing. If we can do that, then we’re going to win each and every day.
Finally, people were apparently calling for Saban to be fired for leading this march, which is a mind-blowing take. There’s a better chance I become president than Nick Saban is ever fired by Alabama.

What’s clear in the @bigten is division. Commissioner Warren dodged every question & every follow up from @BTNDaveRevsine on his own Network. The vote originally leaked as 12-2 to the media, was done so incorrectly. It was 8-6, and it’s impossible politics didn’t play a role. — Tim Brando (@TimBrando) August 16, 2020

LeBron James should stick to what he knows because he ’ s clearly way over his skis on politics .

I wonder what changed .

“The whisteblower — whose identity, rap sheet and long history working as a consultant to various campaigns were confirmed by The Post — says he not only changed ballots himself over the years, but led teams of fraudsters and mentored at least 20 operatives in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — a critical 2020 swing state,” Levin continued.
WATCH:
The operative told the Post that “some methods are really simple, like sending a team into a neighborhood after ballots are mailed out and then knock on the doors and convince people to hand them over,” Leventhal explained. “The operative claims a shocking number of people actually do that, and then they can just throw out the ballots cast for the other side. He says postal workers are sometimes in on the scam, tossing loads of ballots from areas known as Republican strongholds.”
Another scheme allegedly involved paid operatives “helping” the elderly fill out their ballots.
Ballot harvesting, or the process of third-parties collecting ballots with the promise to deliver them to the correct polling facility, has been blamed for Democrats conducting a near-sweep of formerly GOP-held congressional seats in the California in 2018.

While President Donald Trump has been a frequent critic of states that automatically mail out ballots before the election, he has expressed support for Florida and states that allow voters to request a mail-in ballot before they are sent.

The extent of the graffiti suggests there were multiple people involved in the vandalism, and they likely spent an extensive period of time there.
Another site hit with similar Black Lives Matter and anti-police slogans, including was a large “I (Love) Memphis” mural.
Bill Stanley, Elvis’ stepbrother, says he’s appalled that someone would deface Elvis’ home, according to WMC 5.
“This is totally uncalled for,” said Stanley. “I mean, besides the day that Elvis passed away, this right here is right up next to it.”

A worker power washed the graffiti from Graceland’s wall Tuesday morning.
The vandalism follows nationwide protests and riots over the death of George Floyd in May, and other black men including Rayshard Brooks and most recently Jacob Blake. Rioters have vandalized businesses, houses of worship, and other buildings, often with similar messages as the ones painted on Graceland’s property.
Memphis police are investigating the incidents to determine who is responsible for the vandalism.
