Do you reallllly believe for one minute that Saban gives two chits about his players other than can they catch, tackle and throw a football in a way that will help him win another championship???
Doesn’t matter what I think it matters what his players think, hence why he responded the way he did.

Not sure what’s hard to understand. Football teams are made up of people who have lives and concerns outside of football. When a large group of people on a team feel a certain way and engage in a concerted act due to those concerns, it’s up to the leadership to respond. Good leaders of men, such as Saban, stood out front with his players and led them. Others, like O, did nothing. When times get tough, seemingly unimportant things like that can make a difference.
Even if the cause is unfounded and misguided?
Let's say the tables were turned. White players were advocating for the end of black on white violence due to statistical deviations...would that fly? I bet the white players would be shouted down by the black players and nobody would support their cause. Should the leadership support the white players?
Let's touch on a more realistic scenario that is and has directly affected LSU student-athletes rather recently, not some thugs thousands of miles away..maybe the players should march for ending violence committed by black male athletes against white female athletes, something that appears to be an actual epidemic at LSU. I don't see the players organizing marches and demanding change for that.

You are ignorant if you don’t know that politics have now been interjected in all collegiate sports now, and no we are not the ones that asked for it

Just tell all black kids to leave the program and not allow any black kids to join? There you go...problem solved.

Or they could keep politics in sports and ask the players why we haven't heard a peep from them about their teammates assaulting and raping women.

Why do you assume all black kids have the want to use their platform for activism, particularly racially divisive activism? We gave these players too much power by worshiping them. I don't care what color my players are as long as they compete to the best of their ability and don't get in trouble. It's obvious they are failing to be both players and activists if they are letting this shite get in the way of their performance. We warned this could happen and they brought it upon themselves.

Being as white people pay for it all I’d say it matters.
Just a thought.

If Obama was in office would you or the players feel the same about him having an opinion about the president? Of course not.
LOL. If you knew me from the PT board you would know I am the biggest Trump supporter out there. To answer your question, if a coach makes his players feel he is a players coach in the locker room yet goes on national tv supporting something they dont then that is a problem. Specifically if they feel their coach is supporting someone who they feel is racist. It doesnt matter if that President is Obama, Trump or Chicken. Players have to trust their coach and that happens when the players feel the coach has their back. To the players, O supporting Trump showed he didnt have their back.

A president who has actually done things to help solve the problem and has done a lot of acts to help the black community
Yes I am aware of that. That being said, the players dont take the same view as you or I because they view Trump as racist. O should have had a pulse of the locker room so that he would know that, but he didnt because he was busy doing things partying in Destin, 60 Minutes, book writing and banging his new girlfriend.

LSU fans need to stop treating players like objects.
Here’s a thought; don’t pay for it.

By shite you mean their life experiences? Spoken like someone who's never had to deal with said experiences.
