OPINION: The former-coach-turned-U.S. senator for Alabama probably didn’t share his racist thoughts with the families of Black players like he did at a Trump rally last Saturday, where he suggested Black people are criminals who are in cahoots with the left to steal America.
Tommy Tuberville spent 21 seasons as a college football head coach—primarily in the deep South—before Alabamans elected him to the U.S. Senate in 2020.
He likely visited hundreds of Black families over his career, sitting on their couches and eating their pie, hoping to sign their sons for his team. He led hundreds of Black players on the field and shared his personal insights in meetings. His job included molding players as a father figure, helping them grow and develop into solid, responsible young men.
I bet he didn’t share his racist thoughts that Black players and their families are criminals who are in cahoots with the left to steal America.
