University of Alabama’s seemingly perfect football program has been facing quite a few conflicts in the past week that are hurting the team’s momentum. Head Coach Nick Saban addressed the media about these conflicts in a press conference Monday evening.
Saban addressed the media after it had been reported that defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor had been accused of assaulting yet another woman. His first domestic violence arrest occurred when he played for Georgia (and was soon kicked off the team). And in good ole Saban fashion, he recruited Taylor for his talent and the hope that he will get his life together for Alabama football (because honestly who would screw that up? Oh wait.. Jonathan Taylor).
In his press conference, Saban was not eager to apologize. You could actually feel the tension through your television because of Saban’s unwillingness to admit his own fault in letting Taylor on the team.
“Jonathan Taylor came here. We gave him an opportunity. It didn’t work out. He failed. It’s time to move on,” Saban said.
I don’t know but that sounds like a pretty weak apology to me. It’s time to move on? Move on from the fact that one of your players, and players all over the country for that matter, assaulted a woman? If the Ray Rice incident has anything to foreshadow about this, there won’t be “moving on” for awhile. Domestic violence is a serious issue that is being brought to light all over the country now more than ever. Sorry Saban, but like your “barely there” apology, moving on shouldn’t be the solution.
In more Alabama conflicts, defensive back Geno Smith was arrested for a DUI over the weekend, his second in three years, while running back Tyren Jones was arrested for possession of marijuana. Jones was immediately dismissed from the team. It’s easy to say that this Alabama team could be feeling a little entitled, but then again, that’s what happens when you’re one of the best teams year after year.
