I think the point was that Nick Saban very well may realize that his statement isn't going to pressure Manchin one bit on the voting rights bill, but it is nevertheless in his interest to make the statement he did to build good will and credibility with his African American players and recruits.

if that is the end game, then why wait until we are 3-4 weeks into the Manchin debacle and then drag all these other people into it?
If he wanted to build credibility with African American players and their families. He should have done this in the 1st week and on his own. If your main driver is to build that credibility then you do it on your own and not with a group of people and certainly not several weeks into the issue. Right ? I mean doesn't that do the opposite than build credibility? And if he is doing so just to build credibility why is he the only one taking time out to add a section just personally for himself supporting keeping the filibuster intact which is the SAME exact position as Manchin?

"Most Americans say the United States is “more divided” one year into President Biden’s presidency, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Wednesday found.
The survey asked respondents, “Has America become more united or more divided since Biden became president, or has it remained about the same?”
Overall, 57 percent said the country has become “more divided” since Biden became president, followed by 30 percent who said it has “remained about the same” and 12 percent who said “more united.” "
I know some people had hopes for a more unified America... What do you think? more divided? same? or more united?
I'm inclined to think its about the same.

Your second paragraph fundamentally misreads the best time to come out publicly on an issue. You do that when the issue is really fully on the front burner...this one is at that point now. Also, he's been a little preoccupied in the previous three weeks hasn't he? Had a pretty important football game if I recall correctly.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. You accused someone else of trying to make this "about race". I'm offering an alternative interpretation of what they said as not being "about race".
I don't really care whether you accept it or agree. I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

Have you asked Al Gore his thoughts on the 2000 election? I'm guessing he still thinks he got cheated. The last one that probably thinks he didn't get cheated was George H. W. Bush...
I still think the FG in 2011 at Iowa State was good....
Do you find it ironic that the Democrats call the 2020 election the most fair in our history but at the same time telling us it's the downfall of our democracy.... You're being played.

And they’re trying to play the same game with Black voters, trying to make the case they’re being restricted from voting and that while they are smart enough to obtain a vaccine and proof of such, somehow they’re just too stupid to obtain, or cannot otherwise obtain some kind of identification to vote.
