Alabama soccer not often takes L’s, however that is probably not the case this season, and it’s factor as a result of, by god, are they sore losers.
After the Crimson Tide’s loss to Texas on Saturday, movies surfaced of (presumably) disgruntled Tide followers repeatedly screaming anti-gay, racist feedback at Longhorn gamers.

Angie Wisner, mom of Tre Wisner (pictured within the video), mentioned followers spit at and threw beer cans and water bottles of their route all evening, and also you’d suppose {that a} group of people that’ve been privileged sufficient to root for Nick Saban’s staff would take the loss in stride.
Nevertheless, that is Alabama we’re speaking about. I’m not saying the identical followers who shouted the feedback are the identical individuals who attacked the Black boat captain in Montgomery, however there’s a commonality between the 2 teams that makes none of this shocking.
The College of Alabama launched an announcement Monday condemning members of its repugnant fanbase.
“We’re disgusted by studies of vile language and inappropriate habits Saturday evening,” the assertion reads. “To be clear, we condemn this habits and it’ll not be tolerated in our venues. It isn’t consultant of UA or our values. We anticipate all attendees to behave with class and respect in direction of others. Followers are strongly inspired to report points to our safety assets on-site. Gameday and delayed studies are appropriately addressed and anybody discovered to be in violation of our guidelines and expectations might be promptly eliminated and could also be banned from future occasions.”
Cool, now inform that to ’Bama QB Jalen Milroe, who’s Black, and I’m certain might be on the receiving finish of fan backlash after his two-interception outing, if he hasn’t already. Yelling homosexual slurs and telling Black gamers to return to the initiatives is the habits of spoiled kids who don’t know methods to course of their anger, so that they go full troll as in the event that they had been nonetheless secure of their dorm room enjoying Name of Responsibility.
That, or they had been taught that that is acceptable habits, which is worse, and truthfully, a extra doubtless clarification.
The Tide obtained beat, handedly, and pretty, and whereas it’s an outlier, it’s no excuse for bigotry. Remaining calm and appearing civilized is straightforward when your staff is successful, however adversity typically exposes true colours and assessments one’s poise. These Alabama followers failed that examination miserably.
