You asserted a false quote and that the idea of Bama football helping to ease racial tensions was laughable. Both assertions refuted by the article you linked.

I went to five pages of Google results and did not find that quote or anything similar. You'll have to go further than that.

I don't think he ever said it, but we need to stop acting like Bear was a hero for breaking social barriers. Alabama, like a lot of other places, was late to the party and became enlightened once they got their ass kicked.

So, in conclusion: you made up a quote that could have easily been disproven with a minimal amount of research and common sense.

I think we're done here.

What's even funnier is you're trying to act like a white man growing up in the south in 1920 that was a drunk, not faithful to his wife and an (alleged) wife beater, and investgated by the FBI for a lawsuit filed by the black community wasn't at all racist.

Bryant wasn't concerned with social justice, he was concerned with winning. Ultimately, that put him on the side of civil rights, but I am not naive regarding his motives.

How do his problems with alcohol and fidelity makes him inevitably a racist? And the wife-beating stuff is totally untrue.

I'm going to jump on your logical train: Gen Neyland never coached a single black player, nor is there any evidence that he ever attempted to desegregate UT football. So he must have been a much bigger racist than Bryant ever dreamed of being. Let's just ignore every fact that suggests that such an argument is incorrect.

Neyland ended his coaching career in 1952..1952..Nobody in the SEC had any black players before 1967..Kentucky was the first, Tennessee the second in 1968.."Bama didn't sign a black player until 1970, the 7th team in the SEC to do so..IMO Neyland has no place in this debate...

You either didn't read past the sentence you bolded, or you are stupid. It has to be one or the other; I'll let you tell me which it is.

Wow, another Internet tough guy..I read the sentence and meant what I said. Leave Neyland out of your petty debate as he has nothing to do with the discussion...

Today I have stood, where once Jefferson Davis stood, and took an oath to my people. It is very appropriate then that from this Cradle of the Confederacy, this very Heart of the Great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us done, time and time again through history. Let us rise to the call of freedom- loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the South. In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny . . . and I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever.
