When Saban was asked about it, he said that he doesn't think that suspending Burton was the best form of discipline.
"I think the difference in what a lot of people think is, is discipline necessarily punishment? And you punish your children only if you think that’s going to change the behavior," Saban said, via FOX News. "Otherwise, you try to have them learn lessons from things that they do. And that’s basically how we look at discipline and how we try to discipline our players."
Saban also said that Burton won't be suspended for any other games going forward, but that he is going to counseling."
Thank goodness that's over. And I guess it explains why so few players are ever 'disciplined' at Bama. It just isn't 'necessary'.
Glad he cleared that up. Since discipline isn't really 'necessary' for McCullough, can we play him on Saturday??

“You punish your children only if you think that’s going to change the behavior” … that’s a real interesting take. Let’s say I have a rule, like, oh I don’t know. Don’t hit girls, or something. My kid/student/athlete hits a girl. I don’t think my kid responds favorably to punishment, so I just… don’t punish them? Instead I try to assist them in their voyage of personal discovery on the merits of not hitting girls. I hope Burton is allowed to spend the remainder of his days inside the Saban Reality Distortion Bubble. Otherwise he may find himself graduated one day and all of a sudden actions have consistent, predictable and unavoidable consequences again.
