On Tuesday evening, Manchin pointed out on C-SPAN that the version of the letter made public this week was missing a key footnote in which Saban indicates his objection to eliminating the filibuster while the other signatories take no position on it. Saban, one of the best-known coaches in American sports, originally hails from West Virginia and maintains a friendship with the West Virginia senator dating back to the 1950s. West, former NFL players Oliver Luck and Darryl Talley, and former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue also signed the letter.
"We strongly support urgently needed legislation that will protect both the rights of voters and the integrity of outcomes in all Federal elections," the letter, dated Jan. 13, reads.Sen. Joe Manchin talks with head coach Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide before the game between the LSU Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide, Nov. 9, 2019, in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Stay out of politics, your expertise is football.
This Alabama Veteran says keep the Republic and keep the electoral college for each state to have their say. Jefferson, Washington, Adam’s, Franklin and the other architects knew what they were doing we don’t need Communism rule neither do we need football to rule.
Nick Saban to Joe Manchin is like everybody else. Manchin don't give two hoots in hell about anything or anybody. He can shit all over the people of West Virginia and they still vote him in. It seems like his district is happy to be poor and left out.
ITS NOT VOTING RIGHTS. IS FRAUD. DONT SIGN
Saban should have 'donated' more money to Manchin. Then maybe Manchin night have listened.
🤚🏻 I'll go on record: This is really about the Democrats wanting to make it easier, not to vote, but easier to cheat voting -while the Republicans want to make voting integrity a thing. It's that simple -don't listen to the Democrat bullManure spin! 😂
More dying now than when Trump was President. BIDEN FAILED.
Incoming racist angry white guys upset with nick saban for doing this. They can’t help themselves when it comes to showing their racism.
Biden’s press conference was going great until he got tricked into admitting the 2020 presidential election was not fair. (Why does he need to reform a voting system that is already fair?)
why? how is Saban making money off of that?
Attention‘Baja fans, please inform your hc that he should stick to football or take time to read the unconstitutional, bill for what it really is.
Saban L
'I really want you to get better but I don't think you have to take the medicine.'
Sen_JoeManchin has constituents to represent. The MSM is in love with the Democrat agenda, but the people of West Virginia are not. His job is to please West Virginians, not Nick Saban.
Dunno nick he's to far in the dark money hole to care about democracies
What what? Who is asking whom what?
We can all vote now if you allow illegals to vote then our country becomes the worlds playground it’s not theirs to vote on
Where can’t someone vote even in Alabama? As long as you’re a felon or under age you can vote!
Not going to happen. Manchin supports manchin only.
