Nick Saban vs. the USA
Wow! Last week, I titled my article "Happy New Year Pt. 2 or 2024-The Year of Major Changes?" How many of us thought that one of those changes would be the announced retirement on Jan. 11th of Head Coach Nick Saban? I know some wondered whether it would happen, but I for one was still hoping it wouldn't happen for another couple years if his health held up. I arrived in Alabama before Nick Saban's second season but first winning season. My oldest grandson's age parallels Coach Saban's tenure with us. The end of a era, for those of us that like college football and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team.
But as I mentioned in the last 2 articles, I'm concerned that this is just the beginning and will be minor compared to what is likely coming. With a national debt that surpassed the $34 trillion mark a couple of weeks ago, huge deficit spending that's causing considerable inflation, what amounts to an invasion at the southern border and who knows how many crossing the northern border, Trump being taken off the ballot in two states and constantly charged with likely bogus charges, a 2020 general election that Joe Biden likely didn't win, and Jan. 6, 2021 so-called insurrection that was not even a riot and more of a protest that was provoked and aided by some feds (have you seen the video where some capitol police say they were set up?), a corrupt president and son that little if any action is taken on, a president that's clearly had real cognitive problems since he campaigned for president in 2018 making him unfit and that both political parties in congress have allowed to continue, constant challenges to the second amendment and other constitutional areas, and more.
But just our economic woes alone should cause great concern. As I've written about repeatedly, where do you think it'll all end if the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't return for decades or longer? What do you think college and professional football will look like in either a socialistic society or major economic collapse and depression? Reduced advertising revenue for televising the games, people not being able to afford going to the games? But maybe it would be good thing, because after all, it is just a game, right?
Look, I like football like many. It's a fun form of entertainment that the Lord has allowed us to have in His providence and sovereignty. Nick Saban and others have received reeeeal good moola (maybe he can help with the national debt ;-)). But the whole shabang is coming to an end sooner or later if we don't do everything we need to do to stop the runaway economy freight train and protect our constitutional republic. Sports is one of the distractions used by the earthly 'powers that be'. I for one would rather it all come tumbling down if that's what it would take to wake up, even though I'm interested in the meantime who will be the next Alabama football head coach.
So to Nick Saban, who retired about a month after I did ;-), I wish you and Ms. Terry the best. Thank you for what you did for Alabama football and the state. I would imagine we might see the GOAT on a sports network analyzing a game here and there. To the rest of us, let's be thankful that God has blessed us with sooo much more than our needs and all more than what we deserve, and use this as a reminder that what's happening to our country could cause it all to disappear. If you are on the internet and Facebook, I strongly encourage you to follow me on my Blog and Facebook pages for local, state, national and global issues. Thank you, and--- Roll Tide :-).
