"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat" Bama style

In the interest of full disclosure I am a win or lose, die heart Auburn Tiger fan, that said, I am not a die heart Auburn Tiger fanatic.  My Daddy used to say some body's got to win, some body's got to lose, and if you can't stand to lose, don't play the game.  Evidently some (not to be confused with all) Alabama fanatics (not to be confused with fans) didn't get the memo because the after math of this years Iron Bowl is even more shocking and awful.

Unless you've been living in a hole in the ground over the past few days you are aware of the War Damn Miracle at Jordan Hare, where the Tigers of Auburn topped the Crimson Tide of Alabama in literally the last second of the game.  I won't bore you with another replay of what happened because I want to talk about what happened after the game. All I'm going to say is some (not to be confused with all) Bama fans (not to be confused with fanatics) take being sore losers all the way to the top floor and them some.

First, Alabama fans take to twitter, to unleash death threats towards Kicker after loss to Auburn, but here's the kicker (pun intended), they lashed out at the wrong Kicker. YeeHaw!

All it takes is a quick Twitter search to reveal homophobic, vile hate speech (which won't be linked to, since this is a family website), death threats and any number of other disgusting insults being tossed Foster's way.

If that wasn't bad enough, a young woman was shot and killed by another young woman allegedly because because the victim didn't seem properly upset because Alabama lost the game.  Here's the kicker (pun intended), The red, republican, controlled Alabama state legislature passed a new open carry gun laws this year, but it's illegal to bring a weapon into sporting events or other public places (I wonder why?), but you can  leave it in your car/truck/RV in the parking lot.

God, guns, alcohol and football rule in Alabama, not necessarily in that order.

  Introspection is necessary because this national gravitational pull toward football in Alabama took place fifty-eight years to the day (give or take a day) that Rosa Parks entered history and would not be moved from her bus seat in nearby Montgomery. Fifty-eight years ago in the storied Southeastern Conference, the only way an African-American player could get on the field would be to tend to the grounds. Yet on Saturday millions of Alabama viewers and an overwhelmingly white crowd of damn near 100,000 people crowded the stands shouting themselves hoarse for two teams that are overwhelmingly African-American.
