[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 652112, member: 2426"] I don't have a clue about the average Alabama fan. I would say that there are far too many fans that look at NCAA athletics as professional minor league teams. I would say that there are Alabama fans who don't even really realize that the Alabama football team represents the University of Alabama. I believe there are also Alabama fans who are concerned about the players as people. It isn't limited to SEC schools. I have seen posts by and talked to GT fans who seem to feel that way. I have spoken to people about high school football who seem to be more interested in the football team than about the high school kids who play. Football is a sport. To me football is entertainment. I want the players and coaches to be focused and to concentrate on winning. However, I realize that there are many things in life that are more important than my entertainment. God, family, friends, health, a stable prosperous future(to a college student), ... There are limits and responsibilities(i.e. friends doesn't mean not attending practice because a football player wants to spend time with friends playing XBox) However, in context all of those things should be more important to everyone.
