UAB Players Reaction To The Decision to Cut Football-THE ORIGINAL VERSION 

This gotta be a movie for real

They didn’t sell out. And they barely fill out half the stadium now.

Josh Denson lmao 😂 so damn true

Carlos Oliveros lol

@@houstonmade1909 2:50

He said, "I'm tired of listening to 'it' (not him)". The "it" he was referring to was the disrespectful interrupting from the players. The coach (who is actually going to lose money and be out of a job because of this) is handling it a lot better than most of these players that aren't getting paid anyways, most likely never were going to go to the NFL anyways, and can easily transfer if they truly are NFL-caliber. The coach (who likely has a family and kids to feed, unlike the players) is in a lot worse of a position and he still handled it like a man. Now did the old guy making the announcement do a good job at telling these players that the decision was made to cut football? No, he did a terrible job. It could have gone A LOT smoother if he just stuck to the financial element. Instead of saying, "nobody cares about UAB football more than I do" (which was an incredibly stupid thing to say), he should have just said, "Look, I dont want football to go away either, but it's just not financially sustainable to continue the program. We're losing money and we can't continue to dig ourselves into debt. It has nothing to do with you guys (referring to the players) or your ability to play the game. This is all economics and has nothing to do with you. Im sincerely sorry this is happening to you. Thank you for your years of dedication to UAB football. If you stay, you scholarships will still be honored. If you decide to transfer, I completely understand and wish you the best of luck."

How is he a legend? It's all about money for the guys in suits!! They come in there feeding them bullshit..... and you're concerned about him finishing his sentence? You're so ignorant.... shut the fuck up

True. UAB NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING!!!

truth and it's fucking sad....

Nobody listen to Tim. Because of this outcry and somebody recording it- the public scrutiny was to severe and it was shortly reinstated. The biggest thing we have against suits is public scrutiny which is both good and bad because it can be hijacked by snowflakes (people left or right). But in this instance it worked for the better

TheCnorton19 e doesn’t give a single fuck about them

But they are still a team now so who cares

Tux it’s fucked up that this ever happened, that’s like saying the WW2 is over so who cares

and they went 6-6 but they didnt play the bowl game but they are back this year and are 7-4 so far

absolute dumbass. i hope most got in somewhere else but ik they probably didn’t cause he fucked them all over. not an easy thing to do at all and he doesn’t care in the slightest

So true! What makes college football amazing as well is that the UAB community rallied together and got this team back and it's looking like UAB could go to a bowl game after being shutdown just three years ago. What a turnaround and that's why college football is so special

Joseph Hansonito those happen in the nfl

college and pro are both looked as a business by the owners thats why alot of time high school is where its at its not about the money where someone is going to get traded or cut or the athletes just exploited for money in college

Football is just a sport that is naturally about teamwork. It forms families, at whatever skill level.

Joseph Hansonito and baseball also you create that special bond

:(

Sorry bro, I was homeless for my senior year in 2012. I was a starter and had to get a job as a dish washer just so I could eat. I missed a couple games and just decided I couldn’t play anymore. Shit happens but I promise you’ll get another shot if you go the college route.

I’m really sorry to hear that.

America messed up COVID.

I’ve been blessed to have a my football senior year but it was only 6 games since some schools opted out to play in the spring but idc I’m beyond blessed to have a senior season

yup the money they can make for themselves by exploiting the actual talented hardworkers. it's fucked up how this world is run.

Left and right are both fucked up and have their fucked up agendas to kill us all and enslave us through the illusion of freedom. “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to see it” - George Carlin.

Yup. The problem with politics is that money is involved. money always comes first and these politicians never have to feel the negative impacts their decisions make. But we do. We’re the ones who have to adjust to their tug of war bullshit. Not them. Their bank accounts will always be full no matter what because they always do what will generate the most money. And money attracts corruption and don’t get me started on that lol.

9:57 Trump uses this line every speech 😂

It’s true, money runs the world The people get shitted on EVERY RACE we’re all humans with feelings and need to work together I watch football(European) but this hurts man These teams are a brotherhood

And then he said I been to every home game

@@davidcarlos9017 are you stupid? These people solely went to this college to play football. High schools and middle schools play football why would they need to cut football out of their budget. All you need is a shitty field. They can raise money fund raisers etc.

@@davidcarlos9017 you’d be sad if you worked 24/7 in the weight room and doing conditioning every day. Football isn’t just for fun it’s a experience it’s a brotherhood.

@@davidcarlos9017 that’s exactly what I’m saying?

Good! Football is a piece of shit sport that is filled to the brim with woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and people who should by all means be labelled as felons for life but are let off the hook easy because some billionaire team owner hired a million-dollar lawyer for them to have an undeserved "Get out of Jail Free" card. Furthermore, it creates a very toxic, anti-intellectual environment on campus by leaving an open invitation for future woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and likely future felons to attend classes and act like they deserve some decent place in American society. Players are given a free pass on having shitty grades, free passes for not just bad but horribly criminal behavior, and basically allowed to do almost anything they like on campus for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they just so happen to spend lots of time playing a game that was designed for children and was adored by blithering, drunk retards. Notice the use of the word "was" in that last sentence. Thank you God and Jesus Christ for sending Colin Kaepernick into the NFL and starting the unstoppable chain reaction which will without any doubt completely destroy everything that league used to be. UAB is doing nothing wrong in any way with this move to cut the program; they are simply correcting a terrible injustice which has been forced on the students who actually go to the school for the right reasons, and they are taking away the ridiculously stupid free lunch ticket that all of the ogre-looking pieces of shit on the gridiron should have never been given in the first place. Next step is to cut about half of the Liberal Arts "education" programs and then the school will be able to start returning back to a place of knowledge instead of the place of feelings and football jocks that it devolved into over the last fifty years.

djhenyo if you feel so strongly about this maybe instead of wishing they should cut football and liberal arts programs. Then here's a thought that may have not crossed your hard headed mind, put yourself out in the forefront of cutting programs and make your voice heard rather than just bitching about it over a RU-vid comment. If you feel so strongly about what you're preaching here then you should have no problem getting a group together to end football and liberal arts programs but hey if you just wanna bitch about it over the internet then be my guest but either handle the shit your so fired up about or stop bitching

greed, I mean... how do you know? The program was probably hemorrhaging money. CEOs jobs are to make something profitable. Who knows the reason? I doubt this guy is pocketing the money they save. Life's unfair.

The money spent on football was taking the whole place down
