Alabama head coach Nick Saban and his football team took a stand on Monday in a silent protest, marching with other athletes and students in a call for social justice.
“Today, I’m like a proud parent,” Saban said. “I’m proud of our team. I’m proud of our messengers and I’m proud of our message.”

Gus Malzahn and Auburn held a similar march back in June when they walked from the football stadium to downtown for a rally.
“Our players and our coaches, we’re in this thing together,” Malzahn said on Sunday. “We’re united with our plans moving forward.”
