More stupidity from our corrupt state legislature. Screw helping the people in this state that really need it, got to help those poor ole millionaire college athletes.

finally read this and my god if that isn't the most Alabama thing ever. Pouring millions into a hole to try desperately to keep people of color down. $5.25m so far and going all in for round three. Alabama continues to Alabama

Tell us how racist you really are, legislature, without saying how racist you really are...

Customers at a Waffle House in Birmingham, Alabama were in for more than just a meal when they arrived one late Saturday night.

I tried to do a similar thing once...

I was in Destin during college and walked about a mile and a half to the waffle house from my condo one night around 3 am after running up a $500 tab at the club. Needless to say I was feeling pretty good. I saw a few girls I had been talking to and decided to sit with them. They had already ordered and the waitress never came back to get my order. After about ten minutes I decided to walk behind the bar and I grabbed a pancake flipper. You would have thought I had a gun the way people starting to get into a frenzy. I told them, "Either yall can cook it or I'm going to cook it, but somebody is going to get me some food". Minutes later I had a nice plate of double hashbrowns (smothered, covered, chunked, peppered, and capped) laying on my plate with a Texas melt. I then stumbled across a few lanes of road and eventually crashed in my bed.

Dammit! Beat me to it. I did see that ad again during one of the playoff games. Classic.

I live in Chiefs country. They will always be the Chefs.

That's a really dumb idea. Whatever extra interest you can get by telling athletes "Come play for Alabama or Auburn and you won't have to pay state taxes on your NIL money" will disappear as soon as every other state does the same thing.

This is just to keep up with what Georgia has done. Even Saban said this was necessary to compete with states without income tax.

Another nail in the coffin of college football.

Alabama isn't content to stay in the late 20th century--they want to turn the clock back to pre-WWII.

Alabama bill makes chemical weather control a crime: Critic says there is no ‘chemtrail’ government conspiracy

An Alabama legislative committee discussed but took no action Wednesday on a bill to make it a crime to put any chemical, substance, or apparatus into the sky to try to affect the weather or sunlight.

The sponsor, Rep. Mack Butler, R-Rainbow City, said Alabama needs a law to prohibit activities or experiments intended to affect weather, including efforts that are in response to climate change.

“For many years we as a state have been at war with the federal government trying to cram values down our throats that weren’t Alabama values,” Butler said. “I see this as no different.”

New bill would require daily Pledge of Allegiance, provide prayer option in Alabama schools

Rep. Reed Ingram’s proposed constitutional amendment is set to go to committee before heading to the House floor for a vote.

With no other important issues facing our state, the legislature is debating a bill to require the pledge in schools and provide for a place for prayer.

It’s not obvious from the article if students are required to recite the pledge or if it just requires schools to conduct it. If the former, that violates a SCOTUS decision from the 1940s. Not really sure what the prayer portion is about but students can already pray in school and could probably find plenty of places on campus to have a Bible study if they wished.
