Tommy Tuberville wants incoming players to the NFL to shut up abut politics, as he told TMZ Sports. The Alabama Senator says rookies should “talk about what you know about.”
“Nobody’s looking for an outspoken person,” Tuberville said on Capitol Hill this week of the advice he’d give to his players if they were heading into Thursday’s draft. “We’re too divided as it is.”
“Everybody wants to make an opinion and that’s fine,” Tuberville tells us. “But, I think, especially for young people to get involved in something that maybe they might not understand as much, I think they need to let people that, whatever they do for a living, justify it.”
Tuberville added, “I’d just like to see our country be more settled down in terms of people getting into politics or in sports and vice versa.”
It should be noted that Tuberville played college football and then spent 40 years coaching football. He then would take his talents to politics.
In April 2019, Tuberville announced he would enter the 2020 Republican primary for the Senate seat held by Democrat Doug Jones. On March 3rd, 2020, Tuberville received 33.4% of the vote in the Republican primary, ahead of former United States senator and former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who received 31.6%.
