🏈 Alabama Booster Files Ethics Complaint Over Tide Pride Program

[RTRGrad2006]

I know this will probably make some of you scratch your head, but I am in agreement with this guy. I graduated from Alabama in 2007 and have been on the waiting list since. Unless someone just randomly gives up their tickets, or they die, I'll be on that list of 28,000 for many more years, yet some of these guys are getting tickets just because? Not cool.

Palmer, who says he’s an original member of Tide Pride, argues that state lawmakers are basically getting a free pass into the booster program and end up paying less to obtain football tickets. “The legislators work for us,” Palmer said. “They’re no better than we are. There are 28,000 people on a waiting list who can’t join Tide Pride unless they pay $25,000 per seat to jump the line, and 100 legislators get the tickets.”

The Alabama Ethics Commission, meanwhile, has neither confirmed nor denied the complaint. But the director of the ethics commission, Jim Sumner, says the decision is not theirs to make.

Yeah no that is not cool at all. Politicians should have to be at the back of the list if anything.
