Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Jermaine Burton reportedly struck a female Tennessee Volunteers fan. To talk about this, the head coach of Alabama, Nick Saban, explained at a press conference about the incident and also talked about the measures the team took. However, his explanation evoked anger among football fans on Twitter.

Less than a week after the wide receiver was captured on camera attempting to strike a female Tennessee fan during the field storm, the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Nick Saban, decided to start Jermaine Burton on Saturday night.

Following the game between the Crimson Tide and the Volunteers, Alabama wide receiver, Jermaine Burton, allegedly hit a female Tennessee fan as he walked to the locker room.

In a video shared on social media Tuesday night, fans can see Burton striking the female who stormed the field after the game.

Fans called out Nick Saban

“I don’t know how many of you have been in a situation like that. I talked to him. He was scared, I was scared, some of our other players were scared,” Saban said in a press conference. He also believed that one should learn to respect others because everyone has a duty to do so, no matter what the situation.

Saban also disclosed that he spoke to Burton and had him enrolled in a counseling program. Many speculated it to be an anger management program, but it is not. “That’s not the problem, that’s not the issue.”
