Nick Saban’s daughter, Kristen, shared a cringeworthy tweet about David Pollack after her father joined College GameDay. Earlier this week, ESPN announced that the legendary Alabama coach, who has won the national championship seven times, will be joining the GameDay crew for the upcoming season. Speculation about Saban transitioning to television has been circulating for years, and now it has become a reality.
This news is certainly worth celebrating for college football fans. However, Kristen Saban decided to use this opportunity to take an unwarranted jab at David Pollack. Last summer, ESPN cut ties with Pollack, and this past college football season was the first one in a while that didn’t feature him on GameDay. Despite being one of the show’s highlights, ESPN decided to go in a different direction. For some reason, Kristen felt the need to criticize Pollack after her father joined the show that Pollack had been a part of for years.
In a tweet accompanied by a “Training Day” GIF, Saban’s daughter, who inexplicably blocks me on Instagram, captioned it with “HOWS IT FEEL DAVEY.” It’s clear that Kristen is still bitter about Pollack correctly pointing out that Georgia, not Alabama, had been dominating college football.
This behavior is a prime example of lacking class. Mocking someone who has lost their job is incredibly low, especially when they were right about Georgia’s success. It’s cringe-worthy, to say the least. Many people on social media shared the same sentiment and were puzzled as to why she felt the need to involve herself in the situation.
I can’t even imagine what my father would say if I mocked someone who lost their job after he joined the same company. I can assure you that it wouldn’t be a pleasant phone call. However, I understand that people are raised differently. So, stay classy, Kristen! I’m sure David Pollack is doing just fine. He responded to the situation with humor, which is the right way to handle it.
At least Pollack isn’t on social media taking unnecessary shots at others. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@
