TOTALLY
Unexpected During White House Visit
On Tuesday, Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide football
players made the most out of their White House visit, and much of it went
unreported by the media.
With past visits from sports teams, the media did their best to
highlight and prop up anyone who would boycott the visit, but they were unable
to write about that this time because NONE of the players boycotted!
President Trump welcomed the team on Tuesday to celebrate their
National Title that they clinched in January of this year. The entire ceremony
was special, but something amazing happened afterwards that the media is NOT
talking about.
After Trump lauded praise on Alabama for their amazing victory
over Georgia in the National Championship game, punter J.K Scott took Trump
aside and asked if he could pray for him and the White House staff.
What happened next is the media’s worst nightmare.
A handful of Scott’s teammates, white and black, gathered around
Trump and prayed together in a beautiful show of unity.

As the Daily Caller points
out, Alabama head coach Nick Saban made sure that players didn’t protest this
White House visit. According to their reporting, every player
on the championship team but one attended the White House on Tuesday.
Unfortunately Terrell Lewis, who grew up just 25 miles from the White House,
could not attend due to a death in the family.
Take a look at these images of the prayer circle:
