FAKE NEWS: AL(dot)com fabricates story about the UA SGA warning against Trump protests.
Alabama Media Group’s Leada Gore published an article claiming that the University of Alabama Student Government Association had sent an email out to student organizations threatening to revoke their block seating if they protested President Donald Trump during the Crimson Tide’s upcoming home game against LSU.
One AL(dot)com headline preview for the article read, “UA SGA: Trump protest may cost students seats.”
The full headline at one point read, “Alabama SGA warns groups: Protest Trump during LSU game, risk losing reserved seating.”
As evidence of those pointed assertions, Gore cited an email from a UA SGA official. However, that email did not mention the president whatsoever.
Apparently, they’ve had a problem with fights and disruptive behavior at previous games.
