In a time where so many people have mixed emotions about President Donald Trump, Alabama football head coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide arrived in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to celebrate its national championship with the 45th commander-in-chief of the United States.
It is the fifth trip to the White House for the Crimson Tide since 2009, as the team presented Trump with a jersey and got a tour of the famous establishment. Despite the various opinions of Trump and his staff, Saban dispelled thoughts on the possibility of players not attending the trip.
Offensive lineman Ross Pierschbacher, running back Damien Harris and outside linebacker Terrell Lewis all were in player interviews on Monday.
