Alabama fans pack bars for CFP title game in violation of COVID-19 safety regulations

Alabama fans stood in line and packed Tuscaloosa bars hours before and after Monday’s College Football Playoff national championship game against Ohio State in violation of local COVID-19 safety ordinances.

Videos started surfacing around lunchtime of local bars reaching standing-room only capacity with fans packed shoulder-to-shoulder inside and out.
