"Come On, Nick! How can you be so stupid as to be sucked into politics and condone anarchy?”  

In a word "recruiting."  His (and all successful) college coaches' bread and butter comes from being able to recruit the top high school players, and you can rest assured that they (coaches) are all about the bread and butter.  Saban is a very fine coach, but he was mediocre during his stint at Michigan State.  From 1995 to 1997, under Saban Michigan State finished 6–5–1, 6–6, and 7–5. In comparison, MSU had finished 5–6, 6–6, and 5–6 (prior to NCAA forfeits) in 1992–1994.  He also had little success in the NFL during his brief fling with the Miami Dolphins.  The old adage "it's not the X's and O's it's the Jimmies and Joes" is not lost on him or most any other successful college coach.  Saban is inarguably the best recruiter in the business and given that probably 75% or more of his elite recruits are black, of course he is going to support the BLM movement, as will most any other successful college coach.  Stupid, he is not.
