Thread: Alabama Football Players Show Support for #WeWantToPlay Movement

Crimson Tide football players took to social media to voice their opinions regarding the potential cancellation of college football in 2020

A plethora of University of Alabama football players have begun to post on social media using the hashtag #WeWantToPlay to let their voices be known regarding the upcoming 2020 college football season.

Senior running back Najee Harris and junior quarterback Mac Jones voiced their opinions along with other, showing their desire to play college football this fall despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The use of the hashtag began over the weekend as reports began to surface that the Power Five conferences could potentially cancel their fall sports seasons as soon as this week. With reports circulating on Monday morning that the PAC-12 and Big Ten allegedly voted to cancel their seasons, fuel was added to the fire and caused a surge in support from players across the nation, including notable players like Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
