Several current and former sports figures, including Alabama head coach Nick Saban, have signed a letter in support of the “Freedom to Vote Act” legislation currently being debated by the United States Senate.
In a press release issued Monday, Saban, Basketball Hall of Famer Jerry West, former West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck and former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue all signed the letter that was sent to West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin:
"We come from some of our Nation's most popular sports leagues, conferences and teams. Some of us have roots and shaped our lives in West Virginia, others followed very different paths and some of us have been rivals in sports or business.
