Can anyone explain Alabama fans’ infatuation with using French heritage as an insult?

Something that I’ve always noticed is Alabama fans, while American, really do not like the French. Reading through a thread from yesterday, I noticed this phenomenon again. Keep in mind, of all fanbases, it’s only one that seems to have this in their arsenal of insults.
Now unless I was taught history wrong, the French are America’s oldest ally. America exists largely in part to the France coming to the aid of the Continental Army. And while they were not prepared for Germany’s blitzkreig (like most of Europe), they certainly didn’t lie down - losing a whole generation of men and also having the second most European casualties behind Germany in earlier WW1. Millions of men who died for their nation.
So back to the original question, was something different taught in the Alabama public school system that made them grow such a disdain for Frenchmen? This seems to be solely a Bama fan thing so I’m curious.
“French blood” is the phrase I keep seeing uttered by these history buffs so a quick board search, only goes back to last fall, yielded these results

It's funny because Alabama was once a French territory.

You have to understand the posters who represent Alabama here.
I think Donald Trump said it best:

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing actual morons. They’re bringing low IQ hot takes. They’re simpletons. And some, I assume, are good people.

I’m the biggest Francophile on tRant so I support you 100%.

You should go to France… the reasons for disdain would become more obvious. If it were in my power, I would bring every single one of our war dead home. They deserve much better.

What heritage are people from Alabama even from generally? It’s so funny that their state is made up of a bunch of fricking inbred retards that look like their grandfathers were kicked out of Amish camps for being too stupid and they would still talk about the genetics of any other state. When I lived in Alabama, if I would’ve seen another grown man with a 50 IQ and a Pete Rose frat swoop haircut I would’ve thrown up.

I don’t know if you’re just being dense or you’re truly ignorant to this, but given that France has easily given up or has been whipped often throughout history, this has led to the stigma that the French are pussies
They’re likely referring to this, and they’re using it to troll
Must’ve triggered you bad because here you are making a thread about it seeking validation

The Frogs managed to lose to Germany in 1870 before Germany was even a country.

Because your ancestors were the rejects and misfits the French exiled to Loserana.

There hasn’t been such a total arse whipping like this since the battle of Verdun.

You should probably quit this argument. Just like the French quit when they were attacked by Germany

I don’t get the insult either. I’m thankful for France, their role in our country’s founding, their incredible contributions to western civilization, etc. Have enjoyed all of my trips I’ve taken there.
That said, you have spent an incredible amount of time and effort bleeding all over the board this morning on this issue. In OP you scream about this being a purely Alabama phenomenon, pathetically providing research going back six months. Curiously, only 66% of the posters you quoted are Bama fans (when removing the guy with 20 posts that no one has heard of). Again, that’s just surprising considering the inordinate effort you put into this thread, reviewing posts going back to October 2023, etc.
TLDR: you’re really coming across as a dumb frick pussy loser with this thread. Hope that helps.

Q: How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris?
A: No one knows.

You’re overthinking it, it’s a dumb angle from dumb people
