It’s not my job to take up for head coach Dabo Swinney. He can do that all by himself. No, it’s not my job, but this time I am stepping in and calling it like I see it. Shannon Sharpe of FoxSports has a grudge against Swinney, and it’s personal. It’s not about racial injustice or what Swinney has said or hasn’t said. It’s personal.
Sharpe has been unabashed in his criticism of everything Swinney has done over the last few weeks, railing against Swinney’s “Football Matters” shirt and everything in between. I tweeted back at Bomani Jones last week after Jones wouldn’t let the shirt go, and tried to inject some common sense.
