Leggett: Alabama-Watson incident shows difference in two cultures

ANDERSON, S.C. — If former Alabama running back Derrick Henry walked into a Clemson bar in downtown Clemson following the 2016 National Championship Game, a game the Crimson Tide won, you can bet a former Clemson player would not ask him to leave.

“Coach (Dabo) Swinney would definitely be calling us in for a meeting if that happened here,” former Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett said on Saturday after an autograph signing at the Anderson Mall.

On Friday, former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was asked to leave Innisfree Irish Pub, a popular hangout in Tuscaloosa, Ala., as he tried to grab a bite to eat with some friends.
