Dabo Swinney said the tweets that surfaced on Twitter this Saturday were an attack on his character and it was just sad.
It all started when former Clemson walk-on Haamid Williams accused Swinney of saying a racial slur while giving a tour of the Clemson football facility to a potential new coach. Saturday evening a second tweet appeared by what was supposed to be an “Oklahoma Football fan” posing for a picture with Swinney, who was wearing a black t-shirt that said “Football Matters” in white letters.
The tweet was retweeted by a couple of national writers, as well as others, along with their comments on the matter.
