ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III apologized Monday night for using a racial slur on live television while appearing on Monday Night Football.
“Yooooo, Definitely need to clarify this,” he wrote on Twitter. “THIS IS NOT WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. Was trying to say ‘those Bug-A-Boos’ in reference to haters and doubters. Regardless of my intention, I understand the historical context of the term that came out of my mouth and I apologize.”
While praising Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, Griffin used the slur to reference his doubters.
