Swinney calls attacks on his character ‘really sad’

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.
