During his weekly press conference Tuesday, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney took on what he called the “thumb gangsters” who are all over the place on the internet and social media these days.
Swinney’s comment was in response to a question about how star quarterback Trevor Lawrence has handled the attention and, in some cases, criticism that came along with his outspokenness in the “We Want To Play” movement in August to ensure that college football was played in 2020, as well as the role Lawrence played along with some of his teammates in organizing the Clemson Community Peaceful Demonstration on campus in June.
