Clemson's Dabo Swinney sounds off on superintendent's racist comments about Deshaun Watson

Dabo Swinney, Deshaun Watson's college coach at Clemson, fired away at Onalaska ISD superintendent Lynn Redden, who posted a Facebook comment on Sunday that read "you can't count on a black quarterback."

Redden's comment, which was posted on the Houston Chronicle's Facebook page shortly after Watson ran out the clock on the final play of the Texans' 20-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday, has drawn national attention and has led to a Saturday school board meeting where Redden's contract will be discussed.

It didn't take long for Redden's comment to reach Clemson, and Swinney commented publicly after practice Wednesday.
