Shannon Sharpe brings renewed focus to 1989 allegations of racist language by Mike Gundy

Earlier this week, Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy apologized and made a public pronouncement that "Black lives matter to me" to prevent a threatened boycott by OSU players.

But the "pain and discomfort" Gundy acknowledged creating by wearing a shirt with the logo of a far-right television news network isn't the first time Gundy has been accused of stirring racial tensions.

On Wednesday's FS1 show "Undisputed," co-host Shannon Sharpe recounted a recent conversation he had with former Denver Broncos teammate Alfred Williams about a 1989 college game in which Gundy -- then the Oklahoma State quarterback -- allegedly directed a racial slur toward Williams and several of his University of Colorado teammates.
