Ex-NFL Player Takes Aim at Clemson Football Team Over Race Issue as He Blames Blowout Loss on ‘White Dudes’
Alastair Talbot, Daily Mail, September 1, 2024
A former NFL wide receiver has slammed Clemson football’s recruitment strategy, as he claimed that there are too many ‘white dudes’ on the team after a heavy loss.
Roddy White — an Atlanta Falcons Ring of Honor inductee — took to social media to lash out at the Tigers after they threw away a potential upset of No. 1 Georgia on Saturday, considering the Bulldogs only had a six-point lead at halftime over their rivals.
Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck threw two touchdowns in the second half, one to Nate Frazier and another to Crash Jones, to seal the deal in a 34-3 blowout win.
After the game, White, 42, called out Clemson’s lack of diversity on its team.
‘Clemson got way to (sic) many White dudes on the field on offense this ain’t them. U mean to tell me u only got one Black dude out there making plays that’s a recruiting problem,’ he posted on X.
