Clemson’s annual Ladies’ Clinic raised a lot of money for breast cancer awareness programs — around $350,000, in fact.
However, one moment went viral, and not for good reasons. That moment was when star DL Christian Wilkins seemed to perform a striptease for a woman in attendance.
On Tuesday, coach Dabo Swinney addressed the video, saying it’s a shame that’s what people are focusing on after such a great day (via The State):
“It was an amazing day, and it’s unfortunate that there was 15 seconds of the whole day that people focused on and really don’t know the context. It was a lot of fun,” Swinney said. “But that’s kind of the world we live in. Even when you do good and you try to do good you get accused of doing bad. That’s just the way it is, but you do good anyway.”
