[h=1]AJ McCarron’s mother asks if Jameis Winston is speaking English during his postgame interview[/h]
AJ McCarron’s mom, Dee Dee Bonner, made it
no secret she was rooting for Auburn in Monday night’s BCS National Championship and she had some not-so-kind words for Florida State quarterback
Jameis Winston as he delivered his postgame speech.
@DeeDeeBonner: Am I listening to English?
Winston, the Heisman Trophy winner, was named the game’s offensive MVP and answered a few questions for the television cameras and the crowd.

"I said guys, we didn't come here for no reason,” Winston said. “I said, 'Guys, this is ours, man.' All the adversity we went through the first few quarters, it was ours to take. And like I've been saying, we control our own destiny, And those men looked me in my eye and said 'We got this Jameis.' I said, 'Are you strong?' They said, ‘I'm strong if you strong.’ I said, 'We strong then.'"
Winston went on to answer several questions and while the answers might not have been wholly articulate, they were absolutely in English.
Bonner tweeted an apology later in the evening, claiming her initial tweet was not meant to be racist.
@DeeDeeBonner: Any1 that knows our family knows we r far from racist. My tweet was not in anyway meant that way. I sincerely apologize if it offended any1

While not in the best taste perhaps, I don't get why people are calling this offensive or racist. It's just how the dude talks. At least it's coherent. Yall should hear my cousin down near the shore, he has the worst grammar/spelling/everything I've ever heard in my life ..
I can see why she deleted it right away though, that's the sort of comment you TEXT to a buddy if you really need to get it out, especially if you are followed by thousands of avid college football fans lol.
