(SOURCE METRO) – Longtime Clemson assistant coach Danny Pearman apologized for usinga racial slur three years ago, calling it a “grave mistake.”
The incident came to light when former wide receiver Kanyon Tuttle posted about Pearman’s alleged comments – directed toward tight end D.J. Greenlee – on social media. Tuttle was responding to Clemson posting head coach Dabo Swinney’s comments Monday about the deathof George Floyd in Minneapolis last week.
Swinney’s comments sympathized with the protesters and used biblical references, but Tuttle replied, “You allowed a coach to call a player the N-word during practice with no repercussions. Not even a team apology.”
