AJ McCarron’s mom apologizes for tweet deriding #FSU Jameis Winston - #MMBSports

Right after leading his team past Auburn in the BCS National Championship Game, winning MVP honors in the process, a championship-hat-wearing Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was interviewed on ESPN as the man of the hour.

It wasn’t what Winston said but rather how he said it, it seems, that led Dee Dee McCarron (formerly Bonner), the mother of Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, to ask in a tweet she quickly deleted, “Am I listening to English?”

The deleted tweet, courtesy of Larry Brown Sports:

One postgame question asked Winston what he and coach Jimbo Fisher said to each other in a post-win embrace.

“We champions,” Winston said. “We can share that. We are champions together. And through everything that we went through. Through all the haters. Through every single thing, we came our victorious. God did this. I’m so blessed. He’s so blessed. All the stuff that he handled with Ethan (Fisher, the coach’s son) and he come out here and coach us? That touched me. And it’s nobody but God. It’s nobody.”

Dee Dee McCarron later returned to her Twitter account to apologize:

@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
