My nomination for dumbest football player of the year:
University of Texas center Buck Burnette's facebook status after the election:
"all the hunters gather up, we have a @%#@ in the whitehouse"
Pretty sure that's going to make for an awkward practice tomorrow...
for what little it's worth, he then wrote this apology:
Clearly I have made a mistake and apologized for it and will pay for it. I received it as a text message from an acquaintance and immaturely put it up on facebook in the light of the election. Im not racist and apologize for offending you. I grew up on a ranch in a small town where that was a real thing and I need to grow up. I sincerely am sorry for being ignorant in thinking that it would be ok to write that publicly and apologize to you in particular. I have to be more mature than to put the reputation of my team at stake and to spread that kind of hate which I dont even believe in. Once again, I sincerely apologize.
