Clemson held Dabo Swinney’s annual Ladies Clinic benefiting breast cancer research over the weekend. The event raised $350,000 for breast cancer.
The also created a little bit of controversy with a segment called “Dancing with the Tigers.” That’s because defensive tackle Christian Wilkins participated in the segment and gave a lucky lady a striptease. He ripped off his shirt and showed off his “sexy” dance moves.
So this is the benefit of being a booster for Clemson….. pic.twitter.com/OKOS7kNRYx

Wilkins, who is expected to be a top ten draft pick in next year’s draft, can probably get some gigs doing some featured dancing. Probably not the kind of thing you want to encourage your student athletes to get involved in.
Clemson released a statement after the video got some attention, via The State:
Clemson Sports Information Director Ross Taylor said the video showed part of the afternoon program, a segment called “Dancing with the Tigers.”
Taylor told The State that the 55-second video of Wilkins dancing was not a reflection of what happened throughout the event. He did not comment on the specific actions in the video.
“I think what’s been going around is certainly not indicative of what was actually going on,” Taylor said, pointing out that other performances were not as racy. “Clelin (Ferrell) was dancing with his mother out there. I think the winner was swag surfing. That video that’s going around is certainly not indicative of what was going on the whole day.”
Nobody can have any fun anymore.
