It caused a lot controversy, especially when AJ McCarron's mother, Dee Dee Bonner, wrote an offensive tweet about the Florida State quarterback during his speech. Bonner, along with McCarron's girlfriend Katherine Webb, defended themselves from being racists on Twitter after that debacle.
Winston has since then responded, since many folks made fun of the man for his speech. Winston, being classy as he is, really didn't mind and told his haters that he's a champion and doesn't mind what anyone had to say about him.

Sure, Winston didn't sound right during his speech, but he was caught up in the moment. The man just won the college football's version of a Super Bowl, people. Plus, he's only a freshman.
Good thing for Winston, because he made a nice comeback with the keyboard on these tweets today.
