University of Alabama running back Bo Scarbrough yelled "F*** Trump!" on his way out of the locker room before Monday's championship game versus the University of Georgia. Or so the media thought.
Sports Illustrated reported on Scarbrough's apparent profanity - audio and video included.
On Twitter, Scarbrough corrected reports that he had targeted the president. He was laser focused on his team's opponent.
If y’all really listen I said Georgia smh about y’all people in this world https://t.co/VXKFBk7Vnh

"I'm just trying to celebrate the win," Scarbrough added. "Those type of words didn't come out of my mouth."
Trump was in attendance at Monday's game. He received a mix of boos and cheers when the camera panned to him and the media could've sworn he forgot the words to the national anthem.
Scarbrough and the Crimson Tide overcame a 13-point deficit to beat the Georgia Bulldogs 26-23 in overtime.
