South Carolina coach Dawn Staley hits back at NFL great Warren Sapp over Eagles outfit
Dawn Staley is sticking by the birds.
The South Carolina women’s basketball coach sported a Michael Vick Eagles’ throwback jersey by Mitchell and Ness during the Gamecocks’ 98-36 win against Kentucky on Monday and got called out by Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp.
Staley, who’s a Philadelphia native and a diehard Eagles fan, rocked the Kelly Green jersey before Philadelphia’s 32-9 wild-card loss to the Buccaneers that night in Tampa.
“Hey @dawnstaley coach leave your fandom at Home & not court side!!” Sapp, who spent most of his 13-season career with the Buccaneers, wrote with the hashtag, “Bucs Nation.”
But Staley wouldn’t budge.
“Sure can’t. Go birds for life!” she replied.
Sure cant. Go birds for life! https://t.co/hRtqmvaC7R
