Arizona Wildcats’ Bennedict Mathurin has finally responded to a viral video of him touching TCU cheerleader’s br*asts while heading to the locker room after their second round of victory, and according to him, he has attempted to render an apology to the cheerleader but didn’t disclose the response he got.
The Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke issued a statement on Wednesday saying:
“Shortly after returning to Tucson, I was notified that people on social media were claiming a video clip showed Bennedict Mathurin may have made physical contact with a TCU student while walking off the court. I have reached out to TCU’s Athletics Department and I spoke with Bennedict. While he does not recall any contact, he has attempted to reach out to the TCU student through their Athletic Department to apologize.”
According to Total Pro Sports:
Mathurin didn’t say what response, if any, he got from an email he sent through the TCU athletic department when trying to relay his apology to the TCU cheerleader in question.
TCU has made no public comments about the incident since returning home from the game, and the school has not identified the dancer. Arizona will face 5-seed Houston on Thursday night in San Antonio.
This was simply an accident something that happens a million times a day in real life, and no one gets upset about it. If you never accidentally brushed up on someone in your life, you are lying. Both men and women do it all the time. You aren’t assaulting anyone. You just happen to make a false step or wrong move.
It is sad how some were trying to paint this black kid as a predator when they vote for real predators every day to run this country. I’d like to see the ballots of every person who said something negative about him. I am pretty sure I know what I will see.
