In case you missed it, Clemson LB Ben Boulware had some pretty disgusting rationalizations for teammate Christian Wilkins sodomizing an Ohio State player with his fingers on national TV:

So, Ben uses the term “four fingers deep” in a statement that makes a feeble attempt to normalize this kind of behavior.
If that wasn’t enough, he doubled down on Wednesday:
"We've done it all year to mess with players," Boulware said. "No one has done it as aggressive as Christian did. We try to be more discreet about it. He grabbed a handful."
You read that right, folks. This cretin just admitted to molesting opponents as a habit. Might want to use some hand sanitizer after that pre-game handshake, men.
It only stands to reason that Alabama players would be asked whether such behaviors are commonplace. Cam Robinson had one simple message for anyone with eyes toward his unmentionables:

It would probably be best if Wilkins kept his fingers in his own orifices on Monday, should he get the urge.
Back in October, Boulware apologized after holding Lamar Jackson in a choke-hold after the play.
Impressive group you got there, Dabo. Can’t wait to see what they try next.
