Ain’t nothing wrong with him wearing pink fingernail polish and having a pink phone case. Quite frankly, if he goes to Chicago then Bears fans should be rocking whatever he is. Stop the hate and accept him for who he is.”

The controversy heated up so much that questions loom around Williams’ “conduct.”However, the player seemed to be unapologetic about his choices when he made an appearance at the USC women’s basketball game. Jack McGuire, a Barstool employee who avidly covers college football, pointed out Williams’ action as “crazy”, to which Williams responded in a tweet where he said, “Your pfp is crazy ngl”. Interestingly, there lies a story behind the player painting his nails.
