Vols DB Rashaan Gaulden apologizes for flipping off Bama fans after INT

This POS is at it again. After getting away with his theatrical flop last year that got one of the opposing team's players tossed, he does this. Why is this POS still playing football? The entire TN team was playing dirty, but this one needs his leg broken.

===========================

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Tennessee defensive back Rashaan Gaulden flipped off the Alabama student section with both hands after a 97-yard interception return resulted in a touchdown Saturday.

It was the Vols' first touchdown in 12 quarters of play.

With his team trailing by three touchdowns at the time, Gaulden was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Tennessee incurred a 15-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff. Alabama took advantage of the short field and made a field goal to extend its lead in a game it won 45-7.

Gaulden apologized for the gesture after the game.

"I want to make an apology to the University of Tennessee and the University of Alabama for my gesture after the pick-six by Daniel Bituli," Gaulden said in a postgame news conference. "That remark that I showed was very out of character. That's not how my parents raised me. That's not how a leader of the team should show their emotions on the field."

Tennessee coach Butch Jones called Gaulden's actions "unacceptable" and said the matter would be handled internally.

"That's not who we are, that's not what we are about," Jones said. "But he knew that. We spoke about it, he feels awful about it."  Gaulden, a fourth-year junior, was fourth on the team with 40 tackles entering Saturday's game.
