It was a joke. The guy in the game took it as a joke. We had a great game together. But I understand that it doesnt seem funny and was tasteless. I also see why its toxic to \u201ctroll\u201d voice chat. \u2014 Boogie2988 (@Boogie2988) February 14, 2019 Ok so after talking to some people they think I am making fun of the dude for coming from a broken home. not what I was doing. I would NEVER do that. If I did I would apologize immediately. But I didnt. Sorry it seems that way tho. Love ya. \u2014 Boogie2988 (@Boogie2988) February 14, 2019 Williams has reiterated that he believes the teammate who was involved in the incident took the comments as a joke and wasn\u2019t upset by the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
