FAU’s Johnell Davis accidentally swore on TV after his epic NCAA tournament win and the broadcast was so chill about it

After taking down No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson and making men’s NCAA tournament history, No. 9 Florida Atlantic University sophomore guard Johnell Davis accidentally dropped a curse word in his postgame interview.

While talking with reporter Jamie Erdahl, Davis spoke to what he’s been trying to prove in his career and accidentally said the “s-word” while giving his answer.

“It happens to all of us; we’re on truTV, man,” Erdahl said to ease Davis’ concern after he dropped a PG-13 swear on national television.

Hey, we’ve all said this word at some point in our life, so nobody hate on Davis for giving an honest answer in a very routine setting.

Davis earned the right to say what was on his mind after he set a men’s NCAA tournament record with 25-plus points, 10-plus recounds, five-plus assists and five-plus steals in a tournament game.

Florida Atlantic has emerged as one of the coolest stories of the tournament, and now they’ve got a Sweet 16 berth to add to the list.
