Craig Melvin
Craig Melvin is a tall, black man. Oh, and he happens to be an NBC4 reporter.
Former governor George Allen later tweeted an explanation:
.@craigmelvin sorry if I offended, ask people a lot if they played sports Grew up in football family found sports banter good way to connect
@georgeallenva
George Allen
Perhaps Allen reminding Melvin of his football roots isn’t the best tactic, though.
