Duke Cornerback Kimari Robinson Apologizes After Viral Video Shows Him Swatting Away Medical Staffer

Duke football cornerback Kimari Robinson issued a public apology after a viral video showed him swatting away a female trainer’s arm while she attended to an injured teammate during the Blue Devils’ 24-20 loss to North Carolina. Head coach Manny Diaz stated the behavior fell 'well below' program standards but declined to specify disciplinary action, noting the matter is being handled internally. The incident occurred in the third quarter when safety DaShawn Stone was injured; Stone eventually walked off the field. Robinson, a redshirt junior, admitted he was 'completely wrong' and cited fear for his teammate’s safety as the reason for his emotional reaction, though he acknowledged that concern did not excuse his actions. The incident drew widespread criticism, including from former Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, and follows a previous on-field altercation involving Robinson and a security guard during the team’s loss to Georgia Tech. Duke has lost its last two games, with the next matchup scheduled against Virginia.
