The Bad - When Bonnie Met Black Twitter

Monday evening was the highly-anticipated College Football Championship pitting undefeated Clemson against record breaking Derrick Henry and Alabama. The event opened with the singing of the National Anthem by award winning performance artist Ciara. While the performance may have raised a few eyebrows, the "Promise" songstress looked stunning in a full-length gown

Unfortunately some felt Ciara's attire was inappropriate for such a family-oriented event, specifically ESPN's Bonnie Bernstein

' Hitting send was a beckoning for Black Twitter to assault Bernstein's mentions, challenging her critique as nonsensical

Abraham answered back, and soon their respective fans jumped into the fray. The tweef continued and marked a new low for Abraham who enlisted her own daughter to clap back
