Ciara threw social media into a frenzy Monday night, not for her rendition of the National Anthem before the College Football National Championship game, but for what she wore during it.

Some people thought CiCi's dress was too revealing to sing the national anthem. Evidently, one of those people was longtime sports columnist Jason Whitlock, who took to his Twitter account and went on a rant, saying Ciara shouldn't have put so much of her "goodies" on display and that she's singing the national anthem, not Jodeci's "FreekN' You"

And Whitlock was 100 percent serious about his gripe.

Many of Whitlock's 228,000-plus followers on Twitter blasted him for his comments, but some agreed with him that Ciara's wardrobe of choice wasn't appropriate for the College Football National Championship game.

Was Whitlock right to point out and put down CiCi's revealing dress?
