49ers star Christian McCaffrey recalls hilarious 'cracker' compliment with Australian barber

For Christian McCaffrey, the San Francisco 49ers’ trip to Australia was quite the learning experience, as he found that words and sayings are a lot different Down Under.

McCaffrey, 30, revealed a hilarious interaction he had with a barber while getting a haircut.

"I was getting a haircut a few days ago and one of the barbers looks at me and says, ‘Looks cracker,'" McCaffrey said during his postgame press conference.

McCaffrey, accustomed to "cracker" being used as a derogatory term for White people, had no idea the barber was paying him a compliment.

"I didn’t know what it meant, I guess that means it looks good.

But that was funny," McCaffrey said.

"He said (cracker) again, I said, ‘Dude, I hear that every Sunday.’ That was good, we had a good moment.

I enjoy all the slang," McCaffrey said with a smile.

The 49ers had plenty of reasons to joke after their 27-7 trouncing of the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night.

McCaffrey had 10 carries for 68 yards while also catching five passes for 20 yards.

Rookie running back Kaelon Black split carries with McCaffrey, presumably in an effort to keep the four-time Pro Bowler healthy and had 14 carries for 65 yards.
