Meanwhile, the reporter has been found to have tweeted racist comments and all I've been seeing are excuses as to why what she did isn't all that bad.
Not from me... I've been denying that her comments aren't actually racist at all. Shit, she didn't even talk about a race in any of them. She just typed the word "racist" and forwarded a tweet from a parody account.
Again, if that's the standard for what exposes a racist these days, I'm fucked for having spammed all my friends with Onion shit like this.
If that’s what you choose to believe, fine. I don’t really care to try to change your mind. This has been a very petty ‘story’ to begin with and am not really interested in continuing on with the topic. As far as I’m concorned they both said/done some dumb shit and have both apologized. So I’m done discussing this topic and would like to move on... please?
That's a stupid interpretation of her words. Like, really... saying the word 'racist' doesn't make the speaker of a sentence racist, unless this sentence is also an example of me being a racist.
Are we really taking tweets from years ago as any kind of relevant Â
I used to try to shift blame off me when I was a kid if I did something wrong by ratting out someone else for misbehaving. But that was when I 8 years old. Why are adults doing this?
After careful thought I understand that my word choice was extremely degrading and hurtful to women and, to be honest, that was not my intentions.
If you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you.
I'm a man who tries to be a positive role model in my community and tries to use my platform to inspire others.
I take ownership to everything that comes with that and what I did was extremely unacceptable.
I'm a father to two beautiful daughters and at their age I try to instill in them that they can do and be anything that they want to be.
The fact that during this whole process I've already lost sponsors and fans, I realize that the joke really is on me.
I've learned a valuable lesson from this. To the young people who see this, I hope that you learn something from this as well.
Don't be like me. Be better than me.
To the reporters, to the journalists, to the moms, supermoms, to the daughters, sisters and the women all around the world, I sincerely apologize and hope that you can find the kindness in your heart to forgive me.'
The one thing I can't stand when famous people make public apologies is when they say the words "I made a mistake". Cam didn't do that, which is why I thought it was a sincere apology. If he says something offensive like that again we can all kill him for it, but I think it's time to move on.
Where the hell have you been? It's 2017, bro. Making up excuses and finger pointing is what is acceptable and everyone has an excuse in queue for their mishaps or and when they're called out on their bullshit. Who the hell exactly owns up to anything, when you clearly never have to anymore? The key is to deny and blame others for your woes.
It's a common practice. It's culturally good. The offending group having to hear it and not be able to say it is the world's smallest payback.
