Have you noticed how when professional athletes get arrested they apologize without really apologizing? Buffalo’s Patrick Kane is the latest example.Today the Chicago Blackhawks star commented for the first time about his arrest last week here in Buffalo. You remember that one….the 20 year old and his cousin were arrested for allegedly roughing up a 62 year old cabbie over 20 cents.
Kane says because the legal proceedings are pending he can’t discuss the details of the incident. But he says he put himself “in the wrong position at the wrong time” and caused a lot of pain for his family, his hometown, and hockey fans….and for that he says “I sincerely apologize”.
In other words, he’s sorry he got arrested. He’ll be sorrier if a grand jury decides to indict him….we should find that out this week. He’ll be even sorrier if this keeps him from playing on the US Olympic team.
In addition to his non-apology apology, Kane also said “Now it’s time for me to move forward”. That would be a good idea, but unfortunately it’s not up to him…and for that, he probably is very sorry.
Does anyone else think he should "sincerely apologize" to the cab driver he punched out over 20 freaking cents? What a greedy loser!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I love how he apologized to the city of Buffalo (like anyone cares) his family (who wasn't there) & his fans (who should realize he's not a very good role model.) but he forgot the poor guy he hurt.
ReplyDeleteIt's more like "I'm sorry I got caught and I'm sorry you found out about it"
ReplyDeleteThey showed him on the news giving autographs to a bunch of kids that were waiting for him outside the courtroom before his appearance. I'm sorry their parents are a bunch of prats.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the big deal? He made a mistake and apologized -- end scene. It's not like he's O.J. or Larry Bird.
ReplyDeleteHe only apologized because he got caught and now looks like an ass though, not because he's genuinly sorry.
ReplyDeleteLarry Bird?
ReplyDeleteYeah, leave Bird out of it!!!
