Pretty funny how some people think Kelce apologized without every uttering the word "sorry" or "apology" in his statement. ESPN blatantly guilty of false headline.
To be clear, I don't give a damn if he apologizes to anyone (although I think it would be smart business if he were to apologize - not merely express regret - to ESPN). But his statement Monday night was clearly not an apology.
Call it what you want. Why would anyone want an apology? Usually it’s an affirmation that a person acknowledges they were wrong.
“In a heated moment, I decided to greet hate with hate,” Kelce said before ESPN’s broadcast of the Buccaneers-Chiefs game featuring his brother, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.
“I fell short this week.”
His statement, showing he knows he should do better, seems to be a lot more genuine than most public apologies.
