In the early days of PFT, we blended football news with attempts at humor. Some of those attempts at humor were offensive. I regret having made the comments, and I am sorry.

As time passed, the website grew and evolved. I grew and evolved. Things that I believed were or could be humorous I no longer believed were or could be humorous. Before our partnership with NBC began 11 years ago, the website had grown and evolved past such misguided attempts at humor.

The growth and evolution of the website have taken us in other directions that make me proud. From the moment Colin Kaepernick first explained why he wasn’t standing for the national anthem, we argued aggressively for the rights of players to peacefully protest social injustice, we focused on the deeper reasons for the protests, we criticized the eventual shunning of Kaepernick by the NFL’s teams, and we exposed most if not all of the false narratives used to justify the ongoing shunning of Kaepernick. Following the murder of George Floyd, we became even more aggressive in advocating for true social justice, whether on the issue of police brutality committed against minorities, the effort to ensure the promise of equality to all, the importance of repairing Colin Kaepernick, or the name of the Washington NFL franchise.

Mike Florio thinks that anyone who would wear an OAN shirt is against the interests of black Americans. His words, not mine.

Mike Florio can kiss my black arse.

You’re only sorry now that it’s a problem... when you were building your brand and trying to make a name for the website it was fine

He literally had a “days without an NFL arrest ticker” on the main page of his site. He then would do a celebratory post when someone was arrested and it went back down to zero.

Florio has always been a troll whose site is backed by at least one major player agency and NBC. Once you look at his site with those filters in mind, you can see through the BS and realize most of the stories on his site are agenda-driven garbage.

He's also so chicken shite that he turned comments off on that apology post. His site routinely deletes comments that call him and his staff out on their questionable analysis posts.

I once was lost but now I'm found was blind but now I'm woke.

This is hitting nuclear levels of PC. This is people SJW/PC - ing themselves. This is epic levels of mea culpa.

Everyone who makes a living in the public eye and once had a Twitter account is basically turning themselves in to the PC police.

It's amazing how these idiots think a few angry people on Twitter is the majority of the nation.
