SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo has offered a stronger apology for directing a gay slur at veteran NBA referee Bill Kennedy.
Rondo said Monday his actions toward Kennedy on Dec. 3 were out of frustration and not meant to offend anyone.
Rondo issued a statement Tuesday addressing those who viewed his initial statement as a non-apology. He said: "I want to be clear, from the bottom of my heart that I am truly sorry for what I said to Bill. There is no place on or off the court for language that disrespects anyone's sexual orientation. That is not who I am or what I believe and I will strive every day to be a better person."
Kennedy told Yahoo Sports he is gay.
Rondo is serving a one-game suspension.
After this incident, and thereafter, Rogelio keeps on reminding himself of these unfriendly behavior brought about by the basketball incident (205). Although he was able to strive to be good many times, Rogelio uses this part of his past in his decisions or reactions to other people's actions(205).

There is a question floating around in the NBA (aka the National Basketball Association) community right now. Should Donald Sterling be banned for his racist comments? Yes, I think he should. What he said was not excusable even though he comes from a generation where saying those things is okay. He attempted to get his girlfriend to take pictures off Instagram because “she was publicizing the fact she was walking with a black man.” In his interview on CNN he said the following. “ That’s the one problem I have. Jews when they get successful they will help their people and some African-Americans-- maybe I’ll get in trouble again… they don’t want to help anybody.”
“Also by the way, sorry for my behavior the other day Thomas and great job,” said Lewis
It's easy for us as outsiders to criticize these players when we aren't partaking in the activity they are.
It's hard to criticize the Flyers' system. Talented all-around centers? Check. Dynamic big defensemen? Check. Ridiculous goaltender depth? Check – Corey Pronman. ESPN.
It was just normal night of me and a group of friends at dinner. We just ordered our food so the whole table was discussion involving events that occurred during the week. The conversation lead to sports and Austin made a controversial statement by saying that Tom Brady was an overrated quarterback and he wouldn’t be close to the player he is without his teams’ system. That comment triggered Christopher who is a die-heart Tom Brady fan. Christopher then went on a rant how Tom Brady was the greatest quarterback of all-time. He defended Brady by saying: “Without Brady there is absolutely no way that the Patriots would have won four Super Bowl’s. Before Brady was the quarterback for the Patriots they had never won a Super Bowl.” Austin then responded explaining how he believed that Tom Brady benefited for playing under head coach Bill Belichick arguably the greatest coach of the

Gordon Hayward, an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Boston Celtics, was arguably the most talked about NBA player during the opening nights of the season. Sadly, he was talked about, because of his season ending injury. Five minutes into his first game as a Celtic, Hayward lands awkwardly, fractures his left tibia and dislocates his left ankle. Silence fell as the crowd witnessed this gruesome injury.
Once the foul was committed by a player of mine multiple apologies were lended. It was when another player of the opposing team (not involved I the accident) commenced to verbally explicitly express her opinion to the matter directed towards the male member on my team. THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. What should have been an unsportsmanlike like penalty and first warning towards ejection quickly escalated to much more.
I just want to apologize with you about the offensive language that I used to text you four weeks ago. I was so mad and exaggerated at that time, and I felt that I wasted my precious time with you for no reasons.
Miami Heat's Chris Bosh basketball career is in limbo right now. After failing to pass his preseason physical, the doctors announced that Bosh is not cleared to play for the coming season.
