    First off, I mistakenly opened this thread not logged in. Which allowed me to see someone I ignore.
    Secondly, FNN, CNN, nor any other MSM have any value in their reporting as they are all news pushing an adjenda. Therefore citing their link instantly means it you're post is a joke.
    Third, it doesn't MATTER if it was proven false. What the general said is still TRUE. Therefore this report by fnn is even more fake.
    And finally. You are a joke account, and nothing you post is worth reading.
    Go away now.

    What's really funny is you using Roger Maris in your moniker and you never played baseball in high school, lol.

    You also don't need to play tennis to be a student athlete at U of P.

    FYI, if you consistently defend racists and misogynists by saying "that's bad but it's not as bad as people are saying" then people will conclude that you yourself are a racist and misogynist.

    If you consistently lie about things people will assume you're a fucking liar.

    To the University of Portland community:

    I am profoundly sorry for my opening monologue at the Wally’s. The words I spoke and the language I used cannot be defended in anyway. The following apology along with my steadfast commitment to better myself are the words and promises the UP community deserves from me.

    I said things that hurt many people in this community and I want to deeply apologize for that. When I wrote the script for the Wally’s, I hoped to use self-deprecation and irony as a tool for sharing a few stories about my immigrant and diaspora experience. I realize now that it does not matter what was written in jest or what was said in sarcasm; the crux of the content was grossly inappropriate, and I am unquestionably in the wrong for that. There is absolutely no room for that rhetoric on our campus or within our community.

    It truly breaks my heart to have caused pain to my peers because I did not pay attention to my own blind spots. I am committed to bettering myself and addressing those blindspots through discussions with my professors, peers, and community leaders. This language has no place on our campus, in our community, or in our world. The words I spoke should have no place in history, they should have no place in today, and more importantly I commit to ensuring they have no part in our future. I hope to become a better classmate, friend, son, brother, and person through this process.

    I would, again, like to offer my sincerest apologies and express my deep remorse for my words at the Wally’s.

    As I predicted he wrote a script, trying to be funny much like a lot of these award shows. He just wasn’t funny and the jokes weren’t either. However I feel violated and am currently shaking and feel he should die via guillotine at the pioneer courthouse square for all to see

    It could have been if it was a political statement. Now he's admitted he was just an idiot.

    Sensationalize much? It was stupid and done in poor taste and excusing it as anything else is wrong.

    Look @Cippy91 DON'T FUCKING SENSATIONALIZE.

    And please for the love of God next time don't .....

    Basically agree with the kid doing something dumb but pointing out the people involved overreacting. That's not allowed. You're either with em or you're against em!

    I know right? I have to pick a side. That’s how this specific idilogy works. And if i offer a different angle well that’s ball game, I’m the devil. Can’t you see this woman was violently violated and basically raped with words!?!?! Uhhh no I can’t. I see it for what it actually is. He tried his hand at comedy and a mini set on stage. He told dumb jokes that just weren’t funny. Then this girl over reacts and says she was shaking and how it was violence against women. That’s a lie. I’m not gonna tolerate this toxic and dangerous over reactive behavior so yeah fuck that girl. I see his side more than I do hers. He bombed. That’s it. Isn’t funny meanwhile she put out an article trying to ruin this kids life and say ridiculous things. She probably left things out. Forced his hand at an apology letter. Typical damage control statement.
