He has a meeting with MLB today.

1. Is this guy in the 5th Grade? WTF?

[George II]

2. We'll probably see a heartfelt (insincere) apology sometime today.

[BeyondGeography]

3. He has already done that

Apologized "to anyone who was offended." MLB needs to, um, do something that improves his understanding of this incident.

[Loyd]

6. "to anyone who was offended"

What a chickenshit dodge, popular with pols, athletes, business owners, ad nauseum.

[LudwigPastorius]

4. An asshole with hair like that shouldn't be mocking ANYONE.

[IUPACify]

5. Disgusting trend.

I can think of 3 episodes of this bull crap off the top of my head:
