Immediately after Thursday’s game, Suh defended himself, saying he was trying to keep his balance while freeing himself from the brief scuffle. He publically apologized to teammates, coaches and fans Thursday for “allowing the refs to have an opportunity to take me out of this game,” but he insisted he didn’t intentionally step on anyone.
“People are going to have their own opinions — that’s fine,” he said after the game. “The only (people) that I really care about are my teammates, my true fans and my coaches and their opinions, and that’s where it lies. And honestly, the most important person in this whole thing that I have to deal with is the man upstairs.”
Suh reversed course Friday night, apologizing on his Facebook page.
“My reaction on Thursday was unacceptable,” Suh said in a statement on his Facebook page. “I made a mistake, and have learned from it. I hope to direct the focus back to the task at hand — by winning.”
THAT IS NOT “REVERSING COURSE.” YOU are labeling it that as if to say, “Suh is now admitting he intentionally stomped that snarf.”
Nooo. He is just apologizing. End.
