Ozzie's Apology

Manager Ozzie Guillen is not backing down on his comments regarding Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti, but he did take time before last night's game to clarify them and apologize to any group that might be offended.

Guillen Apologizes for Mariotti Comments

Comments

Soooo tired of this issue. Let those who are without sin, cast the first stone. I'm guessing many have used that comment..and I'm sure that hack sportswriter has used some doozies in his day. He'll write anything to get his name mentioned. I never saw a man who flip flops his views so often. Oh wait..I forgot, he's no man. If he was, he'd be willing to actually show up at the park.

It was nice of ozzie to apligize for affending anyone, but does the press ever apligize for the things they say?.. ozzie is ozzie and he is true to his work and not afraid to speak his mind.. and that is why so many ppl love and respect him.. ppl are too mushey these days, and always lookin for a reason to complain or start somthing.. cant we all just get along, let the mad do his job, and watch the sox win?...

Ozzie should not have been suspended for his comment about a poor sports writer. We all have used a term that might not be p.c. in todays world, but I do not believe Ozzie intended to hurt anyone except Mr. Marotti. I am not a homophob and I don't think gays should be offended.

I think it is a shame that a sportswriter from Chicago thinks that he is bigger than the city of Chicago. I watch the show on ESPN, that Jay is on and even the people on the show think he is a . Maybe this is a way for Jay to get the spotlite. Maybe the Sun Times newspaper will feel the backlash when they start losing readers because of this jerk. Jay is not as big as the White Sox nation. I feel Jay is a racist myself and don't like minorities, especially those with some power in sports. So Dusty and Ozzie just sit back and take the abuse, because Jay think he is God now that he has gotten all this publicity.
