Kareem Hunt did an interview with ESPN where he apologizes for pushing and kicking a woman who called him a n*gger. He wouldn’t use that as an excuse, but it is important to point that out considering she didn’t apologize for her actions.
He was wrong, but let’s not act like the woman wasn’t wrong either.
An apologetic Kareem Hunt, in his first interview since his release by the Kansas City Chiefs after publication of an explosive video, said, “I was in the wrong” when he shoved and kicked a woman and that he regrets not making “the right decision to find a way to de-escalate the whole situation.”
“Honestly, it was just a long night and, to be exact, it don’t really matter what happened,” he told Salters. “I was in the wrong. I could have took responsibility and made the right decision to find a way to de-escalate the whole situation.”
“It was definitely some things that were said and did that I did not like,” he said. “That’s not an excuse. That person in that video did not deserve that. I didn’t mean to hurt anybody or anything like that. It’s tough because I feel like I let a lot of people down. I just want to apologize to everybody, the Chiefs organization, my family and close friends.”
“Just a disagreement,” he said. “Honestly, I wanted her just to leave, but it’s no excuse for me to act that way or to even put myself in that position.”
