Cleveland Browns rookie linebacker Tank Carder has tried to back-track on his anti-gay tweets from the last week, issuing a two-faced non-apology of the highest order. After calling someone a faggot and saying he doesnt agree with being gay or lesbian at all, he is suddenly trying to paint himself as an inclusive warrior of understanding.
After posting that hes going to stay unapologetically strong, that you people took that way too far #getalife, and retweeting that people who were offended should grow up people, the Browns PR staff got hold of him and made him tweet this non-apology this afternoon:
What it should say is Im sorry I got caught. You dont say youre against people being gay, and you dont call people a faggot, and you dont then say everyone is being too sensitive and that we should all just get a life
without meaning it. The guy meant what he said, hes anti-gay, he has no problem with calling someone a faggot, and now that hes feeling the heat he wants to take it all back.
Equally galling is this tweet, in which he says that claiming to be anti-gay and anti-lesbian is not attacking gays and lesbians
Again, hes not sorry: Hes just sorry that youre overly sensitive.
