ESPN's producers must be ecstatic with this change in format to CFB Live now, making it more of a debate...and the season hasn't even really begun yet.
A whole lotta apologies this week.
He better had checked himself. A Jewish cat should know better.

Paul Finebaum admits to 'terrible mistake' in regards to 'country doesn't oppress black people' comment
Paul Finebaum admits to 'terrible mistake' in regards to 'country doesn't oppress black people' comment
SEC Network analyst and radio personality is backing off a statement he made earlier this week when he said on his radio show "this country is not oppressing black people." The comment was made in response to San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick sitting during the national anthem.
Finebaum was asked about the comment on ESPN Thursday.
Here is his response:
"(The response to the comment) has been incredible," he said. "I've heard from so many people, most of whom were shocked by what I said.
"I've done what I always do. I've gone back to review what I said there. I went to review what I said in exchange with Joey Galloway on College Football Live. I can spend the rest of my life trying to talk my way out of it, but I can't. I blew it. I simply did not have a good grasp of the situation. I know better. I've lived in this country. I see what is going on all across the country from north to south to east to west. I have no excuse. I can't explain why I articulated the words the way I did, but I did. There's a public record of it. There was natural reaction. All I can say is I made a terrible mistake in trying to express a feeling I had no right to express.
"I don't know if this will mean anything to anyone, but I feel compelled to answer your question that way. It was a terrible mistake on my part and my eyes are wider open today than they have ever been as a result."
Marcus Spears, who joined Finebaum on his show, appeared to agree with Finebaum's initial take.
"I don't think its oppressing black people; it's the under service of the community. It's a different issue."
Finebaum had an animated debate Tuesday on College Football Live with Joey Galloway.
Galloway urged people to concentrate on not what Kaepernick said but why he said it. Finebaum urged someone to explain why he the San Francisco quarterback said it.
Galloway asked Finebaum if he thought Kaepernick didn't have a "legitimate reason" to feel the way he does.
Kaepernick's 'stand' should make us all smarter
"Explain to me what it is, other than what he's already said," Finebaum said.

Saw this shyt live. Posted about it in the main thread. Cat legit said Colin didn't have a legitimate reason to be protesting. Joey half checked him but he was dancing around the issue himself. Crazy world where people are afraid to express the truth
Oh NOW you wanna apologize?
I like when they expose themselves for the racists they are...don't believe not one of those "apologies"
Basically, "I'm sorry for sharing my racist thoughts when I thought that everybody would agree and we could all gang up on this guy"

fukk him and his apology. He only saying that b/c of the backlash he received. If he was in front of other cacs and it wasn't a mic in his face he wouldn't be apologizing or walking anything he said back. That is how they really think and feel. They think everything is fine and we just complaining or not trying hard enough. This really pisses me off that people can't step out of their own skin and think from another perspective. Its like they have a mental block and think racism and discrimination is some mythical magical thing that is long dead or we just making it up.Paul Finebaum admits to 'terrible mistake' in regards to 'country doesn't oppress black people' comment
