What an empty apology. He won't admit it or even ponder the idea, but he's definitely a reason why guys like Clay Travis exist on our television. Just pander to southern whites that won't give up the notion of the "good ole' days" as if they actually existed.
It's hilarious how people want to bring up the ESPYs as some form of "the right way to do it" when I'm sure those same a$$holes were blowing smoke out of their ears once they saw their speech.

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.
Check out Finebaum's full explanation below.
