If I were the women on the basketball team, there's no way I would accept his apology. How can someone say something the way he said it, without thinking, and then ask for forgiveness? He has a national radio show and with that comes responsibilty. He knows as well as anyone else that everyone is listening to his show and that whatever he says will be critiqued and will receive a response. I believe that there is a big difference between being sorry for what you did and being sorry you got caught. In his case, there is no other option other than that he is sorry that he got caught. He is constantly pushing limits and making risky comments on his show, he's finally been called out on it and now he's sorry. It is simply unacceptable.
I also think that his punishment is not enough. A two week suspension is like a vacation for this guy. He'll go to some remote island and enjoy himself and then come back to his everyday life and continue his job and his life.
Although this type of racism is apparent everywhere I think that if one person can be pointed out they should be held responsible, it starts with one person and, hopefully, it spreads to more and more people and we can eventually make a difference.
