Shannon Sharpe has been in the headlines for the past 72 hours.
It stemmed from an altercation on Friday night when Sharp was at the Lakers-Grizzlies game. Several members of the Grizzlies engaged in a shouting match with Sharpe seated near the court.
Security had to intervene and Sharpe was sent through the tunnel into a hallway where he stayed during halftime before returning to his seat.
On Monday morning, Sharp apologized for his actions. He also apologized for the way he spoke about Dillon Brooks and his role in the controversy.
“I want to apologize for my behavior. I have preached responsibility and accountability for the past 6 1/2 years and I take full responsibility for what happened. No matter what Dillon Brooks said or how Bar. Given the platform I have, and so many people looking up to me, I was wrong,” Sharp said.
The sports community loved this apology from the NFL Hall of Famer.
“Talk about accountability….it was an amazing moment!” read another tweet.
This is a job well done by Sharp.
