Not only did Alomar apologize, he helped start up a foundation to fight the disease that killed that umpire's son. That is the things the media doesn't cover. They rag on Alomar for the spitting incident, but don't give him credit for apologizing and starting a foundation to help people. Same with Barkley, people constantly say "Well Barkley spit on a little girl", people refuse to add that he didn't mean to spit on her, actually cried on the sideline, and when to the little girl and her parents, apologized, took them out to dinner, made sure she did well in school, and I believe brought them to more games.
That was good of Barkley to apologize and everything else. The point of who Barkley was trying to actually spit at doesn't really matter. He shouldn't have been spitting on anyone.
I agree, but people need to let it go. The only people still holding a grudge are a section of fans and the media, because the family has forgiven him. People act like they've never made a mistake, but everybody makes mistakes. I'm sure everybody here has done or said something to someone that they wish they could take back. Nobody's perfect, same thing with Roberto Alomar.
I thought that Alomar apologized, but I wasn't for sure. Isn't it funny how the media never reports things that are good for the community? But that they are like vultures on roadkill on negative things? It reminds me of a saying that I heard one time, "The media will always report bad news and seldom report good news."
