‘I am extremely sorry that I chose to use the words “elite white people” in a text message conversation. Although I never meant to imply that I am an “elite white person,” as stated later in the conversation, there’s no excuse for that word choice and sentiment. Now, more than ever, is the time for support and togetherness and I stand against racism 100%. I promise to commit myself to being a part of the solution in this country I addressed my teammates and coaches in a team meeting today and I hope they see this incident is not a representative of the person I am. Again, I’m truly sorry for my words and actions and humbly ask for forgiveness.’
