A lot of people are making whatever they can out of Hines calling out Ben on his SNF interview, and then his apology that was posted on his Facebook page. Is that what it comes to with today’s athlete/person? We rectify situations on our Facebook walls?
What people don’t know about the apology is that Facebook wasn’t the only means of conveyance. Hines also posted the same stuff on a mass AOL chat, but apparently no one saw it there, too. I’ve saved it here for posterity:
