Jake Fromm just issued an apology for something he texted back in March of 2019.
In the private text messages, Fromm mentions making gun suppressors expensive so only “elite white people” can afford them.
Pictures of Fromm’s text messages were recently posted on social media and after gaining attention, the former Georgia quarterback and Buffalo Bills signal-caller issued the following statement:
“I am extremely sorry that I chose to use the words ‘elite white people’ in a text message conversation,” Fromm wrote. “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. While it was poor, my heart is not. 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 representative of the person I am. Again, I’m truly sorry for my words and actions and humbly ask for forgiveness.”
The Bills have not issued any comments on the situation at this time.
