Francisco Elson apologizes to gay community for remark about Kevin Garnett
Basketball player Francisco Elson apologized Thursday for his "that's so gay" comments about Minnesota Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett. After Garnett allegedly hit Elson in the groin on Tuesday in an 84-82 Minnesota win, Elson was quoted Wednesday as saying, "That's gay on his part. I told him that he was gay, too, for touching me in my private parts." In an official statement Thursday, Elson said, "I would like to apologize to the gay and lesbian community for my comments about Kevin Garnett. I realize my comments were insensitive and they were out of character for me. However, I take full responsibility and I have learned a valuable lesson." No apology to Garnett, however.
