"People should know that I had absolutely no inappropriate intent. The
gesture was made in the heat of battle and while I didn't mean anything
racist by what I did, I realize now through my own ignorance how my
gesture could be interpreted. I alone am responsible for that, it was
terrible, and I make no excuses. When I heard about Boko's reaction to
the gesture, I was horrified by what I had done."

What does this mean? Either A) He wasn't doing a monkey gesture at all and is still treated as if that was his intent, or 2) He doesn't understand that a monkey gesture to a black player is racist and unacceptable to say the least. Both scenarios are pretty messed up.
