It was far more than distasteful.
And then sending a church member (Soto) out to make the apology?? Now that — is distasteful. Sending a church member out to apologize to members of his own church? Weak. More than weak.
The ones that should have been apologizing were the USC administration. Not a church member that is part of the football coaching staff.
In my opinion they might as well have not apologized at all if they couldn't do better than that.
Probably doesn't matter anyway. We beat them on their own field and have scoreboard on them for the last two times we've played them.
