Via SI:
“I mean, I never stood by it,” Jenkins said. “They twisted it. I said I’m sorry to whoever I offended. The way I was raised, we got different cultures and different terms that you use. If I was to go out there and say, ‘Hey, you went r——- on [the] football field,’ would you look at it as me talking about somebody disabled? Or would you look at me [as] saying, ‘Oh, he did some crazy stuff out there, some amazing stuff?'”
When asked if he regretted his word choice, Jenkins responded: “Yeah, I regret it. But at the end of the day, it’s my slang, so if you take it how you’re going to take it, then that’s on you.
“I don’t mean to offend nobody. My daddy always told me, ‘Speak freely and own up to what you say.’ So I always speak freely as a man, and I speak how I want to speak.”
Well Jenkins made a mistake and is now on the Saints and in the Superbowl hunt.
What a fortuitous mistake.
