Sacramento Kings majority owner Vivek Ranadive has issued what most are calling an ‘apology’ for his derogatory remarks targeted at Geoff Petrie and the old Kings staff during an interview with USA Today’s Sam Amick last week.
I wanted to sincerely apologize to Geoff Petrie and his team,” the owner began, speaking softly. “I meant no disrespect. I have the utmost respect for what they have done for the franchise and what they have accomplished. I fully understand that it’s a huge privilege to own a basketball team, and as chairman of the ownership, the buck stops with me.
