“Yesterday, Tua Tagovailoa had to answer questions about something I said on Monday,” Clark said. “Something that I truly just felt like was a joke to me that I’ve realized as the week has gone on, if this man has to answer questions about it. If so many Miami Dolphins fans are offended by it then people ain’t taking it as a joke. So let me be very clear. If I’ve offended you Tua or if I’ve hurt you, if I’ve disrespected you. If anybody that supports and loves you feels some sort of way because of what I said, I truly apologize. I had two priorities when I started this job. Number one, respect the players and the executives and the coaches that make this game run. Number two, it was earn the respect of those very same people and more importantly, keep it. Anything contrary to that then I gotta check myself now.”
When I decided to do TV I had 2 main priorities.
1. Respect all NFL players, coaches, executives and staff members.
2. Earn and keep the respect of those very same people.
Those priorities are important to me, and when I miss that mark, I have to hold myself accountable.… pic.twitter.com/YgZfcNPN8G
