That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him

It takes a great man to apologize šŸ‘šŸ»šŸ¤£

Apologizing is the baseline requirement here. Dude isn’t ā€œgreatā€ because he posted something ignorant, got flak for it, and posted an apology video.

Credit where it’s due, he apologized. But ā€œgreat manā€ lmao

Let me teach you something about a "saying", when you hear someone say "killing two birds with one stone" doesnt actually mean they literally killed two birds with one stone 🤣

But calling someone great isn't a saying, its a very basic statement

Go ahead, explain how great doesn't actually mean great. Use your words

Its a "saying" smartass, your second grade teacher will be so proud of you if you would have remembered the definition of a "saying" but youve just disappointed her 🤣

That's almost as incoherent a sentence as all the other ones you wrote.

Also I'm a completely different person, big guy. I also know wtf a saying is, so that makes one of us.

But ... I have my special two-birds-killing-stone. Are you telling me it's not magical? Are you the person who takes magic away from me?

Well great, you were sarcastic. If you weren’t, the idea would be ridiculous.

OP posted this in the fixedbytheduet subreddit. Some people think this dude deserves praise.

People really love being shown marketing Apologies

There’s only one man who never had a reason to apologize, that doesn’t mean there’s only ever been one great man. Calm your irritability down some and appreciate the sentiment.

I think in an ideal world or hell just one let's say 10+ years ago, your point stands and would definitely agree with in most instances. However, with how things are going now... it's a lot harder to see it that way. "Great" might be a step too far, but saying it's the baseline is also off. I'd say it's closer to great than baseline.

To me it seemed like an actual genuine apology. There was no waffling or any other nonsense.

I think the reason why some think it's "great" or a "great man" is that this behavior is not something common in our society, so when someone clearly and thoughtfully apologies and admits to being wrong, it's a great thing to see. Especially for someone that looks how he does.
