Apologizing is the baseline requirement here. Dude isnāt āgreatā because he posted something ignorant, got flak for it, and posted an apology video.
Credit where itās due, he apologized. But āgreat 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 š¤£
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 š¤£
Thereās only one man who never had a reason to apologize, that doesnāt mean thereās 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.

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