Boston sports radio host Tony Massarotti issued an apology Monday for making a racially insensitive joke about two Black men on Friday.
"Late in the show on Friday, I made some comments that angered and upset some people, and rightfully so," Massarotti said."I wish I could take them back. I can't."
"So I owe everyone an apology. It's not who I am. It's not who we are. I can tell you that until I'm blue in the face -- those of you who know me will believe it." Tony also said his comments came off as"ignorant" and he was regretful for that. He also apologized to his cohosts for dragging them into the controversy.
