The SONG Freedom by Beyonce. Not the concept of freedom.
Yeah, he handled the apology badly IN PUBLIC... But he also apologized to Chris in private and according to Chris, he forgave Will. They buried the hatchet.
One action shouldn't color the man's entire life. He didn't put Chris in the ICU, didn't kill him, didn't do anything that's illegal or evil. He isn't perfect NOR she he be expected to be perfect. He's human. With human feelings and he let one moment get to him ...
I'm still amazed at how people will forgive some but not others for the same action, televised or not.
