Luis Suárez Kind Of, Sort Of, Not Really Admits To Biting A Dude

Suárez apologizes for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, but says the bite was a result of the “collision he suffered with me.”

Uruguayan soccer player Luis Suárez posted this apology Monday for the biting incident that occurred during the Italy vs. Uruguay World Cup match last week:

After several days of being home with my family, I have had the opportunity to regain my calm and reflect about the reality of what occurred during the Italy-Uruguay match on 24 June 2014. Independent from the fallout and the contradicting declarations that have surfaced during these past days, all of which have been without the intention of interfering with the good performance of my national team, the truth is that my colleague Giorgio Chiellini suffered the physical result of a bite in the collision he suffered with me.

For this:

1.I deeply regret what occurred.

2.I apologize to Giorgio Chiellini and the entire football family.

3.I vow to the public that there will never again be another incident like this involving me.
