Sorry, But… It Came with a Tail

The article comments on the apology of Pheidippides Panagiotou for a controversial comment he made about Paralympic athletes. The author argues that the apology was delayed and insincere, as it was accompanied by excuses and an attempt to diminish his responsibility. He points out that a genuine apology should be immediate and not wait for public reaction. The delay and accompanying 'tail' of the apology suggest obligation rather than genuine remorse.
