There is nothing to apologize for when:
--Taking a perceived threat seriously
--People show support for one another
--Making policy to be more inclusive & more welcoming
--Doing what you feel is right, regardless of any perceived business consequences

2. First of all, it was a noose

3. I just now ordered this Bubba Wallace t-shirt.

I know a lot of Nascar fans and used to be one years ago. I may start watching again to root for him.
