“I just wanna apologize to the PC fans and PC community. i also wanna apologize to my coaches and teammates for how i handled my fatigue during our past Game. didn’t mean to intentionally hurt anybody, i could’ve went bout things a different way. appreciate all the support i’ve been getting all year from the PC community and that’s something yall should never deserve to see.
