Reports say he had been ticcing all through the night. At multiple people, not just Jordan and Lindo. At his team and at others. Misogynistic slurs, racist slurs, other slurs. The nature of the disorder is that your brain forces you to blurt out things it has registered as taboos in given social contexts. Involuntarily. If an apology is to be insisted upon, then he shouldn’t just apologise to Jordan and Lindo; he should apologise to every single person he ticced at that night, whether theirs was televised or not. To ask him to specifically apologise to Jordan and Lindo is to say that he is to apologise for theirs being publicised or amplified, not for the utterance itself. But is it his fault that his tics were televised? Or is it the fault of the media platform that chose to air it, especially without giving appropriate medical context? If he ticced at five people that night, he would need to apologise to five people. If he ticced at twenty, apologise to twenty. Fifty? Eighty? Hundred? How many people can he realistically apologise to for something completely out of his control? How long is he going to spend his life apologising? At what point does it move from apologising for harm to apologising for having a disability?
