03/04/2004: "Webber asks for forgiveness"

Here in the Sacramento area, Chris Webber (star player for the Kings NBA team) has been the discussion topic of the town for the last year or so as he's undergone surgury, gone to trial for purgury, and been suspended from play for both the purgury and violation of the NBA's drug policy. Since he's such a good basketball player, everyone has been anxious to have him back on the court.

Still, many have been bothered by his lack of contrition for his wrongdoings. After the game on Tuesday, he made a heartfelt apology. Here's an article on it.

While I'm very glad to hear the apology/prayer, I wish that he would come clean on exactly what the drug offense was. A truly contrite player would not only ask for forgiveness for their sins but also admit what they were.

Kens Brother :

It's kind of funny how Chris Webbers old teams keep having to give up victories, first his college and now his high school. I'm just glad he wasn't alive during WW2, I'd hate to have to give up that win... hehe
