For almost exactly 22 hours after his February 5th remarks to the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club were uncovered on Twitter, Kevin Mather remained silent.
He didn’t say a word when it came up in the Lookout Landing comments this morning. He didn’t say a word when we published the full transcript earlier today (although the original video did disappear from YouTube later). He didn’t say a word when local reporters started calling him out. And he didn’t say a word when national baseball writers started weighing in, calling for his departure.
But he did, finally, release an official statement Sunday night.
