Broncos HC Vic Fangio Apologizes for Tuesday Comments About Discrimination, Racism

Broncos head coach Vic Fangio apologized on Wednesday for comments he made on Tuesday when he said, in part, "I think our problems in the NFL along those lines are minimal. We're a league of meritocracy. You earn what you get, you get what you earn. I don't see racism at all in the NFL, I don't see discrimination in the NFL."

Fangio said on Wednesday in a statement that he realized what he said regarding "racism and discrimination in the NFL was wrong."

"While I have never personally experienced those terrible things first-hand during my 33 years in the NFL, I understand that many players, coaches and staff have different perspectives," he said in a statement.
