The Kansas City Chiefs saw star wide receiver Rashee Rice sentenced to jail time for his roll in a high speed accident that happened earlier this year. The decision sent shockwaves through the league and certainly put a wrinkle in Kansas City’s pre-game plans.
However, Rice’s first public remarks after the sentencing has not sat well with fans.
“He Can’t Be Serious” Chiefs’ Rashee Rice Destroyed Over 1st Public Remarks After Jail Sentence
Rashee Rice’s lawyer, Royce West, released the following statement on Thursday:
“Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart.
Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.”
While the statement seemed well intentioned, fans didn’t see eye to eye:

At least he has nights to be sleepless

In other words, “I got caught”.
