Cris Carter Apologizes For 'Fall Guy' Advice 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 24, 2015 7:04 pm

Cris Carter has issued an apology for telling NFL rookies at a league symposium in 2014 that they should "get a fall guy" to help them avoid trouble.

Carter posted his apology on Twitter after an ESPN article drew attention to the remarks he made during a presentation last year.

Carter told a group of rookies from NFC teams in the session that if any of them were to get into trouble off the field, it was important to have someone who would step forward and take the blame.

Carter says watching video of his message, which has been removed from NFL.com, "made me realize how wrong I was."

Chris is speaking the truth. Alot of athletes and celebrities have atleast a fall guy or more. And considering what these people make money wise, I can't say that I blame them when the same mistakes an Average Joe makes can cost them dearly on up to career ruining. Not right but I'd probably do the same.
