Man Who Said, ‘If I Get Corona, I Get Corona,’ Apologizes
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
The harm has been done: he is one of the cogs which may have lead and will lead to the deaths of many people.
His apology is a good sign, but i) it can be a PR move to remain employable, and ii) it is irrelevant unless his actions prove that he has learnt from his experience.

He's a typical white straight privileged douche bag... just seems like he realized this is going to haunt him for any professional prospects in the future. I don't know if his apology is sincere but hopefully he's learned something.
kids are stupid and do and say stupid stuff.
the kid apologized because he got caught fucking up. That's why the vast majority of people apologize.
his apology contained reasonable wording and a couple of the passive aggressive cliches "if you were offended" but as others have noted he's a private citizen not a politician or celebrity or educator.
the media did in fact take footage of inebriated young people and amplify it for profit not for public education. Stocks and rotten tomatoes in the village square.
he is what he is but we could do this kind of character assassination (or suicide) by pointing a news camera at any American college kid.
it's also a sad unintended consequence of strict US alcohol laws which is the infantilism of 20 year olds and increased binge drinking. Many other nations get that shit out of their system at 18. Not that it's a magic cure either but it's a different dynamic.
Was everyone ridiculed and attacked or was it only him because they stuck a camera in plenty of peoples faces and they all said something stupid. Just being down there and celebrating spring break is stupid.
To be fair, it's slightly better than usual. At least it wasn't "I apologize to any I MIGHT have offended" or "I apologize to those that TOOK offense" At least this owns up to the fact that he definitely offended people and it's on him and not the person(s) being offended.
Still generic as hell, but at least it's not low-key victim-blaming at the same time.
Its not that deep.... he saw how people viewed him and thought "Don't want that, better apologize.... and keep some attention on me too in all this."
This is an adult dismissing a pandemic that could very well become an epidemic. People much younger have done bigger gestures in their community to show they actually care about issues of all kinds.
Actions speak louder than words, and you can throw his Twitterstagram apology in the non-celebrity trash bin right next to the celebrity one that we get by the bulk load every few weeks.
I would understand if he had a loved one get the COVID-19 virus and really shook him, but he is just apologizing for himself and not for anything else.
Definitely starting to see an, "if they die, they die" undercurrent from young sports fans who want more sports.
Exactly. When we have politicians and celebrities making similarly dumb statements, while having the opportunity to influence a lot more people, I don't think it makes sense to crucify this guy.
Man charged after police say he licked items at Warrenton Walmart to mock virus fears
Cody Lee Pfister, 26, of Warrenton, has been charged by the Warren County Prosecuting Attorney's Office with a terrorist threat in the second degree.
I mean he was probably plastered in that interview So of course it sounds like a different person.
Growing up in Ireland and watching lots of American TV shows,the white kids always had names like Chad, Brad, Brady, Cody.
It meme'd those names for folks here, so when you see a name like Brady Sluder it looks made up.
Pretty much this. Dumb kid caught being dumb on camera - why be mad beyond that? Has plenty of years to grow.
Youth is wasted on the young, and I don't hold anything against this kid for having a dumb hot take in the moment. I'm glad he's apologized, for him.
It takes a big man to apologize for what they have done and the reprecussions of their words.
Today, you are that big man Brady.
Spring Break Bro Brady: 1
President of the United States of America Drumf: -3

I honestly don't care about his comment or his apology. It's kind of weird he was getting harassed so badly he had to come out and apologize for making a dumb comment in a passing moment. Especially considering there are folks out there licking disgusting shit for challenges.
If if I was wasted and someone stuck me in front of a mic and camera I'd probably say something just as dumb. So whatever.
That's a pretty good apology, it has hints of self-reflection and doesnt try to downplay his stupidity in that interview. Glad that someone was able to talk some sense into him, seems like a pretty typical dumb kid moment where he was oblivious to how much this affects everyone else in the world besides him
Well, at least he didn't lick public toilets like the other peeps doing the corona challenge.
Btw one dude who ended up licking a toilet doing the corona challenge is now in the hospital with it.
uh....
Humanity...Well, at least he didn't lick public toilets like the other peeps doing the corona challenge.

Natural selection working at its finest.Well, at least he didn't lick public toilets like the other peeps doing the corona challenge.

Lets not give these people any more attention that they are craving. It's the only way this nonsense will stop.
Good.
People are idiots and do idiotic things, he just happened to be caught saying and doing something stupid on camera and it got amplified globally.
Let's hope the whole experience is something he can learn from going forward.
