What I could stand to listen to--before I dismissed his continuing unseriousness about "the whole thing", and turned the show off--just reinforced that a teenage boy is not an ideal candidate to create a statement of remorse. An immature boy is required to actually feel remorse if he is to attempt to explain his remorse. Memmer exhibited more his contempt for the sanctioning body than his contrition at his appalling actions. Such is life. There are a hundred acres of growing up that boy needs to plow on his way to manhood. Hopefully nobody gets run over or otherwise injured on his journey.
I'm sure he'll be racing at some of the events I see this year and others. I won't be rooting for him.
