Boxer Ryan Garcia issued a formal apology on social media after making racist and derogatory comments towards Black people and Muslims during a livestream. The 25-year-old was expelled by the World Boxing Council and announced his decision to enter rehab. Garcia took full responsibility for his words, citing struggles with substance abuse. Last month, he was suspended for a year and had a victory overturned due to a failed drug test. In his apology, Garcia claimed that a black man can be racist and justified his language by saying it is common in certain communities. He criticized the WBC for not disciplining other fighters for similar behavior. The incident has brought attention to racism in sports and the consequences of offensive language.
