He didn't have to apologize, he chose to after he realized that some people were offended. I think that was a good response--no one forced or told him to do it, he's just polite.
I think it's reasonable to conclude that people were offended for themselves, not the player. How were they to know that some old, white men wearing afro wigs weren't ridiculing them? It doesn't look like anyone got crazy on it, just that some rumored were floating that some didn't catch the real intent.
I think he did the right thing, and so does the person who apologized. Ironically, some people posted that others shouldn't be offended for others, but it appears as though those same people were getting offended for the UCF president!
