VIDEO: Tyreek Hill Apologizes for NSFW Audio in Media Session and Explains 'Punching' Son Comment
By Mark Powell
There's only so much Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill can discuss regarding the allegations surrounding the treatment of his young son, but the media still attempted to get some answers from the embattled Pro Bowler on Sunday at training camp. First, Hill expressed regret for the audio in which he insulted the mother of his child in NSFW fashion, and then tried to explain what she meant in terms of 'punching his son in the chest'.
"Punching my son in the chest would probably refer to me teaching my son how to box, cause we do have boxing gloves at our house..." [@ftbeard_17]

Whether or not you believe Hill is a matter of opinion, but he and the Chiefs are trying to go about this without adding more negative soundbites. Hill and Chiefs PR are likely to say all the right things moving forward. This, of course, has nothing to do with the actions Hill is alleged to have committed.
Tyreek Hill thanks the #Chiefs organization and even Roger Goodell. Vows to keep growing as a person, like the way a tree adds layers as it grows. “I’m back. The Cheetah is back, man.”

Hill wants to move past his tumultuous offseason, as do the Chiefs who very clearly understand the impact he can make on the field. The public, however, is unlikely to be willing to do so given the magnitude of the allegations against Hill.
