MikeThe San Antonio Spurs’ George Hill became the second NBA player within a month to apologize for nude pictures of him that popped up on the internet. Previously, the Portland Trailblazers’ Greg Oden apologized for nude photos of him that he had sent to his girlfriend but got onto the internet. Here is what Hill said (through a statement released by his team):
A year ago I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I have matured and learned from this episode.
Somehow, I doubt that it will hurt their careers. In fact, since George Hill is not very well known, it might even help him. (Of course, he will be hearing a lot of things from fans when he is at away games.) I wonder what would have happened if it had been a female professional athlete in a female professional league whose nude photos had surfaced on the internet.
