University of Kansas basketball player Thomas Robinson is sorry. The junior forward with NBA potential has apologized for spitting on a bouncer during an April altercation at the Cave nightclub in Lawrence.

The Lawrence Journal-World reported that though the bouncer didn't want to press charges, Robinson completed 20 hours of community service and wrote the letter.

“I hope that you can forgive me for this serious lapse of judgment," Robinson wrote. "I am very embarrassed about my behavior that night. I now realize that you have a difficult job, and I’m sorry for making it tougher that evening.”

Robinson was cited for misdemeanor battery. Early reports were that two bouncers were punched. But the Journal-World reported that further investigation revealed that Robinson had spit on the bouncer.

try spitting on him at a KU game and see what happens to you......I doubt you get off with a phake-ass apology 4 months later and no other repurcussions.....

It is embarrassing that a first class team like KU has some players that don't possess the same amount of class as other members of the team.

Good job apologizing 4 months later. Lots of stand up individuals in Lawrence.
