his antics cost his dad $100,000 and the Falcons $250,000 in fines<\/a> from the NFL. His father apologized publicly in a Falcons press conference on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\u201cFirst of all, I\u2019d like to publicly apologize to Shedeur and the Sanders family for what occurred,\u201d he said. \u201cSecond of all, I want to publicly apologize to (Falcons owner) Mr. (Arthur) Blank, (general manager) Terry Fontenot, (coach) Raheem Morris and the entire Falcons organization. My actions \u2014 my actions \u2014 of not protecting confidential data were inexcusable. My son\u2019s actions were absolutely inexcusable. And for that, we are both deeply sorry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NFL has taken action and I fully respect the punishment. We take full responsibility, my son and myself, and we will not be appealing the fine in any way. Going forward, I promise my son and I will work hard to demonstrate we are better than this. Again, I am deeply sorry for our actions.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he tried to contact the Sanders family as soon as he discovered Jax was involved. He said they \u201cwere amazingly gracious … more gracious than they needed to be in a moment like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
