Just before 7 p.m. Wednesday, ESPN broadcaster Keith Olbermann, who started a social media firestorm Tuesday when he attacked a Mississippi turkey hunter for killing a rare white gobbler, tweeted an apology to the young man.
"I am an opponent of trophy hunting and remain so, but nobody should feel threatened. This was anything but my intent, so I unreservedly apologize to Mr. Waltman for this tweet," Olbermann wrote.
