Emmanuel Duran made a huge mistake, and it seems like he knows it. Duran is a senior defensive lineman for Edinburg High School in Texas. He made news recently when he trucked a ref after being ejected from a playoff football game. If you haven’t seen it, here’s the video.

Duran was taken off the field by police, and later arrested. He was also suspended from playing any high school sports for the remainder of his career. Edinburg will be on probation through the 2021-22 season due to Duran’s act.

Emmanuel Duran posted an apology video on Youtube.

“To my teammates, I’d like for y’all to please accept my apology for putting y’all into this bad situation and letting y’all forfeit the playoffs. I hope y’all can please accept my apology,” Duron said in his video apology, in which he also expressed remorse to his parents, school officials and coaches as well as the public. “To my mom and dad, I am extremely sorry for putting them into this tough situation. I want to thank them for being there in my life and impacting me with good advice and for never letting me down. I’m sorry to the school administrators and my coaches. I’m extremely sorry for my actions and for bringing negative attention towards the district,” Duran said while sitting next to his mom and dad.

“Finally, I would like to apologize to all the people that got offended by the video. I will work extremely hard to prove to y’all that who you saw in the video is not me.”

Hopefully Emmanuel Duran learns a big lesson from this terrible, terrible mistake. He is a young man who let his anger get the best of him. Hopefully this action doesn’t define him for the rest of his life.
