“I would like to sincerely apologize for the video posted on my social media page during the America’s Cup celebrations. The song contains extremely offensive language and there is absolutely no justification for such language.
I oppose racism in all its forms and manifestations! Now I apologize for what happened. It happened in the euphoria of my team’s victory in the America’s Cup. This video, this moment, these words do not reflect my beliefs or my character. I am truly sorry,” Fernandez wrote on his social media page.
