Oklahoma State’s football head coach Mike Gundy apologized Tuesday for the “pain and discomfort” he caused the players and others with a T-shirt he was photographed wearing touting One America News Network, a fringe right-wing cable channel that has criticized the Black Lives Matter movement.

Gundy said he’d met with his players, who told him why they were upset, and said, “Once I learned how that network felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me. . . . Black Lives Matters to me.”

He also said the meetings will result in “positive changes” for the school’s football program. Gundy’s apology came the day after star running back Chuba Hubbard tweeted criticism of him for the shirt, saying, “I will not stand for this.”
