3:51 PM PT — The man who made the racist comments is apologizing for his words — and chalking the whole thing up to a diabetic episode.
We spoke with 44-year-old Matt Rowan who admits it’s HIS voice making the insanely offensive comments about the girl’s basketball team while they were kneeling for the national anthem.
“I will state that I suffer Type 1 Diabetes and during the game, my sugar was spiking,” Rowan said in a statement.
“While not excusing my remarks, it is not unusual when my sugar spikes that I become disoriented and often say things that are not appropriate as well as hurtful.”
