Why Did Lewis Hamilton Find It Necessary To Apologise To The Pc Brigade?

it's the sort of thing my dad or grandad said to my nephews when they did the same...no harm intended merely a personal observation.

"...I’m not sure what your dislike of him is about." Jahulaye - stop trying to stir, just for once.
I think Lewis Hamilton is one of *the* most objectionable people *ever* to have put "pen to social media".
"I'm the big 'I-am' & I've so many people that lurve me to pieces, I can do no wrong. Even when I post something hateful about my nephew that is now irretrievable. I said that. Do I care? Nah, not so much cos ooh, look at the attention it's garnered!"
Oh, hang on... what's this? "I apologise". Oh well, that's ok then.
Yes, I *do* get that I'm adding to the "pile of..." that is him & his online garbage by replying here, but that's it from me.
Ooh, a good driver. Big pigging deal.

LiK - I completely respect your opinion on whether Hamilton was right or wrong but I can't agree that his comments were "hateful."
Where was the hate?
Somehow it's acceptable and even something to rejoice at if the public openly accuse the DoE of organising the "murder" of Princess Diana (despite the fact that he was the one member of the family who held an unwavering fondness for her) but tell a young lad that he looks a sissy in a pink ra-ra dress and you're guilty of exuding "hate."
I truly despair.

I think it's crass to do such.
Up and down the land Grans, Granddads, Aunts, Uncles make daft dated remarks to children - they should stay in that room, what is being achieved by blasted them out world wide?

Ok, trying to answer people in order, apologies if it's all wrong but I'm hungry... -
ummmm- no. It's simply (it seems to me) that every time he's mentioned lately, it's because of something he's posted. I don't understand - really, I don't - why, in the names of all the Gods & little fishes, would you post *anything* without thinking it through?
Unless, as I posited earlier, you're so uber-confident that you think you can get away with anything.
I can't say it any more vehemently - Lewis Hamilton stinks as a human being - IMO.
NoM - "hateful" - ok, that's my reading of what he posted. I repeat, I don't understand how *anyone* can post such a sentiment without thinking it through. That "story" is now out there permanently & the lad has to grow up with Uncle Lewis' comments as a part of his life. No, that shouldn't be the case, but it will be.
I'm really off for dins now, he's had more of my attention than I ever thought I'd be giving him.

Lewis Hamilton lost the right to critique anyone's choice of clothing many years ago.

Furthermore, in this picture he is obviously cross-dressing in his grandmother's coat:

And what the actual hell is this monstrosity:

Ditto Jno's answer. Privately my family banter like there is no tomorrow, and we have even been known to post 'orrible pictures and comments about one another on the net in the name of off centre humour, but what we don't do, is mock the younger members of our family publicly, or make comments about anyone young or old cross dressing, not because a five year old is necessarily cross dressing, just dressing up, but because once spoken words cannot be taken back, and with someone with as many followers as Lewis Hamilton has, somewhere there will be a young lad or lass struggling with their gender identity, dressing preferences or sexuality whose hero has just derided the very thing they are trying to deal with. That could be crushing if someone is particularly vulnerable. He's a role model, so he needs to think more carefully in a larger way than how he and people who know him might perceive what he says, and in my experience people only apologise publicly because if they don't it'll damage them, I gravely doubt he's sorry about anything.
