Alex Rodriguez Apologizes (Again) for Suspension in Hand-Written Note, but the Internet Isn't Having It

He said he had the opportunity to apologize at Yankee Stadium but wanted to focus on the game

If it's one thing you can learn about the Internet and apologies, it's that they don't go over well.

One person that probably learned that today is Alex Rodriguez, who penned a hand-written apology letter for his drug use that landed him the longest suspension in Major League Baseball history. Writing it "to the fans," A-Rod said he accepts "full responsibility" for his actions.

Here is the letter in full from NBC Sports:

To the Fans,

I take full responsibility for the mistakes that led to my suspension for the 2014 season. I regret that my actions made the situation worse than it needed to be. To Major League Baseball, the Yankees, the Steinbrenner family, the Players Association and you, the fans, I can only say I'm sorry.

I accept the fact that many of you will not believe my apology or anything that I say at this point. I understand why and that's on me. It was gracious of the Yankees to offer me the use of Yankee Stadium for this apology but I decided the next time I am in Yankee Stadium, I should be in pinstripes doing my job.

I served the longest suspension in the history of the League for PED use. The Commissioner has said the matter is over. The Players Association has said the same. The Yankees have said the next step is to play baseball.

I'm ready to put this chapter behind me and play some ball.

This game has been my single biggest passion since I was a teenager. When I go to spring training, I will do everything I can to be the best player and teammate possible, earn a spot on the Yankees and help us win.

Sincerely,

Alex

Unfortunately, many aren't taking his apology seriously. Many have turned to Twitter to trash on the famous baseball player's letter, claiming it "insincere" and even playing on Drake's latest album to poke fun at the apology attempt. 

Here are six people who just weren't going to deal with A-Rod's note:

Rodriguez was suspended for the entire 2014 season for his ties to Biogenesis, a now-closed anti-aging clinic in Florida that allegedly supplied banned performance-enhancing drugs to players. He is signed to play with the Yankees through the 2017 season.

Many including ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson and Donald Trump sounded off about the long-term suspension, saying that people should "reap the consequences" for their poor decisions.
