Sacramento Bee's editor edits out a few crucial words, makes Bonzi look really bad

The Original:

Quote:
Wells said his Blazers' tenure was mixed. The good included playoffs and his coming-out party as a player from tiny Ball State. He averaged a career-best 17 points a game in 2001-02. But there was constant strife and media storms for off-court behavior, from marijuana possession to domestic abuse to locker-room tussles. And the fan base soured on the product.
It should have said:

But he was on a team with constant strife and media storms because of the off-court behavior of other players, from marijuana possession to domestic abuse to locker-room tussles. And the fan base soured on the product.
Ouch.

Bonzi Wells Responds to The Sacramento Bee - 10/24/05

Quote:
On the front page of the October 22, 2005 edition of The Sacramento Bee’s Sports section, an article erroneously implied that Bonzi Wells engaged in ‘tussles’ with teammates and was charged with marijuana possession and domestic abuse when he was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers. These implied allegations are completely false. Both the Sacramento Bee’s writer, Joe Davidson and its sports editor, Bill Bradley have acknowledged the error and committed to a correction.

In response to the article, Bonzi Wells offers the following statement:

"The allegations implied in the Sacramento Bee article that ran October 22, 2005 are totally false. I am very disappointed by these implied allegations. I have three sons that I have carefully taught all of their lives stay away from drugs and to treat all human beings with respect. I want my sons and the public to know the truth --- I have never been: a) in locker room tussles with teammates; b) charged with possession of marijuana (nor any other drug); nor c) charged with domestic abuse.
