What he said on the BBC may seem reasonable and true to some people. The problem is that he is the one who said it. That's not how it works.
He should have been unconditionally apologetic and humble, but he decided to be a dick. If he had just raised his hands right away and stopped trying to make it look like all is good then people may have not only had sympathy for him, but people possibly would be defending him with the same kind of stuff he said a couple of days ago.
I hope the ban for life stays. He was an example for many in his glory days and should be an example for many now too, just a different kind of example.
