Simmon's behavior suggests a psychopath...

His apology was obviously forced and he closed it with this despicable rationalization:

"I was definitely in that mode, feeling myself. But, you know, it happens. Charge it to the game."

In other words, Simmons claims he had no agency as a moral human being. It was the "Game" that activated his reptilian sensibilities. And the most Sarkisian will do is talk around it.

FBS football with its ready embrace of a huge cohort of morally aberrant players is messed up.
