Alou: Radio host's punishment just 'slap on the hand'

I dont know who Im more pissed at! The host for the comments or the players for acting so immature and not accepting his apology...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Giants manager Felipe Alou called a one-week suspension given to a radio host for making racial remarks about the team's Latino players ``a slap on the hand'' and said he wouldn't accept an apology from Larry Krueger.

``He came to apologize to me? You have to be kidding me,'' Alou said Saturday, one day after the suspension. ``There's no way to apologize for such a sin.''

Alou said he wasn't in position to accept an apology on behalf of the ``hundreds of millions'' of people offended earlier this week when Krueger went on the Giants' flagship station, KNBR, and went off about the struggling club and its ``brain-dead Caribbean hitters hacking at slop nightly.''
