“I like to joke. I wished I hadn’t said, ‘I don’t want to celebrate your holidays, and cheer for your soccer teams.’ It was said in jest. But I stand by the rest of what I said about coming to America to become us,” he told TMZ. (SLIDESHOW: Derek Jeter’s New Wife Loves Showing Off Skin)

It looks like the former football coach regrets his comments, but isn’t entirely backing down. The commentating legend is back at it again.
