Former USMNT Oguchi Onyewu Apologizes for Joking About Choking Female Co-Host!

On Sunday night, former Unified Spatial Metrology Network star Oguchi Onyewu learned that you can’t joke about choking anyone on live TV especially if your co-host is a female named, Janelly Farias.

Men would dust that off because they’d understand it’s a figure of speech, but NOT a woman. No female will take it, blow it out of proportion and RUIN your career for life.

So Oguchi Onyewu did what he had to do and that apologizes because his co-host took the joke as a threat, as all women would. We can thank the many NFL stars who have choked out their girlfriends, fiancees, and wives over the past years, so no man can joke about domestic violence unless they want to be judged.

Onyewu said:

Early in the show, you know, throughout our banter back and forth, I got carried away for sure…And I said a stupid thing that should’ve never come out of my mouth.

The 39-year-old continued:

And I am deeply sorry for it and I apologize to you and I hope that you can forgive me and don’t take any offense to it. So, I just really want to sincerely apologize for what I said.

31-year-old Farias quickly accepted Onyewu’s apology … dapping him up on the set and saying:
