I think it was mentioned by Burke last night but the theory is if he does that, he opens himself up to potential lawsuit(s) from Aliu. It will likely happen anyway but the wording of the apology was, in my layman, Gen X non-Boomer view, calculated to limit any potential damage admission would give. I think the apology lines in the letter are of a similar nature with the generic team comment and Aliu's response is laying the groundwork for some sort of suit as well.
It's an ugly situation but if the league comes out with more progressive policies it could eventually be a good thing.
