LOS ANGELES – Spurs guard George Hill has issued an apology for a set of nude and sexually explicit photographs of him that have surfaced on the Internet.
The photos, taken sometime last year, recently appeared on the Web site thedirty.com.
“A year ago, I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions,” Hill, 23, said in a statement through the Spurs on Tuesday. “I have matured and learned from this episode. I would like to apologize to my girlfriend, my family, all of our great fans and the Spurs organization.”
Meanwhile, the Spurs have dispatched lawyers in attempts to have Hill's photos removed from the site.
Citing trademark infringement and claiming the photos were “disseminated illegally and without permission,” the law firm Bracewell & Giuliani – which represents the Spurs – has sent a cease-and-desist letter to thedirty.com.
The legal missive, first obtained by the celebrity gossip site TMZ.com, demands that thedirty.com “immediately and permanently remove the photographs and all references to the Spurs.”
So far, the Web site has denied the team's request. In his reply, David Gringas, the attorney representing thedirty.com and its founder, Nik Richie, called the Spurs' claims “totally without merit.”
“Trademark law does not apply to criticism of celebrities making fools of themselves,” Gringas wrote.
Hill is the second NBA player in recent weeks to apologize for naked photos. Portland's Greg Oden issued a similar mea culpa when pictures of him in the buff emerged two weeks ago.
I am a parent of an 11 and 13 year old and we used this incident to discuss the idiocy of sexting. Once those photos go out, you can't get them back. Hill is young and it was a stupid thing to do, but he still has my support.
sup with all these fags?
I dunno if this Gingras fool is right in the shit he's written in his letter.
He seems to be saying that thedirty.com's post of his pic gives the impression that George is endorsing the use of his likeness (dick pic).
The argument the Spurs organization is making is that the web posting gives the image that the Spurs are endorsing George's dick pic. Seems to be a different argument.
Now we know why Hill went 2-8 and scored 5 points the game after he scored 22.
Those damn pictures may have cost the Spurs the pivotal game of the year. :lol
This could be the thing that lifts the Spurs up.
Or lifts RJ up anyway.Quote:

There goes Hill image. I wonder what Pop thinks about this :lol
YES it was, a LONG time ago. Did some think this is new or just hear about it? It is a distraction now and it can't get worse? It was a year ago when this came up, it just so happens someone did not take the pics down and they are trying to get them down now.Quote:

Immediate changes in his personal life because of a past mistake :lol:lol. GOD forbid he needs to change his whole life now because of some nude pics he sent, he should be ashamed now for it lol. Good lord act as if we have not made some mistakes in our lives and regretted it later, it did not require a overhaul of our lives though.Quote:

I agree he should have not sent the pics to the girl, but at the time I am sure he was thinkng this this girl was not beyond nuts and would do this, it's a little mistake not like he raped a girl or busted a gun in the air for GODS SAKES (It did no harm to anyone really).Yep this gets more attention than Jackson busting a gun in the air at a club and people still want him back here :lol. Did that ruin him? It seems something as little as this gets more attention than a gun or a rape charge.Quote:
