The following is a statement from Delmon Young's agent, Arn Tellem, who is an active supporter of the Jewish community in both the U.S. and Israel, and involved with the National Jewish Fund:

"I have known Delmon for most of his life, and I can assure you that he is not anti-Semitic. He has a big heart and has always been exceedingly fairand broad-minded. He acknowledged that he drank too much on the night of the incident, and that he put himself in a compromising situation. He has owned up to his mistakes and apologized for his actions. I'm confident that Delmon will use this opportunity to reflect on his mistakes and learn from them."
