Kris Humphries' marriage to Kim Kardashian lasted 72 days. The remanants of it have lasted far longer.

The Washington Wizards' forward found himself in the position of having to apologize — "clarify" — a tweet that went viral after Bruce Jenner's nationally-televised announcement that he was a woman on Friday.

Here goes:

Man, I'm glad I got out when I did. #Gottadoyou

I have and always will support Bruce hence #Gottadoyou. Now recognize I was too vague and sincerely apologize for the way this came across.

#FullySupportBruce

And the furor followed:

@KrisHumphries you aren't remotely the athlete he was and never will be...And you don't remotely possess the character or strength he does.
