Sonic says location’s Redskins sign was ‘hurtful and unacceptable’

Sonic hasn’t posted any open apologies to Facebook or Twitter, but its Twitter replies are virtually nothing but apologies at the moment. A few examples:
@Amandaallen30 You are right we cannot erase the pain and for that we are very sorry.
