After George Zimmerman was found not guilty of all charges on Saturday evening, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz sent a threatening tweet that has since been deleted from his account.
He tweeted, "Thoroughly confused. Zimmerman doesn't last a year before the hood catches up to him."

Trade him to Oakland he should be at home there.
I know this will get me flamed by some here, but I’ve had it with professional sports because it is populated by too many like this guy. I know there are still plenty of ‘good guys’ in professional sports, but the percentage of apparent thugs is too high to ignore.
It may not be a popular observation, but I remember never being able to like Muhammad Ali, in fact I despised him. I lay at his feet the start of trash talking. The "look at me" attitude. The "I'm better than you" mentality. In my opinion, he single-handedly (along with the help of the media) started the poisonous atmosphere that sports have become.
Rabble rousers tend to have short attention spans, fortunately for the sane among us.
I became aware of then Cassius Clay in 1964 when he was screaming “I am the greatest!!” Professional sports really started downhill in the 1970’s and is thoroughly thuggized now.
The only sports I watch is at Hockeyfights.com. The essence of fair play & competition distilled down to its basics with two designated bruisers on skates beating the cr@p out of each other.
In sports as in most matters it’s always best to cut to the chase.
Just another NFL thug promoting thuggery.
Truly nothing even close to surprising out of that player or thaleaguee.
Will this so-called football team disavow his race baiting comments? I’D BE REALLY, REALLY SURPRISED.
I won't disagree, but this is one of my favorite pictures of all time. From the second Liston fight
Given the NFL’s stated policy to punish players for making remarks they feel are politically incorrect, we all need the e-mail for the NFL so we can explain how offended we are and how important it is for them to punish every player who suggests that a good hispanic man be killed for defending himself.
Warren Sapp Tweeted..”Plaxico Burrus gets two years for shooting himself??
True.

You’re not going to get any fire from me!
From about 1963 on, you couldn’t pry me away from the TV on football Sundays. Decades later, football turned into more business than sport. The final death-knell (IMHO) was the idiots at the NFL hiring MTV to manage the halftime show resulting in the half-time titty show. Morons.
If anyone would know the ways of the hood it’s the average football player.
True 40% of the NFL members are felons.
Knowing the PC spineless NFL, I expect they will take no action.
When he realizes his gravy train is going to end, expect to hear the Jim Carrey non-apology apology in 3...2...1...
What is the over-under on how long it is before this douche bag is arrested on some kind of criminal charges?
NFL: Negros, Felons, and Liberals.
