In a series of ill-advised Twitter ramblings Thursday morning, Indiana Pacers All-Star forward Paul George came to the defense of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.
Rice, of course, was kicked off the team this week and banned indefinitely by the NFL after a video surfaced of him knocking out his then-fiancée. Following the inevitable backlash online, George backtracked a bit:
Keep it 100 lets act on this police violence like we actin on this Ray Rice case! Stay strong homie !
