“Zimmerman doesn’t last a year before the hood catches up with him,” Cruz Tweeted before later deleting it.

Earlier Sunday, Cruz decided to apologize as well:

“My tweet last night was my initial interpretation of the reaction I was reading on twitter,” Cruz wrote. ”I immediately realized my tweet was a mistake and I apologize, that’s why I deleted it. I believe conversation not confrontation leads to change and progress. I never have and never will advocate violence under any circumstances and I pray that we all encourage and educate each other. The death of Trayvon Martin is an unthinkable tragedy that is any parent’s worst nightmare. As a father, I want my daughter to grow up in a country that uses this tragedy to heal and grow and progress. My prayers continue to go out to Trayvon Martin’s family.”

Guy does a lot of praying. Pray tell Mr Cruze, why not educate yourself on the facts of Trayvon Martin's sorry existence, lack of character, and delinquency.

His agent wrote it for him immediately after Tom Coughlin got off the phone about waivers.

When he was the coach here for the Jags, he did not put up with any crap, period. I would expect the same for the Giants.

Here’s my reply to his apology on his twitter account... Maybe (doubtful) seeing it in print will bring reflection...

It’s OK... Maybe you’ll blow your knee out and never play again... Geez, how did that sound? #dumbjock

So the guy who makes his living in one of the most violent sports we have doesn’t advocate violence. Interesting.

I am not sure what free speech has to do with it? If you had an employee that went around saying something, say that the U.S. was an evil country, and U.S. women deserved to be raped, wouldn’t you have the right to fire that person? I would, and I don’t think I’d be violating their Free Speech. They could say what they want, but if they are causing my business to be represented in a way I don’t like, I don’t have to support it.

Translation:

The money from football is far more important than some dead, racist thug who stupidly attacked an armed hispanic man!

I am proud than None of my money has trickled into the nba, nfl, baseball or NASCAR in many years. I shun them because they hate me and what I believe in. They destroy society when they align with communists and their plan.

God forgives, I don’t. To some, that may make me less worth of salvation. That’s between God and me.

And for the NSA trolls, FU.
