Eagles cornerback Darius Slay has apologized for tweeting a joke in reference to a video where a police officer could be seen getting and knocked to the ground by a thrown object.
In a since-deleted tweet, Slay wrote, “Captain America!” with a cry-laughing emoji above a video that showed an officer getting hit in the head and knocked to the ground by a trash can lid.
The Captain America part was obviously in reference to the Marvel character and how he throws his shield.
On Saturday, Slay apoligized for his actions:
“Yesterday I made a comment on a post that, at the time, seemed harmless to me,” Slay wrote. “If you know me, you know I’m a funny, outgoing type of guy. I made a comment that seemed humorous at the time but I meant no harm. I do not condone law enforcement violence whatsoever, especially with everything going on now. To anyone I offended, I do apologize.”
