Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett was walking another fine line on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. He re-tweeted and then had comments on the Chandler mall shooting.
He apparently received some negative feedback on his tweets because he attempted to clarify his stance, and then addressed a radio station's decision to talk about him with the most recent tweets on the Twitter timeline below (approx times were added).
The Cardinals declined to comment.
