On Monday night, Denver Broncos cornerback Tony Carter told a bad joke on Twitter -- a really bad and insensitive joke -- referencing the Aurora theater shooting that left 12 dead and 58 injured. Today, Carter is apologizing for the remark that angered many on Twitter.
According to Fox31, Carter tweeted:
At a late night movie in Denver yall pray for me!
That tweet was deleted shortly after Carter posted it, as well was his initial follow up, which read, "No Disrespect!!!"
Twitter exploded with negative comments directed back at the Bronco, MileHighSports reported:
