INDIANAPOLIS -- NBA star Paul George got the message quickly Thursday. Jeff Green Jersey . After tweeting that Ray Rice should be allowed to continue his NFL career and suggesting he was merely responding to being attacked, George backtracked Thursday, replacing his deleted comments with an apology to women and victims of domestic violence. Rice was released by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after an elevator video showed Rice knocking out his then-fiancee with a punch to the face. The two are now married. George tweeted that although he didnt condone hitting women, he believed Rice should to be allowed to play in the NFL. In another post George wrote: If you in a relationship and a woman hit you first and attacking YOU.. Then you obviously aint beatin HER. Homie made A bad choice! After the posts created a stir in media circles, George pulled down all of those posts and replaced them with an apology that read in part: My intent was not to downplay the situation. Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird chastised the teams best player for the comments. Paul Georges tweets from earlier were thoughtless and without regard to the subject of domestic violence and its seriousness in society, Bird said. We have talked to Paul to strongly express our displeasure and made it clear that the NBA and the Pacers organization will not condone or tolerate remarks of this nature. Paul understands that he was wrong and why his tweets were so inappropriate and is very apologetic. George is recuperating from a gruesome compound fracture in his right leg that is likely to keep him out of the entire 2014-15 NBA season. Kyle Korver Jersey . The 31-year-old, a two-time CFL lineman of the year, was among the most coveted free agents on the market. The Windsor, Ont., native will be especially important to a team that has lost veteran quarterback Anthony Calvillo to retirement and is expected to go with the less experienced Troy Smith and Tanner Marsh this season. Jeff Hornacek Jersey . -- J.R. Sweezy was the one part of the Seattle Seahawks offensive line that had avoided injuries or having to change positions this season. https://www.cheapjazzonline.com/1068e-joe-ingles-jersey-jazz.html . Mako Vunipola was promoted from the reserves, with Matt Mullan called up to the bench on Thursday. "It is important that Joe is with his partner at this exciting time," England coach Stuart Lancaster said.GREEN BAY, Wis. - Defensive end-linebacker Mike Neal apparently is returning to the Packers. A posting Wednesday evening on the Twitter account of the unrestricted free agent said "Hi Green Bay!!! Ill enjoy your winters for two more years!!" Messaged left by The Associated Press for Neals agent were not immediately answered. Neal on Twitter later received congratulations from Johnny Jolly, himself an unrestricted free agent who played last year in Green Bay. In his fourth year out of Purdue, Neal last season played more linebacker and rushed from the outside in the Packers 3-4 scheme. It turned out to be an important move with Clay Matthews and Nick Perry missing time due to injuries. Neal had five sacks in 16 games and 10 starts last season, all career highs. Bob Hansen Jersey. Green Bay on Wednesday did lose safety M.D. Jennings, who signed a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears. Jennings had one interception in 26 starts over the last two seasons. Coach Mike McCarthy has said he would like more impact players across the defence, and the team could turn to the draft to address the safety spot opposite Morgan Burnett. As for Jolly, a message on his Twitter account Tuesday said that he had "great news" from his doctor about the neck injury that knocked him out late last season. The neck fusion had "healed perfectly" and he had a "green light" to start some strength work, Jolly said. ___ AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
