INDIANAPOLIS -- NBA star Paul George got the message quickly Thursday. 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.
