It was not a smart move by Paul George regardless if you agree or disagree with him. He has a right to his opinion, but he also represents the NBA and the Pacers. If those opinions don’t mesh with his bosses, things like this happen.
Larry Bird calls Paul George's tweets on domestic violence "thoughtless," says team has talked to PG and expressed its "strong displeasure."

My advice to athletes who may feel Ray Rice is being railroaded is to keep their opinions off social media.
