Paul George apologizes for deleted tweets in support of Ray Rice

Most of the sports world was appalled by footage of Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancée in a casino elevator, and the overwhelming majority seem to agree that Rice should have received a punishment far more severe than a two-game suspension long before TMZ released the video.

Paul George is apparently not one of those people, as the injured Pacers All-Star took to Twitter on Thursday morning to support and somewhat defend Rice in a string of questionable tweets.

The tweets have been deleted, and George has since added an apology.
