Like many athletes and celebrities, Falcon’s wide receiver, Roddy White, took his comments to Twitter after the not guilty verdict was announced in the Trayvon Martin case. Emotions were running high after the jury let Zimmerman walk free, and many used social media to vent their anger. Roddy told the six member, all-female jury to “kill themselves” for letting Zimmerman off. It was retweeted more than 3,500 times. Do you think White’s tweet went too far?
