The Las Vegas Raiders got angry backlash for a tweet the team sent after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd.

The tweet sent by the team's official account on Tuesday said "I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21." Floyd told officers "I can't breathe" more than 20 times before he was killed when Chauvin pressed his knee into Floyd's neck last May.The tweet was widely condemned in replies on Twitter but remained pinned to the top of the team's Twitter account more than two hours after being posted.

"That's my tweet," owner Mark Davis told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "That was me. I don't want anyone in the organization taking heat. I take full responsibility for that."

Wonder how well that pregnant could breathe when he had a gun at her stomache There should not have bern a knee at his neck, but please dont make a 9 time convicted criminal become a sudden saint!!!

Cancel Culture gotta cancel

⚪️people should maybe put a sock in it for a bit. In an attempt to show their understanding and solidarity, while trying to shine with some wise words, they are failures See also: Nancy Pelosi Canadian MP Anthony Housefather

It was meant to support the verdict in the spirit of with victory, breathing again. Should've consulted a PR firm.

Jamil Jivani: What Black conservatives are saying following the Derek Chauvin verdictAs with most dominant narratives these days, Black conservatives are written out of the discourse What right wing people said it was a miscarriage of justice? Name one prominent. Why do you even throw that in there? Sounds bigoted . . President Biden himself has publicly said 'black conservative' is an oxymoron (see the Clarence Thomas hearings) . . add that to 'black voters ain't black if they're considering Trump' . .
