This Minnesota House Representative sent out a pretty ill-advised tweet on Sunday night, to say the least. Garofalo was asked to clarify what he meant by Deadspin and this is what he had to say:
Hi Tim. Thanks for the email and for giving me a chance to respond. I was talking about the NBA’s high arrest rate and that their punishment for positive drugs tests are weaker than other leagues. No intent beyond that. The culture among many pro athletes that they are above the law is the problem, not people like me pointing that problem out.
Always think before you tweet.
