Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Chris Long went on the defensive Tuesday after his tweet about hockey players garnered him backlash on Twitter.
On Monday night, Long posted the following:
Chris LongI see some ppl saying “turn on the Stanley Cup.” Guys take too many breaks in hockey. Shift changes constantly. For instance, last night,, Lebron played the entire game. I’d rather watch the grinders.
The tweet has since prompted over 600 replies, and Long joked that he could be in trouble if he ever goes north of the border, according to ESPN.
