New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins had an opportunity to move on Thursday. Jenkins spoke to the media for the first time since he tweeted an insensitive term at a fan Wednesday. Instead of apologizing and expressing remorse for his actions, he made things much worse.
Jenkins defended using the term “retard,” saying it was “part of my slang that I use.”
