Torii Hunter ended up in a firestorm on Twitter late last night when he posted his thoughts about Floyd Mayweather following his victory over Manny Pacquiao.
``Don't let your emotions cloud ur judgment," Hunter wrote. ``What Mayweather does in the ring is business. We he does outside the ring has nothing to do with me."
Mayweather has been convicted of domestic abuse charges multiple times, so that statement didn't go over very well. Responses on twitter and other websites have been strongly against his statement. Hunter, a boxing fan, predicted earlier in the evening that Mayweather would win. He tried to clarify his thoughts with another tweet.
``I'm just saying he know how to fight in the ring people," Hunter later wrote. ``Don't over analyze this. I don't supposed domestic violence. Stay focused."
The tweets were later deleted from his feed.
Sitting in front of his stall in the Twins clubhouse before Sunday's game against the White Sox, Hunter maintained that his tweet was taken the wrong way.
``Come on, man. I would be crazy to support something like that," said Hunter, who has been married to his wife, Katrina, for 18 years. ``If I offended anyone I'm sorry. It is not normal to agree with domestic violence."
Hunter, who has landed it hot water for some comments he's made in the past, said he's done with twitter.
