This is why I don't use twitter

As I wrote earlier this week Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back Rashard Mendenhall wrote some extremely controversial tweets on twitter.com  Well Guess what Rashard you opened up your mouth in an area which it did not need to be open.  This isn't the first time Rashard made some strong controversial tweets He defended Running Back of the Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson incase you have forgetten here they are "@AdrianPeterson is correct in his anology of this game. It is a lot deeper than most people understand," he said. "Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel eachother" Well from those comments till now Mendenhall will lose some money.  Athletic apparel maker Champion has fired Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall and says it will not pay out the remainder of his endorsement contract that runs through 2015.  Rashard is 23 years and will miss out on four years of paydays for "marketing services.  According to USA Today " The former 1st round draft pick out of the University of Illinois recently signed a 4-year extension of his initial 3-year deal with Champion."We intend to pay Rashard through the termination of the contract, which we have dated as effective next Friday," Hall said.
Champion declined to comment on the legal grounds its using to escape its long-term endorsement deal with Mendenhall. But Hall says "the termination is allowed by and consistent with the language contained in the contract."
The Steelers did not return a phone call Friday seeking a comment on Mendenhall. But the AFC champions put out a statement Tuesday distancing themselves from their young star.
