IRVING, Texas — Dallas defensive end Greg Hardy, who is facing a 10-game suspension for his role in a domestic violence case, stirred criticism Friday night with a joking reference on Twitter to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Hardy was responding to a fan of his former team in Carolina after the Panthers drafted a tall receiver for the second straight year. The fan referred to the receivers as "The Twin Towers" and included photos of both 6-foot-5 receivers — Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess, a second-round pick Friday night.
Hardy tweeted: "didn't the twin towers get blowN up lol.
