Cruz: Whitlock incident 'reflection' of U.S.' state

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz said Thursday that he views the racist graffiti drawn during a break-in of the home of teammate Nikita Whitlock as a reflection of the current state of the country.

Police in Moonachie, New Jersey, are investigating the Tuesday night robbery, during which burglars drew a swastika and "KKK," as well as the word "Trump," on walls inside Whitlock's residence.

The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, Moonachie police Sgt. Richard Behrens told The Record.

On Thursday, Cruz spoke out against what happened.
