NFL Apologizes for Tweet Referencing Mexico Earthquake

The NFL Mexico Twitter account apologized Friday for a tweet Thursday night that referenced the recent 8.2-magnitude earthquake in Mexico.

"Those times Mexico City shakes with an earthquake because it can’t believe the Chiefs have won the #Kickoff2017 game," the tweet read in Spanish with three laughing emoji, per Des Bieler of the Washington Post.

The next day, the account issued an apology in Spanish: "NFL Mexico apologizes for yesterday’s unacceptable tweet, which does not represent the values of the league. We reiterate our solidarity with Mexico."
