Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray apologized on Wednesday after posting a picture of himself posing with one of his bulldogs while wearing a Michael Vick retro jersey.
Murray deleted the post after receiving heavy backlash and later apologized in Wednesday’s press conference.
“In no way, shape or form do I condone animal cruelty or dog fighting,” the quarterback said. “I saw how it affected people, so I decided to take it down. So I apologize to anybody and whoever I affected.”
