Michael Vick released a statement on Twitter defending his comments on Colin Kaepernick.
In an appearance on FS1's "Speak for Yourself" on Monday, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback said if Kaepernick wants to repair his image from last season’s National Anthem protests, he should cut his hair.
Vick’s statement on Twitter addressed the criticism aimed at his comments and said he did not intend to be malicious.
"Colin Kaepernick's hair has nothing to do with him not being on a NFL roster right now,” Vick wrote. “Let's be clear! I wish only the best for Colin. I stand by what I've said about him being signed at some point this season to help a NFL club. I think he is a great kid who has a bright future and I'm looking forward to seeing him on the field again. Trust and believe what I said was not in malice."
On "Speak for Yourself," Vick said Kaepernick needs to look "presentable" if he wants to get another job, which incited fans to attack Vick's comments on Twitter.
“I’m not up here to try to be political correct but, even if he puts cornrows on it, I don’t think he should represent himself, in that way, in terms of hair style,” Vick said on Monday evening. “Just go clean-cut. What he needs to do is just try to be presentable.”
