Twitter is for morons
As to Spikes' tweet...let he who has never made a joke in bad taste throw stones
I for one will not be throwing any
Stuff I once thought was hilarious in my 20s just doesn't seem as funny anymore and I've hardly matured at all according to wife

My word. Talk about a whole lotta nothing. Some people are just looking to be outraged, I guess.

Yes, it was a joke. No, it was not a very good joke. It is not racist nor sexist, and does not contain any anatomical pictures that might shock or offend.

Barring a libel claim brought from the North Pole, nothing to see here.

It's not a surprise but that doesn't make my eyes roll at any lower RPM.
You seemed to have been irate about some of the public expressing a negative opinion in your OP...

Good for him. People take this **** far too seriously but we live in the 'i want to be offended' days so everyone with a stick up their ass is gonna decide this is a huge scandal even though it was as obvious a joke as you can come across.

I stopped following Spikes because he was going to give me diabetes. It's never too late to unfollow someone, or refollow them when they call Ray Rice Gary Coleman.

He put it in public = he's an idiot and lacks sound judgement. Makes me wonder if he has any ability to be a leader as he lacks awareness.

If he joked about it privately, I wouldn't care.

He should know better than to bring negative attention for no reason.

Luckily Goodell can't suspend someone for making a joke, though I don't doubt that he'd try.

It's scary how America is drowning in coke and booze but won't allow somebody to make a joke about it. The only thing stupid about Spikes' joke is miscalculating the response of a politically correct world, especially his employer and Commisioner Goodwrench.
