Marcus Vick stirred up a controversy on Twitter, and again he’s trying to use the excuse that he was hacked.
Marcus Vick, who is the younger brother of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mike Vick, offered a $1,000 bounty to a defensive player to light up Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper with a hit. Cooper drew headlines on Wednesday when video emerged of him using a despicable racial slur at a Kenny Chesney concert.

Ok ok my girl is deleting my twitter. You guys have fun. Enjoy & be safe I'm out! ✌
