Washington Commanders' Jonathan Allen tweets about Hitler, later deletes and apologizes for it: ‘I realize it was dumb!’

Washington Commanders player Jonathan Allen deleted and apologized for a tweet about Adolf Hitler on Wednesday after saying he’d like to have dinner with the genocidal maniac.

“(Earlier) I tweeted something that probably hurt people and I apologize about what I said,” Allen wrote in his apology tweet. “I didn’t express properly what I was trying to say and I realize it was dumb!”
