#Cardinals DB Tyrann Mathieu goes on a Twitter rant that was needed; Very deep stuff
Tyrann Mathieu was once known as a troubled football player that was headed down the wrong path, yet he has since shaped up to become a pretty good football player and a person. This Twitter rant was pretty awesome, and when you consider the person it came from it makes it that much more powerful.
This all started over Will Smith the defensive end from the Saints that was shot multiple times by Cardell Hayes. Here is what Mathieu had to say:
RIP WILL SMITH.. #NewOrleans

They can’t go to parks like I was able to, because the grass ain’t cut & the rims have no nets nor do they even have rims ..

The budgets cutting into “education” “recreation” and everything else that is VITAL to a kid having success..

All they have is music to influence them, and if you listen closely to music now a days, it’s brainwashing them to believe drugs and killing
