Giants' Janoris Jenkins says using R-word a 'hood thing'

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins explained his use of an inappropriate word while tweeting at a fan Wednesday, saying it was "slang" that is "just part of my culture."

Jenkins was responding to a critical fan, taking exception when asked why the stats Jenkins was using to showcase his effectiveness weren't contributing to any wins.

"I can only do my job.. retard," Jenkins tweeted.

Giants coach Pat Shurmur met with Jenkins later in the day. Shurmur explained that his comments were "very inappropriate and offensive" but wouldn't disclose if his top cornerback would face any discipline.

Jenkins put an apology on social media later Wednesday. He was asked Thursday why he used the word in the first place.

"Where I'm from, we use all kind of words for slang. If it offends anybody, I'm sorry," Jenkins said. "It's a culture that I grew up in where I'm from, you know what I'm saying. We use all kinds of words for all kinds of slang. If you don't know, it's a 'hood thing. Whatever. I'm not calling nobody no name or pick at nobody. It's just something we use in the hood back at home."

Jenkins hadn't taken down the tweet as of Thursday afternoon. He was asked why he waited six hours and until after a conversation with Shurmur to apologize.

"I really didn't seem so bad with it," Jenkins said. "People like y'all started picking it up and making stories. So I just apologized."

Jenkins denied sending the tweets during practice. He said there is no cellular service in the training room (he's dealing with an ankle injury) and that the tweets went through after practice started. Jenkins wasn't in the fieldhouse for Wednesday's practice.
