WNBA Player Apologizes For Tweet About Japan

(AP) -- New York Liberty guard Cappie Pondexter has apologized for Twitter postings over the weekend about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Pondexter tweeted on Saturday: "What if God was tired of the way they treated their own people in there own country! Idk guys he makes no mistakes."

She later tweeted: "u just never knw! They did pearl harbor so u can't expect anything less."

Pondexter posted an apology Monday, which read in part:

"I wanna apologize to anyone I may hurt or offended during this tragic time. I didn't realize that my words could be interpreted in the manner which they were."

The Liberty did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the AP.
