A lot of NBA players around the league have been supporting Eric Garner by wearing the "I Can't Breathe" shirts.
Of course, there are ignorant people out there who have been criticizing these players for wearing them, such as this Fox News host to LeBron James.
It looks like these ignorant comments continue from Fox, as Fox Deportes reporter Erika Reidt posted an insensitive comment to a photo of Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant wearing the shirt.
ESPN writer Arash Markazi posted a photo of Bryant wearing the shirt to Instagram, which led to Reidt commenting, "I'm gonna start wearing a shirt that says 'I can't breathe because I obey the law.'"
People became aware of the comment, and it led to backlash in the comments section of the photo:
The news soon started to spread to Twitter:

Reidt, whose Twitter (@ErikaReidt) is now deleted, responded to backlash saying that she was hacked on Twitter.
"I want to clarify in regards to the comment about Eric Garner, my account was hacked & apparently that comment was posted without my conset"
This led to questions since Reidt thanked one Twitter use for defending one of her comments:

Reidt eventually made things a lot worse when she wrote this on Twitter:
"I was raised in the hood and know the struggles our minority communities go through. I pray we become the system and abolish all racism."
It was followed by this:
