"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford apologized Sunday for tweeting a video of\u00A0defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul dunking\u00A0second-year cornerback Prince Amukamara into an ice bath.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to apologize to the fans... The video I posted was distasteful. Our team is a family, and we love each other. I am sorry to the fans&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2014 Steve Weatherford (@Weatherford5) August 19, 2012&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Friday, Weatherford promoted the video, one that has caused controversy in and out of the Giants' organization. The video was full of explicit language and some racial epithets, and it miffed head coach Tom Coughlin when he found out about it on Sunday. He didn't specify whether he had seen the video, but he said he was going to look into the situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I'm learning about that today,'' Coughlin said on a conference call with reporters. \"I really didn't have any information about that until maybe an hour ago, an hour before this conference call. I'm going to look into it. I'm going to talk to the parties involved.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Anything that occurs within this family or within our group should not be a part of any social media aspect,'' he added. \"I'm going to address that strongly, and I've spent a little time on that this preseason, but I'll look into it further.''&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile,\u00A0Amukamara told The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., after Saturday night's preseason victory over the Jets that he was confused over why he was hazed, since NFL veterans typically save that training-camp treatment for rookies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Yeah, um, well, I mean, I just don\u2019t get it. I don\u2019t understand the rules,\u201D he said. \u201CI mean, I\u2019m not a rookie anymore, so I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m getting thrown in the tub. I know it\u2019s all love.\n\u201CYeah, no one ever likes it, especially when it\u2019s you vs. eight and no one\u2019s helping you. But it doesn\u2019t mess up our team morale or anything.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
