(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."
