Well, the Dallas Cowboys are now in a little hot water on Twitter due to a tweet that many are considering "tone deaf" following the weekend of shootings.

America's Team attempted to celebrate America's birthday by giving away tickets in conjunction with one of their sponsors, Black Rifle Coffee. Many fans, though, thought it was in poor taste due to the shootings and the fact that the coffee name is "black rifle" and the tweet referred to them as "America's Coffee".


Here are some of the angry responses to the tweet.

Not all of the responses were negative, though, as many also came to the defense of the Cowboys.
