If you consider every time someone says, "I'll kill you", to be a death threat then you're not well versed in the English language or the colloquialisms of our nation. You are also, one could logically assume, not personally well versed in the kind of slang being used in the tweet in question. You are also, demonstrably, unaware of what constitutes an actual death threat. You have to make a threat that a reasonable person would assume you intend to carry out. Seeing as how this already excludes you you'll have to trust the judgment of the calmer, smart and better educated around you to point out just how foolish you're being.
So, in essence you either believe Williams really intends to kill Burfict or you believe that the idea that a "death threat" was made is a laughable one.
Terrible "logic". If you want to deny what williams said, nobody can convince you otherwise. But everyone else with reasonable wits knows that williams was saying he was going to jump Burfict. The fact that williams deleted the tweet indicates either he got a dose of sense, or someone told him and he thought better of his stupidity. Burfict getting in his face before the game to say "here I am" was perfectly fine. Plus, you and all the rest of the steeler fans don't have any moral high ground to stand on until you muzzle that punk mitchell.
