Minnesota Vikings cornerback Josh Robinson issued an apology for his comments that were critical of the Supreme Court’s decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

After Friday’s court ruling, Robinson compared gay marriage to pedophilia and incest in a series of Twitter posts that have since been deleted.

“Love is love? So what will we say when the 30yr old loves YOUR 10 year old. When the dad loves HIS 6 year old? It’s different?? Yea okay!” Robinson tweeted.

Robinson issued an apology Friday night for his comments earlier in the day.

“I apologize for any offense my tweets may have caused,” Robison wrote in a text message to the Minneapolis Star Tribune?. “In an attempt to express my beliefs, I created some confusion with my choice of words, and for that I apologize. I do not equate the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality with other social issues. There are obvious differences. However, I do believe that God’s laws will always supersede man’s laws. This belief is not from hate for anyone but from a love for my God and all those he created. Again, I’m sorry!”

In three seasons with the Vikings, Robinson has 154 tackles and five interceptions in 42 games.
