Ashton Kutcher said he Tweeted without having the full story about the controversial firing of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
"How do you fire Jo Pa? #insult #noclass as a hawkeye fan I find it in poor taste," the actor wrote in a Tweet that has since been deleted.

Kutcher's Tweet came in the wake of the firing of Paterno, following an alleged child sex-abuse scandal involving the team's former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Some are suggesting Paterno - one of the most successful coaches in college football history - failed to adequately address the matter when he was first made aware of the alleged abuse.
After receiving a flood of angry messages, Kutcher explained his misstep.
