After all hell broke loose on Twitter, Hodge had to issue a clarification.
"Funny, I never did say there was nothing wrong with it. I would do the same," he wrote.

Hodge followed it up with a similar tweet.
"Amazing how brutal people are in response. So negative and glass half full. I was not speaking in a negative tone. I would do the same if asked and paid."
