Akers off Twitter after death threat

49ers kicker David Akers re-tweeted a death threat he received before disabling his account.

According to the Sacramento Bee, Akers sent out the following Tweet: RT @RIP_FreeLaddin YOU F----OT IF YOU MISS ONE MORE FIELD GOAL YOU ABOUT TO GET YOUR ENTIRE LIFE ENDED.

Akers' account, @DavidAkers2, was disabled not long after.
