Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader gave up a three-run home run in the All-Star Game, but that was the least of his worries Tuesday night, when old tweets exposed the left-handed pitcher as a racist and homophobic.
As Tuesday night's exhibition game went into extra innings, Hader had his Twitter account set to private after old tweets were dug up.
Sure, some of the tweets are just childish and fall into the category of, boy those are pretty embarrassing and you should probably delete those, while other ones where Hader feels really comfortable tossing out the N-word and expressing his hatred for gay people falls into the category of simply being a hateful piece of shit person. Most of these tweets came when Hader was 17-years-old, and it really doesn't matter that they were seven years ago. At the age you know the difference between what's right and wrong, so don't give me the bullshit that he was just a kid in high school. He was in high school and Josh Hader was a piece of shit person then and most likely feels the same today.
Also, from his girlfriend.
Lovely. By the way, the whole, "I use gay to mean dumb/stupid" excuse doesn't really fly either and you know what I bet a lot of people used to do that including myself when I was younger. Still doesn't make it any less wrong. Ignorant then and ignorant now. So, this...
Also bad. All you can hope for is that people evolve and aren't still being ignorant. And that goes for Hader too. He apologized Tuesday night saying he was immature and stupid and I hope he really did learn from it.
