We all say and do dumb things as kids, and our interests and beliefs change drastically from the time we’re a teenager — even a teenager about to enter college — to our mid-to-late 20’s. But Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader is being punished now for things he tweeted as a teenager seven years ago.
Hader, now 24, was pitching in the All-Star Game Tuesday night when tweets he sent as a 17-year-old resurfaced and flooded the internet. His tweets contained homophobic and racist comments. The Daily Wire previously reported one message said “I hate gay people” and at least one other contained the N-word. When Hader left the game, he was told the old tweets had been found and he quickly deleted them and locked his Twitter account. He then apologized.
