During the All-Star Game Tuesday night, old tweets by Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader resurfaced online, causing a stir with fans and even some teammates. After the game, Hader addressed the controversy, apologizing for the “inexcusable” tweets, which he said he posted seven years ago when he was an “immature” 17-year-old.
Hader said he was first told about the resurfaced tweets — which contained homophobic and racist comments, including “I hate gay people” and at least one tweet with the N-word — when he came out of the game Tuesday night. He quickly locked his account and deleted the old posts. He also had a conversation with his teammate Lorenzo Cain, who approached him about the tweets.
