Red Sox pitcher Ryan Brasier “was very apologetic” after retweeting a video from the Hodgetwins labeled “Doc Rivers crying over Jacob Blake” that criticized NBA players and coaches for protesting and skipping games.
Brasier later deleted his retweet, which came just a few hours after the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays postponed their game on Thursday to protest racial injustice. However, he still received some backlash for initially sharing the post from the Hodgetwins – a comedy duo also known as The Conservative Twins.
“What stands out to me is just watching the Republican (National) Convention, and they’re spewing this fear,” Rivers, the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, said in the video the Hodgetwins mocked.
