The Red Sox released minor leaguer Brett Netzer after he confirmed he had posted a series of racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic tweets on Friday night and Saturday morning.
Netzer last played (though not very well) in 2019 for Portland (AA). The 2020 minor league season was canceled and Netzer spent the 2021 entire season on the restricted list.
Netzer started off last night claiming it's unnatural for human beings to have dogs and cats as pets ("more time should be spent on pursuing truth"). I suppose that's an interesting take, though it's in stark contrast to about 30,000 years of history.
