Major League Baseball will require Milwaukee Brewers reliever Josh Hader to complete sensitivity training and participate in the league’s diversity and inclusion initiatives after offensive tweets he sent in 2011 and 2012 surfaced Tuesday night as he pitched in the All-Star Game at Nationals Park.
In a news release, MLB called Hader’s past tweets “unacceptable” and said it had contacted the Brewers to express its concerns. Brewers general manager David Stearns called Hader’s tweets “inexcusable” in a statement and said the Brewers “do not believe that these posts are representative of his beliefs.” Neither the league nor the Brewers indicated Hader would face punishment.
