Brewers lefthanded pitcher Josh Hader responded to racist and homophobic tweets from 2011 and 2012 that resurfaced during the 89th All-Star Game on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old Hader apologized and said his tweets do not reflect his current views: “When you’re a kid, you tweet what’s on your mind,” he said.
He said it happened when it he was 17-years-old and he was "immature," but it's still "inexcusable."
Hader said he found out about the Twitter backlash when he left the game, and someone said he needed to find out what was going on. He said he's ready for any consequences.
