At least he is honest about it instead of trying to cower his way out of it

He went from living his dream to be a major league baseball player to being a construction guy. It was a joke. But also true. What do you think this guy will do now that he no longer plays baseball? It will certainly be blue collar work.

Yes, most professional athletes are not well educated.

Rather mild compared to someone like Nick Cannon who is black.
BTW according to the OPs article I don't see any anti Jewish stuff.


In a series of tweets on Friday and Saturday, Netzer attacked the team’s Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom, calling him a “bad actor” and a “fraud,” while targeting his Jewish identity.

The team confirmed to the Boston Globe the posts were his and not a hack.

In one tweet Saturday, he took aim at Bloom for supporting Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community.

In his posts, Netzer targeted transgender people. In another, he said Black people should "go back to their roots and start to re-establish their true black culture."

In another tweet, he wrote: “I am a racist. I do sometimes make assumptions based on a persons race/ethnicity/culture. Glad that is out of the way.”

If he was Black and said the same thing he would still be in baseball.

I thought you blacks wanted Black Nationalism or something like that. YT baseball agreed with you. So what's the problem?

It’s true. If they went to college to g9 pro, they usually get a communications degree and the teachers pass them easy.

We’re talking football and basketball, not wrestling.
