The Left’s influence on sports has created an environment in which the words and actions of many people are twisted to make them seem racist. However, there was no need for any narrative-spinning on Saturday, when an MLB prospect went on Twitter rampage that objectively was racist. 

Brett Netzer, a minor leaguer in the Boston Red Sox’s farm system who has not played since 2019, decided on a random whim to unleash an avalanche of racist and distasteful comments on Twitter that ultimately led to his release byt the organization. Even though he claims to be Jewish, he attacked Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom for being a hypocritical Jew, Christians, African Americas, and pretty much any other demographic you can think of.

Netzer has since deleted his account, but below is the text for a small sample of all the bizarre and disgusting thoughts that Netzer thought he had to share with the world - poor capitalization and all.

i am a racist. i do sometimes make assumptions based on a persons race/ethnicity/culture. glad that is out of the way

i am a million times more anti-christian than anti-anything else. the only bigger fraud than chaim bloom is jesus himself. 

if chaim bloom is jewish, he holds all of the same views about the lgbtq community being the definition of sodomy.

Despite the fact that we live in a world where people have to suffer unnecessary consequences when their words get twisted, this is not one of those cases. Netzer, for whatever reason, behaved in a way that blatantly crossed the line of behavioral expectations for a professional athlete, and deserved everything that came his way. You cannot expect to demean several people groups, and the guy in charge of the major league team you are affiliated with, and think that you will get away with a slap on the wrist.
