Summary
During the MLB All-Star game, while Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh Hader was on the mound, people went back and found several tweets that he wrote when he was 17 and 18 years old. They were racist, misogynistic and sexist. But we've already moved on from it. SB Nation's Tyler Tynes joins Peter Ogburn to talk about racism as a "rite of passage" and how quickly we move on when white athletes make a mistake compared to black athletes.
