Playing in the All-Star Game is supposed to be an honor. But for Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader, it turned into an absolute disgrace.

As Hader pitched in the game Tuesday in Washington, D.C., Twitter users retweeted posts from his past that contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments.

According to USA Today , some of the tweets from 2011 and 2012 included:

I hate gay people.

White power lol (with an emoji of a clenched fist).

KKK.

In another post, he mentioned wanting women only for sex, cooking and cleaning, The Washington Post noted. Haders Twitter account has since been locked and the offensive tweets have been deleted, the outlet reported.

I was immature, Hader, 24, said after the game. (Hear his comments in the clip above.)

Theres no excuse for what was said, he added. Im deeply sorry for what Ive said and whats been going on. And like I said, it doesnt reflect any of my beliefs going on now.
