Netzer last played (though not very well) in 2019 for Portland (AA). The 2020 minor league season was canceled and Netzer spent the 2021 entire season on the restricted list.
Netzer started off last night claiming it's unnatural for human beings to have dogs and cats as pets ("more time should be spent on pursuing truth"). I suppose that's an interesting take, though it's in stark contrast to about 30,000 years of history.
After that, triggered by ???, Netzer (who identifies as a racist) shifted to a few pointed comments about Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom – and Jews in general . . . and transgender people . . . and blacks.
Someone noted that Netzer posted "posting screenshots of his tweets [on Instagram] saying 'release me'". The Red Sox obliged him . . . but he didn't seem very thankful.
An epigraph on his Twitter page reads: "Difference of opinion is where education is found." The irony is presumably unintentional.

Fine! Be a homophobe, hate Jews, hate races other than the alabaster ones--but leave the dogs and cats alone, dammit!

You have to wonder if there is an underlying, undiagnosed mental health condition. I'm not excusing the language he used, and I would release him, too; that said, to suddenly start randomly hating on everyone while also asking for your release from the organization seems like unhinged behavior that warrants a wellness check.
(I know nothing about him -- he may, in fact, be a racist -- but has he exhibited this behavior in the past?)
