White Sox rookie Michael Kopech becomes latest player to apologize for old tweets
Kopech, 22, has apologized for racist, homophobic tweets that were sent in 2013


In the same week that Michael Kopech made his MLB debut, the Chicago White Soxrookie pitcher has found himself in some hot water.

Kopech, 22, has become the latest baseball player to be embroiled in a controversy surrounding some of his old tweets. In the aftermath of his first big league appearance, Kopech has acknowledged (and deleted) a number of inappropriate tweets that contain racist and homophobic language. Those tweets -- some of which can be found here (warning: NSFW language) -- were sent in 2013, when he was 17 years old.

Kopech addressed the tweets and apologized on Thursday afternoon.

"Yeah, I had to delete some stuff," Kopech told the Chicago Sun-Times. "Things I said that were immature and inappropriate. I used some poor language in there. Obviously, I'm trying to be looked at as a role model and the last thing I want to do is have some kid look at what I'm saying and take it the wrong way.

"It's unfortunate that I was ever at that point mentally but it's not who I am now. Yeah, I cleaned some tweets up and tried to get rid of them. But, obviously, people saw them. It's not who I am now and it's not who I want to be. It was something I did in high school, and with everything I've gone through in pro ball the last five seasons I feel like a big part of my career was maturing. Hate to see it but it's not who I am anymore."

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn also addressed the "offensive and inappropriate" tweets, releasing a statement following his apology on Thursday.



Controversial receipts are becoming something of a trend in baseball this season. Kopech joins Trea Turner, Sean Newcomb and Josh Hader in the club of players who have had to answer for their inappropriate history on social media.

Kopech was selected by the Boston Red Sox in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft before becoming part of the 2016 trade that sent Chris Sale to Boston.

You don't get it yet, do you? What is the fucking agenda to dig up 5-year-old tweets from minors? What miserable fucks are going through years and years of tweets? What's the end game.

The end game is black athletes. Test on white players and then come for the NFL/NBA. :eek: 'Such and such used the r-word in a 2011 tweet when they were 15!" :eek:"such and such posted misogynist lyrics in 2012 at 16!" It's coming. Won't stop here.

While I agree to some extent this shit should not go unaddressed. White culture needs to be put on trial as the actions and words of these privileged Caucasian males are simply symptoms of the greater mental disease they cultivate.

It just won't stop there. White women tears will talk male privilege culture. LBGTQ will have their angle. The list goes on.

Also, there has to be some type of expiration date on digging. It's ridiculous. Any texts, tweets, or posts from when a person was a minor should be off limits. This mob-outrage culture is one step away from publicly prosecuting people for what they did in grade school. :smh:

These younger generations of white dudes say nigga now. Most of them katz grew up listening to hip hop, a lot of their younger black friends don't care either.

And to be real honest the n word with the A ending don't bother me, it's when they say the other one ending in ER that gets me because I know their intentions behind it. That being said I don't trip on any brotha saying they have a problem with them using the word period.

This is gospel. "Use at your own risk" is my psa to Caucasiane dudes. and you better be crystal clear on your intent. I don't trip over it but if another brother wants to check a Caucasian for saying it I'm not going to come to his defense: it's the risk they take.

White Sox phenom Michael Kopech likely needs Tommy John surgery and will miss 2019 season

Michael Kopech’s dream season crashed in the doctor’s office on Friday when orthopedic surgeon Nikhil Verma diagnosed the 22-year-old White Sox phenom with a torn ulnar collateral ligament. He is expected to need Tommy John surgery and miss the 2019 season.

Kopech told White Sox officials he felt some tightness trying to get loose in his start against the Tigers on Wednesday. The exam was the worst news possible for an emerging star who had made jaws drop at Triple-A Charlotte and in four starts in the major leagues.
