Just ran through his Twitter account. The kid is seriously deranged. Wow. Good riddance. I hope he can find a real job somewhere because his baseball career whatever it was is over. Fuck him.

No idea who he is but it’s very odd. He hasn’t tweeted until the past day or so in over a year and everything before then appears normal. I wonder if he has issues and is perhaps off his medication?

Scrolling through those tweets, it is hard not to wonder about the state of his mental health.

Netzer was a mildly interesting draft prospect. His hit skill was pretty solid and it seemed like he had a good understanding of what he was trying to do at the plate.

He lacked athleticism and power, though, so a solid hit skill and good approach were never going to cut it.

If this is a mental health issue, it's very sad. If instead, this is just a jerk, who said "to hell with the consequences," all it means is that he'll be transitioning his shitty views to another venue. If he stuck to baseball, he was likely going to end up following the track of similarly skilled (though by all accounts, good guy, Josh Tobias) and become a scout.

I just randomly checked his twitter and he posted a youtube video from his account and the first 9ish minutes are about religion then he says he raped a woman and he gives her name. Im not posting a link as its right off his twitter page.

I wish i could unwatch it, mods feel free to delete this post to save others, this guy has bigger issues than we thought

That whole thing was a train wreck. Wow.

Not sure what the statutes are here but he just opened himself up to criminal charges i think?

Not linking it either.

That dude is seriously, seriously fucked up, and dumb. There are people that should simply not get involved in religion, because the rabbit hole is too enticing. That's all I've got on that portion of it.

As to the rape stuff, the first (and only) response to the video on his twitter page is literally a dude tagging the UNC Police Dept and saying "hey, watch this." Probably won't take long to find out what's true and what isn't, especially if the victim comes forward.

Are mental health issues really an excuse to be a bigot?

He's clearly not well but Curt Schilling isn't well either. Fuck both of them.

Lying about raping someone would be the worlds worst twist. I knew a guy once that would lie about anything. He always had to one-up someone else's story. When he was 17 he shot a guy breaking bad style out in a field because his dad has a huge gambling debt with the mob, in all places of Fargo, ND. He also was going to get alot of money because he can join the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe because he is 1/4 indian. He tried out for the Minnesota VIkings, but had to turn them down because of joining said tribe. So yea, I can see it being possible.
But, yea - this guy wants to start his own religion. Thats why he thinks if he makes this YUGE admission of sin, others will join him in his obviously correct view of religion.
