Antisemitic reactions to the Ryan Braun suspension on Twitter

Ryan Braun, outfielder for the Milwaukee Brewers, is out for the rest of the 2013 season for use of performance-enhancing drugs. The Huffington Post reported that Braun apologized to fans saying: “As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes.”

 

Braun’s apology wasn’t good enough for some ‘fans’ who took to twitter to tweet their dissatisfaction.

 

Unfortunately, some of the tweets have taken on a distinctly antisemitic tone in their response to Braun whose gained the fond nick name The Hebrew Hammer as his father is Jewish and mother is Catholic.

 

Of course, his religious and ethnic background have nothing to do with anything but haters like these aren’t really known for thinking.

 

Here are the most overtly antisemitic tweets:
