New York Yankees' Nestor Cortes shut down his Twitter account after people shared screenshots of him using racial slurs, specifically the "N-word" ten years ago or so when he was 17-18 years old. Nestor apologized and said he didn't mean what he said back then and is issuing a mea culpa.
It's unacceptable. I could have managed myself better and said stuff differently. Those aren't the messages I want to send out. I deleted my Twitter to clean stuff up. Hopefully, I can make a better impact in the world for the people that look up to me to give a better example.
