Hader – now a 24-year-old professional athlete – does not believe in the things that he tweeted when he was 16 and 17, he must explain it specifically and completely. He needs to spread his heart and detail his seven-year-old personal transformation from teenage fanatic to tolerant adult.

Because without understanding what changed Hader's point of view, what inspired him to stop being clear hatred in these tweets, an innocuous excuses and some sensitivity training sessions seem to be a little more than an excuse to move on.

It is not out of the possibility that Hader made this trip as an adult. Others have certainly included the former NBA star, Tim Hardaway, Sr., who has gone from homophobic to recognized LGBT rights advocate.

On the contrary, what he tweeted reflects vile and sectarian views that were clearly part of his consciousness at one point in his life. We should have enough open mindedness as a society to believe that Hader no longer holds this view, but only when he is ready to tell us exactly when, how, and why he has exchange.
