ATLANTA -- Left-hander Sean Newcomb apologized to his Atlanta Braves teammates on Monday for a series of offensive tweets he sent as a teenager.

Newcomb's apology was delivered in a meeting attended by players, coaches, manager Brian Snitker and Atlanta staff.

Ender Inciarte and Dansby Swanson said players accepted the apology. Each said tweets made public on Sunday did not represent Newcomb's actions on the team.

His life was literally on the line.

He had no other choice to apologize.

He was facing death threats in Atlanta.

I have contempt for the players that sat in the room and listened to the apology. When are men going to say enough?

sean newcomb must be a halfway decent pitcher. Immature tweets would otherwise be a sure fire way to rid deadweight.

I guarantee the 25% of MLB players who are foreign Hispanics think it’s a big joke.

Now pitching for the “ Atlanta Cowards”.

Glavine, Smoltz and Maddux are crying with shame for their former team’s cowardice.
