A Toronto Jays pitcher seemingly offered support for the Bud Light and Target boycotts, and a "journalist" immediately demanded he be fired.
Weird how these "journalists" speak, think, and act exactly like leftwing activists.
On Tuesday, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass was forced by the team to apologize for posting a video featuring a Biblical reason to boycott Target and Bud Light. Now, a columnist from the Toronto Star is saying an apology is not enough and is demanding that the team cut the player for daring to be a Christian in baseball.
Bass shared the video on Monday to his Instagram account from Christian activist Ryan Miller who cited the Bible's Ephesians Chap. 5 as the basis to boycott Target and Bud Light for forcing the radical LGBTQ agenda on its customers.
In the video, Miller accused companies such as Target of pushing "evil" into the faces of children and cited the Bible passage warning to "take no part" in evil by shopping at Target or buying Bud Light or products from similar corporations currently pushing the extreme LGBTQ agenda.
But after Bass shared the video, he was accused of sharing "hate speech," and on Tuesday, he was forced by team management to come out and make a big apology in front of the sports media.
Despite Bass' apology, though, Toronto Star columnist Gregor Chisholm said it wasn't enough as he turned out to be the one disgorging the most hate in this whole sad saga.
After several paragraphs describing the situation over the video and apology, Chisholm went on the attack against Bass, insisting he is not worth keeping on the team and noted how shocked he was that the team was keeping the pitcher instead of announcing he was being cut on Tuesday.
The pitcher was compelled to make a Forced Public Confession. He said he was now using Toronto Blue Jays' "resources" to "educate [him]self."
This is Major League Baseball, which fans keep telling me is not infected with the woke fascism that other sports leagues are.
Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen has publicly told his team to quit the LGBTQ propaganda after it invited the anti-Catholic drag queen group "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" to its Pride Night.
In a public statement, Treinen said the drag queen group engages in "blasphemous" performances and "displays hate and mockery of Catholics and the Christian faith."
"I understand that playing baseball is a privilege and not a right. My convictions in Jesus Christ will always come first. Since I have been with the Dodgers, they have been at the forefront of supporting a wide variety of groups," he said.
"However, inviting the Sister's of Perpetual Indulgence to perform disenfranchises a large community and promotes hate of Christians and people of faith," he added. "This single event alienates the fans and supporters of the Dodgers, Major League Baseball, and professional sports."

Treinen further added that people turn to sports like baseball for "entertainment value and competition."
"The fans do not want propaganda or politics forced on them. The debacle with Bud Light and Target should be a warning to companies and professional sports to stay true to their brand and leave the propaganda and politics off the field," he asserted.
Treinen then quoted the Bible, particularly Galatians 6:7, which says that "God cannot be mocked" and "a man reaps what he sows."
"This group openly mocks Jesus Christ, the cornerstone of my faith, and I want to make it clear that I do not agree with nor support the decision of the Dodgers to 'honor' the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," he concluded.
Another pitcher also objected, and asked the Dodgers to at least announce a "Christian Faith and Family Night." So yes, that Fake and Insincere Act was done only to mollify people who complained of having their God mocked.
Do Mohammad next, Dodgers.
