Anthony Bass has been demoted from the Toronto Blue Jays roster after standing by his personal beliefs on anti-LGBTQ+.
The pitcher apologised after sharing a video to his Instagram story which called for people to boycott both Target and Bud Light due to their recent backing of LGBTQ+ Pride campaigns. Bass apologised for upsetting fans and deleted the post from his social media, but continued to stand by his views.
The Jays face Minnesota Twins on Friday to begin a triple-header against the MLB team, but Bass has been removed from the roster from the first game. Bass was also scheduled to catch a ceremonial first pitch on Friday night to begin Pride celebrations, but whether it'll continue to go ahead is unknown.
