Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass under fire over post on anti-LGBTQ boycotts

A pitcher with the Toronto Blue Jays is drawing heat after he shared a video endorsing an anti-LGBTQ boycott of brands such as Target and Bud Light.

On Monday, Anthony Bass, a relief pitcher with the Jays, shared an Instagram reel from the account dudewithgoodnews that called on Christians to avoid these brands.

The original clip says, "Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians have gotta be boycotting Target, Bud Light, and any other corporation that's pushing the things they're pushing. I think a lot of people make this into a political issue, or they say, 'Oh, what's the big deal?'"

The clip later says: "This is evil, this is demonic, we won't stand for it, we're not going to go to the stores anymore and we're not going to give you our money."

In the wake of the controversy surrounding Anthony Bass, some people suggested on social media that the Blue Jays trade him, release him or designate him for assignment.
