<p>Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass apologized on Tuesday for sharing a post on social media encouraging Christians to boycott companies and brands such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Target</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/bud-light" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bud Light</a> for how they have embraced the LGBTQ community.</p>
<p>The Blue Jays posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/BlueJays/status/1663638939876356096?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">short video of Bass</a> on Twitter addressing reporters with a brief statement expressing remorse for boosting the visibility of a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cspq-sJAS9I/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video on Instagram</a> making a biblical case against spending money to support businesses that are pushing people, particularly children, to &#8220;darkness.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I recognize yesterday I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine. And I am truly sorry for that,&#8221; Bass said.</p>

<p>&#8220;I just spoke with my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday. I apologized with [sic] them, and as of right now I am using the Blue Jays&#8217; resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The ballpark is for everybody. We include all fans at the ballpark. We want to welcome everybody. That&#8217;s all I have to say.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bud Light faced controversy due to its partnership with self-identified transgender social media influencer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dylan-mulvaney" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dylan Mulvaney</a>, leading to calls for a boycott against the beer brand and <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/bud-light-sales-decline-dylan-mulvaney-boycott-latest-1803292" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a drop in sales this year</a>. A similar display of outrage aimed at Target <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/target-loses-10-billion-in-just-ten-days-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plummeted market value</a> over the retailer&#8217;s <a href="https://corporate.target.com/press/releases/2023/05/Target-Statement-on-2023-Pride-Collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;Pride&#8221; collection</a>.</p>
<p>The Blue Jays issued a statement voicing support for the LGBTQ community.</p>

<p>“The Blue Jays bring millions of fans together across Canada and are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience for all,&#8221; the Blue Jays said in a statement. “The Blue Jays are proud to celebrate LGBTQ2S+ Pride Month, including a special fourth annual Pride Weekend at the ballpark June 9 and 10, and demonstrations of allyship all month long around the ballpark. Individual player sentiments are not representative of the club’s beliefs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Toronto manager John Schneider indicated he believes there needs to be more than just an apology from Bass.</p>
<p>&#8220;We’re not going to pretend like this never happened,&#8221; Schneider said, <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/blue-jays-pitcher-anthony-bass-issues-apology" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to MLB.com</a>. &#8220;We’re not going to pretend like it’s the end and move on. There are definitely more steps that are going to follow.&#8221;</p>
