<p>A hometown crowd erupted in boos when Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass walked onto the field on Wednesday — his first appearance since he commented on the Bud Light and Target boycotts and then, a short time later, apologized for doing so.</p>
<p>Several separate waves of boos could be heard in a video clip shared by The Toronto Star&#8217;s baseball columnist Mike Wilner.</p>

<p>Bass first stirred controversy when he shared an Instagram video from creator Ryan Miller — who called on Christians to boycott Target over clothing catering to trans-identifying children and Bud Light over its partnership with trans-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney.</p>
<p>The Major League pitcher racked up a second round of criticisms when he offered an apology, saying in part, &#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. I am truly sorry for that. As of right now, I am using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate myself to make better decisions moving forward.&#8221;</p>

<p>Critics attacked Bass for apologizing, noting that he professed to be a Christian and arguing that his apology amounted to a compromise of his beliefs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Looks like a hostage video. Congrats on getting a Christian scalp, Blue Jays,&#8221; one person <a href="https://twitter.com/fugitivemama/status/1663652055838498816" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> in response.</p>

<p>&#8220;How shameful you force him to make this idiotic statement and apologize for his beliefs,&#8221; Tom Elliott added.</p>

<p>&#8220;Humiliating. What type of employer would force their employee to do something like this?&#8221; Terry Schilling <a href="https://twitter.com/Schilling1776/status/1663663214758879234" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>. &#8220;It’s truly enraging. And all around the sport of baseball. Woke ruins everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>It was unclear from the video taken of Bass at Wednesday&#8217;s game whether the crowd was booing because he had shared a video supporting the boycotts or because he later gave in to the calls to apologize for it.</p>
