Anthony Bass set off a firestorm after sharing an anti-LGBTQ video this week, and Blue Jays fans let him have it during his first action since.
Blue Jays relief pitcher Anthony Bass made his first appearance at Toronto's Rogers Centre since he set off a firestorm after sharing a video promoting anti-LGBTQ boycotts of companies like Target and Bud Light. The crowd, to put it lightly, was not all that fond of seeing the Jays reliever as he ran out of the pen toward the mound.
Showering Bass with boos and jeers for essentially the whole half-inning he was out there, a large chunk of fans let the 35-year-old hurler know exactly how they felt about all that's transpired over the past few days.
Game operations tried their best to drown out the tense reception (which was even noticeable on the television broadcast) with music for the near sell-out crowd inside the stadium, but their efforts did little to hide fans' displeasure.

Is he the one whose wife complained because airline wanted her to clean up her child’s mess?
Two countries divided by a common language, eh?
Booooo! Eh?
That’s my question. Kershaw hasn’t received anything like this.
Thats what I was wondering. My guess is his original sentiments - apologizing does nothing to calm the lunatics down. Just make him look weak and obedient.
Can’taduh deserves the son of Fidel as their PM.
oh i get it
the toronto blue gays
Don’t you just love how baseball has f’d up baseball?
All MLB had to do was focus on playing the damned game. No days honoring anyone, unless the honorees have something to do with baseball. Just play the damned game.
The same entitled guy who wouldn’t clean up his kid’s popcorn mess. Maybe he should stay off social media.
So, a lotta faggot fans in Toronto, eh?
+++++++++++
Kershaw is the Dodgers best pitcher. The team (dodgers) is spineless and doesn't want to dis him. Plus Kershaw clearly has a backbone and stands behind his belief.
Largemouth (Anthony) Bass in Toronto is expendable as a reliever and for some "woke" reason the bluejays are making him apologize and grovel.
I think the majority of the people pissed at Bass are pissed because he apologized.
Canada has fallen. Brainwashed Sheeple.
Why is FR posting repeated postings over and over? Can someone explain?
Who is even watching Blue Gay’s games (or any sportsball games) anyway?
Did they boo him because he is a Christian or did they boo him because he walked back his statement?
“boos and jeers for essentially the whole half-inning.” Losers think they will feel better when they cause pain to an innocent person. Nothing new under the sun. Let’s see if Dodger fans boo and jeer Kershaw.
My bet is on the fans booing his pathetic apology.
