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.

And the festivities of Pride month kick off
Canada is toast,
Is this the guy that was against them before he was for them?................
Were they booing because of his posts or because of his apology?
The people of Toronto are so gay.
Many in that stadium have made their choice. Astounding.
Yahoo News and Blue Jay fans stand behind the alphabet people.
Has to be for the apology. Baseball fans tend to be conservative despite MLB’s efforts to change it.
Probably both. Groveling to leftist vermin is always a mistake. They offer no mercy and you turn off decent people.
The problem with this story is that there absolutely zero indication as to why the crowd was booing him...
- Was it because of his initial sharing of the video?
- Or was it because he did his sort of apology thing?
- Or something else?
Nothing screams Christianity like moral cowardice. Sorry Anthony, you are a coward. Good thing is the early Christians weren’t.
No, the east is toast. What clowns go to games anyways now? Get distracted with bread and circuses while Rome burns? Sports are for the weak of mind and easily manipulated.
Toronto is a big fag town.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…🧐
Now both sides thinks he sucks. Never, ever apologize to these communists. They don't want apologies. They want you dead.
Don't ever be spineless like drew brees and apologize. Mr. Largemouth Bass would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.
how would the writer know the reason? Each individual that booed did it for their own reason.
And the same thing will happen in a majority of US ballparks.
The video clip does not support his story except that the guy holding the camera is booing.
Probably both. I would have booed him for apologizing. Now nobody likes him.
