Blue Jays' Bass apologizes for sharing anti-LGBTQ+ social media post

TORONTO (AP) Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass apologized Tuesday for expressing support on social media for anti-LGBTQ+ boycotts of Target and Bud Light.

Bass shared a post on his Instagram stories Monday urging others to spurn the American companies over support they showed for the LGBTQ+ community. Both companies are dealing with fallout from those campaigns, which have included hostile and homophobic criticisms and calls from LGBTQ+ activists not to cave to anti-LGBTQ+ groups.

The right-handed reliever made a brief statement on the field but did not take questions before the Blue Jays hosted Milwaukee.
