As I expected, the #BlueJays failed to dump hate-monger #AnthonyBass following his anti-LGBT rant online. A week on, he’s still with the team which clearly is fine having this sort of person in their clubhouse and on the field in Toronto, despite the Jays supposed support of the local #LGBT community. I have to wonder if they feared a right-wing backlash to any action they might have taken, as seems to be the state of things these days. #baseball #hate #HumanRights
