00:00:00.000 It's an unwritten but very well established rule in professional sports today that athletes
00:00:11.920 aren't allowed to hold their own opinions. Unless, however, those opinions include advocating for
00:00:16.640 far-left political causes in organizations like Black Lives Matter or advocating for radical
00:00:21.760 gender ideology. After all, the teams these athletes are employed to have no problem forcing
00:00:26.280 their politics on every single fan. Not taking the knee and choosing to not wear a rainbow jersey,
00:00:31.680 that's the kind of stuff that really gets you in trouble these days with the far-left media mob.
00:00:35.640 But there's actually something even worse in the eyes of the Canadian legacy media, it appears.
00:00:39.920 Now, that would be publicly displaying your Christian faith and sharing videos of someone
00:00:43.920 quoting the Bible. Now, Blue Jay's pitcher Anthony Bass has had to learn that lesson the hard way. He
00:00:48.540 has become the victim of what can only be described as a swarm attack by the progressive media in
00:00:54.020 Canada. You see, Bass dared to share a video on Instagram of a Christian influencer quoting
00:01:00.140 scripture as a reason for Christians to boycott brands like Bud Light and Target. Apparently,
00:01:05.820 Bass is guilty of sharing, quote, anti-LGBTQ propaganda, and now fans are calling for the
00:01:12.380 Blue Jays to release Bass, to cut him from the team. But we all know the truth behind this, right?
00:01:17.540 The reality is, the left is in full-on panic mode because the boycotts of brands like Bud Light
00:01:22.020 and Target are proving to be way more successful than they first thought. And the left is now
00:01:26.640 attacking anyone with a public profile who is advocating for these boycotts. Drop a like in
00:01:32.120 the video, help us out by subscribing to the True North YouTube channel. And the comment question for
00:01:35.660 the episode is this, is it time for Canadians to also engage in these brand boycotts? Let me know in
00:01:41.460 the comments and let's get into it. Well, it's almost June and you know what that means. The Rainbow Mafia
00:01:46.220 are out in full force, demanding that every single Canadian bows down to their political ideology.
00:01:52.220 Dissent on any level will not be tolerated. Now, reading the legacy media headlines about Anthony
00:01:57.100 Bass's social media post, not even that, an Instagram story, which goes away after 24 hours,
00:02:03.220 you might think that he's calling for something really evil, really scary. But before we get into
00:02:07.700 that, let's first look at this so-called crime that Anthony Bass committed, this so-called
00:02:12.180 anti-LGBTQ propaganda that Anthony Bass shared on Instagram to see if really anything here is worthy
00:02:19.440 of any attention at all. Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians ought to
00:02:24.080 be boycotting Target and Bud Light and any other corporation that's pushing the things they're
00:02:28.460 pushing. I think a lot of people make this into a political issue or they say, oh, what's the big
00:02:32.980 deal? If, you know, is it really going to make that big of a difference if I'm shopping there or not
00:02:36.920 shopping there? Here's what the Bible says. It tells us what to do as Christians in Ephesians chapter 5.
00:02:42.180 It says this, take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them for
00:02:49.960 it is shameful to even talk of the things that they do in secret. So what does that mean to take
00:02:54.560 no part? Well, what's Target do? It's a business. They make money. They sell things. And to take part
00:03:01.140 in that is to take part in that God of Mammon that they're serving and to take part in the darkness
00:03:05.760 that they're purveying and getting out to the world and shoving into children's faces. And to take part
00:03:11.800 in that is to give them your money. And I believe the Bible gives us radical precedent to say, no,
00:03:17.540 we are running from that. And to instead expose those things, to shout it to all the people that
00:03:25.300 have ears to hear that this is evil. This is demonic. We won't stand for it. We're not going
00:03:31.000 to go to the stores anymore and we're not going to give them our money. We're going to let our voice
00:03:34.960 be heard so that people can see the light and so that people can be pulled out of the darkness.
00:03:41.700 Wait, that's it? That's all that this guy said? So he's reading the Bible, telling Christians not
00:03:48.040 to participate in giving your money to a certain brand. And that is apparently so dangerous that
00:03:54.360 the entire Canadian legacy media must come down full force on this picture for daring to share that
00:04:01.500 video. I mean, just take a look at these headlines. This is from BlogTO. Controversial Toronto Blue
00:04:07.860 Jays player is promoting anti-LGBTQ propaganda. BlogTO themselves follow that up later with another
00:04:15.340 article saying calls grow for Toronto Blue Jays to ditch Anthony Bass for promoting LGBTQ hate.
00:04:22.240 That was, that was apparently LGBTQ hate. Although I'm pretty sure if you rewatch that video that we
00:04:28.800 just watched, he makes no mention of LGBTQ people at all. He's talking about Target. He's talking
00:04:35.180 about the brands engaging in what Christians obviously view as anti-Christian behavior. But
00:04:41.940 athletes aren't allowed to do that in Canada anymore. They're not allowed to use their faith
00:04:45.560 as a reason to not participate in what they view as anti-Christian activities from these sporting
00:04:51.520 teams. But I wanted to share this article from Sportsnet owned by Rogers, the same company that owns
00:04:57.120 the Toronto Blue Jays. Blue Jays pitcher Bass's social media account shares anti-2SLGBTQ plus
00:05:04.820 boycott video. And to go even further, Rogers put some sort of trigger warning on an article about
00:05:10.880 their own employee. Support for 2SLGBTQ plus community, it reads, you deserve a world filled with love
00:05:19.040 instead of bias. And when it's hard, you're not alone. Resources, education, and support for gender and
00:05:24.980 sexual identity challenges can be found through PFLAG Canada. If you or someone you know is in need of
00:05:31.260 immediate help and you don't feel comfortable contracting emergency services, crisis hotline
00:05:36.560 numbers can be found here. So Rogers has written a hate article about their own employee sharing a
00:05:42.540 video on social media and then slapped a trigger warning for the 2SLGBTQ plus community underneath that
00:05:50.380 article. Now these headlines from the Canadian legacy media are in every single outlet. City News,
00:05:56.000 CBC, everybody is talking about this. Everybody is piling on to Anthony Bass for daring to share that
00:06:01.900 obviously non-controversial video. Now despite BlogTO saying that there are calls growing for Anthony
00:06:08.320 Bass to be dropped by the Toronto Blue Jays, the BlogTO article only sources about four tweets from
00:06:14.320 people calling for Anthony Bass to be released. And in their entire article, they could only find one tweet
00:06:19.380 that got over 30 likes. Wow, those are some serious calls there. Consumers across the United States
00:06:24.860 have been engaged in two very successful and impactful brand boycotts over the past few months.
00:06:30.300 The first being a boycott on Bud Light, which was started after the company engaged transgender
00:06:35.220 influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light as a beer that stands with the 2SLGBT whatever community.
00:06:44.120 2SLGBTQI plus. The Anheuser-Busch stock price took a nosedive and has not recovered since. And if you go
00:06:51.240 to any retailer, well even here in Canada, Bud Light just isn't being purchased anywhere. The second brand
00:06:57.780 boycott is of course Target, the major American retailer who over the past 10 days have taken a
00:07:03.520 market value hit of over 10 billion dollars. Take a look at this article from the New York Post.
00:07:09.060 Target, which has been caught in the middle of America's culture wars over gender, moved its
00:07:13.720 pride section in some southern stores away from the front last week after it said displays were
00:07:18.380 knocked over by protesters who also confronted workers. The retailer also said it would remove
00:07:23.840 items from the collection but did not specify which ones. Among the ones that garnered the most
00:07:29.340 attention were, quote, tuck-friendly women's swimsuits that allow trans women, men, who have
00:07:36.600 not had gender-affirming operations to conceal their genitalia, as well as rainbow-themed children's
00:07:42.880 clothing. So Target's pride collection includes children's clothing with pride sloganeering, as well
00:07:50.240 as women's clothing that are, quote, tuck-friendly. But apparently if you're a Toronto Blue Jays player,
00:07:55.760 you're not allowed to support the brand boycotts over these disgusting displays from these companies.
00:08:01.260 Just look at some of the clothing that Target is selling to kids. It's absurd. So let me try and get
00:08:06.100 this straight. Blue Jays players, according to the company that owns the Blue Jays, aren't allowed to
00:08:11.880 voice their own political opinions on this issue. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays themselves will be hosting
00:08:17.280 what they call Pride Weekend next week. During this Pride Weekend at the Rogers Center, there will be
00:08:23.180 rainbow bunting across the entire stadium. There's going to be a rainbow flag with the slogan,
00:08:29.280 love is love, at home plate. There are going to be drag queen displays all over the stadium.
00:08:34.640 And every single fan who goes to the game will be given a Blue Jays jersey with a Pride Progress flag
00:08:40.540 attached to the back, a cape on the back of the jersey. The fans will literally be wearing the Pride
00:08:46.140 flag on their back. But conservative Christian athletes aren't allowed to say anything about it.
00:08:52.180 Now this all follows a very bizarre and disturbing trend in sports. It's not just baseball, it's also
00:08:57.620 with hockey too. A few months ago, you might recall the controversy where several NHL players told their
00:09:02.740 NHL teams that they would not be comfortable wearing the Pride warm-up jerseys before the games.
00:09:08.000 Remember when Canadian television personality Sid Sixero had a meltdown on live TV over Ivan Provorov
00:09:13.980 not wanting to wear the rainbow? Oh, by the way, this guy also happens to be an employee of Rogers.
00:09:19.340 Nothing scares me more than any human being who says, I'm not doing this because of my religious
00:09:23.940 beliefs. Because when you looked at people's lives, you normally say that publicly, you'd throw up at
00:09:28.500 what you saw. You would throw up at what you saw. And I have seen that a million times in a lot of
00:09:34.560 different ways. So don't, don't give me that with respect. Don't give me that because no one's perfect.
00:09:40.160 All right. Don't tell me, don't, don't feed me the religious beliefs line. And all of a sudden the NHL is
00:09:44.800 going to back off this. The National Hockey League today needs to find that organization a million
00:09:50.840 dollars and reevaluate how they support gay rights. Because, because that is insulting. That is the
00:09:55.720 number one trending topic in Canada. That is insulting what happened in Philadelphia. And if the NHL is
00:09:59.860 serious about this, they say they are. We'll see. We'll see how serious they are today. But that whole
00:10:06.140 thing was mishandled. And I, part of me couldn't believe it. Part of me could, considering how the
00:10:10.720 NHL sometimes handles things. Ivan Provorov, the Philadelphia Flyers player that first started this
00:10:16.160 movement to stop wearing the pride jersey, his jerseys were flying off the shelves. And eventually
00:10:21.880 the NHL had to stop the initiative altogether because players were finally fed up with it. What
00:10:27.660 this tells me is that athletes on the whole don't believe the nonsense that the teams they play for
00:10:31.660 are pushing on the fans. Now, my prediction is that Anthony Bass Blue Jays jerseys will be
00:10:36.020 flying off the shelves as well. If not for anything else, just to send a message to Rogers, to the
00:10:42.320 Canadian legacy media, that they are not on the side of the population here. Now, my message to
00:10:46.620 Anthony Bass is to ignore the Canadian legacy media. Ignore the Toronto media elite. The reality is
00:10:53.160 the majority of Canadians stand with Anthony Bass. The majority of Canadians don't believe in forcing
00:10:58.680 transgender ideology onto every single person wherever they go. And actually, it's quite refreshing to see
00:11:04.520 athletes speak up for once and display their faith without fear. All right, that's going to do it for us
00:11:09.780 today on the show. Thank you so much for tuning in. My name is Harrison Faulkner, and this is Radio.
