Juno News - Blue Jays player CANCELLED for being Christian

It s an unwritten but very well established rule in professional sports today that athletes aren t allowed to hold their own opinions unless they re advocating for far-left political causes in organizations like Black Lives Matter or advocating for radical gender ideology. After all, the teams these athletes are employed to have no problem forcing their politics on every single fan. Not taking the knee and choosing to not wear a rainbow jersey? That s the kind of stuff that gets you in trouble these days with the far left media mob. But there s actually something even worse in the eyes of the Canadian legacy media... now that would be publicly displaying your Christian faith and sharing videos of someone quoting the Bible.

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.99

00:02:19.440 of any attention at all. Here's the reason biblically why I believe Christians ought to 0.99

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 0.79

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 0.88

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.92

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
