A Washington Nationals executive got caught on camera admitting he deliberately excludes pitcher Trevor Williams from team promotions because of Williams' Catholic faith — that's textbook religious discrimination. The same exec proudly calls himself a communist and says he pushes left-wing messaging on fans whether they like it or not. Anti-Catholic bias has no place in professional sports, and MLB needs to answer for letting this slide.
The Nationals have actually gone on record condemning discriminatory rhetoric, banning a fan who unfurled a white nationalist banner at their ballpark. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers installed a statue honoring a lawman who blocked Black students from integrating a school — and MLB wouldn't even put the commissioner on record to address it. Selective outrage over front-office politics ignores far more concrete acts of institutional bias happening right on the field.
