A Washingtonmajor Nationalssports 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 execman not only proudly calls himself a communist and says he pushes left-wing messaging on fans whether they like it or not, but also that they actively steal fans' data to make more profit. Anti-Catholic bias has no place in professional sports, and the MLB needs to answer for letting this slide.

Meanwhile, teams like the Texas Rangers, who continue to openly exclude minorities, installed a statue honoring a lawmanman who blocked Black students from integrating a school — and the MLB wouldn't even put the commissioner on record to address it. Selective outrage over front-office politics ignores far more concrete acts of open institutional bias happening right on the field.
