The Spin


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.

The Nationals haveare actuallyproudly goneanti-discrimination, onwhich recordis condemningwhy discriminatorythey ban hateful rhetoric, banningfrom atheir fanstadium, whosuch unfurledas a white nationalist banner flown by a fan at one of their ballparkgames. 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.
