Blue Jays Outfielder Takes Stand Against El-Sayed With Brutal Posts on Sharia and Islam, But Deletes After Blowback Hits
A player for the Toronto Blue Jays, a Canadian baseball team, is facing public cancellation for telling the truth about the election of Democratic jihadist sympathizer Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan.
In since-deleted videos published to Instagram, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander zeroed in on El-Sayed’s disturbing Muslim beliefs.
“The first video, shared from the account ‘@theamericantruthproject,’ claimed that all Muslims elected to office on Tuesday are radicals who want to impose Sharia law in the U.S. Congress,” according to blogTO, a Canadian digital media site.
“The second video featured a Christian minister who described Islam as ‘violent’ and ‘driven by war,’” blogTO’s report continued. “The minister went on to say that Islam is not peaceful and that there is ‘no such thing as kind Muslims.’”
I’m all for free speech, but this is extremely disgusting and flat out disrespectful stuff shared by Anthony Santander.
Islamophobia is never acceptable, and I hope the @BlueJays take the appropriate action, considering they have some Muslim employees as well. https://t.co/F3VV9cgMLH

The videos weren’t wrong.
A Rasmussen poll conducted just months earlier found that 75 percent of likely U.S. Muslim voters hold a positive view of Sharia law.
That’s not an “Islamophobic” conspiracy theory — it’s a fact. So is El-Sayed’s documented personal “obligation” to abide by Sharia law.
Yet these facts haven’t stopped leftists, including those in the shameless media, from attacking Santander for committing a supposed crime.
“Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander shared Islamophobic posts on his Instagram story Wednesday,” The Athletic, a publication of The New York Times, complained in a supposed report filed Thursday.
USA Today also kvetched about Santander’s supposedly “Islamophobic content.”
So did sports “journalists” like Liam LaChapelle-Yonson.
So Anthony Santander decided to post some racist things to his social media…
In a province with a large muslim population, Islamophobia is not a great look.

The complaints managed to reach the Blue Jays, who responded by distancing themselves from the star player and touting their so-called “inclusion.”
“Baseball is for everyone, and the Blue Jays have created an inclusive experience where all fans feel welcome at our ballpark,” they told The Athletic in a statement. “Individual comments do not represent our organization’s values and beliefs.”
Except the Blue Jays don’t really believe in inclusion, because if they did, they’d include those who speak the truth about Islam, not to mention “transgender” madness.

The team has a history of punishing players — including former relief pitcher Anthony Bass and former outfielder Kevin Pillar — for making “anti-LGBTQ+ remarks.”
In Bass’s case, all he did was share a video to social media that called for Christians to boycott Target and Bud Light over their “transgender” advocacy. For that, he was outright fired.
Let’s be real here, folks. The Blue Jays don’t believe in inclusion. Neither do The New York Times, USA Today, or anybody else complaining about Santander’s completely justified social media posts.
What the Blue Jays care about is fitting into mainstream culture — a culture that’s been wrecked and degraded by rising degeneracy, heathenism, and ignorance.
There was once a time when you could tell the truth about virtually anything, including Islam, without facing public attacks and cancellation. But thanks to the rise of the radical left, it appears those days are no more.
