The Blue Jays are in clean-up mode after outfielder Anthony Santander made a series of Islamophobic comments in the wake of this month’s U.S. elections, extending what has been a particularly difficult year for the MLB franchise.
Following the election that included Abdul El-Sayed prevailing in Michigan and becoming the first Muslim to win a U.S. Senate seat, Santander posted on Instagram that “America voted for Sharia” and “Islam is not peaceful.” Those posts, since taken down, prompted a series of responses from the club, though Santander himself has not addressed the matter publicly.
