00:00What happens when a 92 million dollar Major League Baseball star posts inflammatory political
00:10and religious content on Instagram, and then goes completely silent for more than a week
00:16while his own front office publicly condemns him?
00:20The exact firestorm has engulfed Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander and after
00:29days of mounting pressure from fans, community leaders and team executive Santander has finally
00:36broken his silence with a brand new apology statement on his Instagram page.
00:41To understand why Santander's Friday Instagram apology is making headlines across the baseball
00:48world, you have to look back at what appeared on his account on November 4, 2026, right after
00:58the U.S. midterm elections.
01:01Santander shared a series of posts to his Instagram platform including a video of a Christian preacher
01:09disparaging Muslims.
01:11That's all for today's video.
01:13Thanks for watching and goodbye.
01:14Bye.
01:14Bye.
01:14Bye.
01:15Bye.
