Blue Jays' Santander apologizes for sharing anti-Muslim posts
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander issued a public apology on Friday regarding social media activity from early November that contained disparaging remarks about the Muslim community. The 32-year-old athlete, who sat out the 2026 season due to injury, acknowledged that his actions were inconsistent with his personal values and expressed regret for the harm caused.
The statement followed a meeting between team leadership and community representatives, as well as a request from management for the player to address the situation. Team president Mark Shapiro also offered an apology to the public on behalf of the organization, while the status of any potential disciplinary measures remains unconfirmed.
