Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins scolds Anthony Santander for ‘deeply disappointing’ anti-Muslim posts

'There really aren't words to express my level of disappointment with him making those comments'

The National Council of Canadian Muslims recognizes an opportunity to transform a series of negative anti-Muslim videos shared by Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander into a positive. The videos, posted during the U.S. midterm elections, were later deleted. The council's media and communications lead, Steven Zhou, expresses hope that the situation can strengthen the relationship between the team, player, ownership, and the Muslim community.

Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins is set to address the media following a meeting at MLB's GM meetings in Las Vegas.
