The Washington Nationals fired its community relations director, Sean Hudson, after the release of a video in which he stated that the baseball team does not use pitcher Trevor Williams on social media because he is a “super Christian-Catholic” who spoke out against “drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns.”
“We were horrified by the comments that were made on the video,” said team business president Jason Sinnarajah. “The comments don’t reflect us as an organization, our values and who we are. We took action right away, and that individual is no longer employed by the team.”
