Social media controversies

[edit]

On April 17, 2023, Bass sparked debate and criticism after he made a post on Twitter where he claimed that a United Airlines flight attendant made his pregnant wife clean up a midair mess left by their toddler daughter, with many pointing out that it was his responsibility.[35][36]

On May 29, 2023, Bass again created controversy after he shared a video on instagram describing the selling of Pride-themed merchandise as “evil” and “demonic”, in which he endorsed boycotts of Bud Light, Target and potentially other corporations, calling on Christians to support it. He subsequently apologized to the media prior to the next home game, stating that he "made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine, and close family members of mine, and I’m truly sorry for that."[37][38]

Jays general manager Ross Atkins later confirmed to People that "the relief pitcher's stance had become a "distraction" in the clubhouse", causing his release from the club. It came days after Atkins said "the pitcher would not be disciplined, claiming Bass had been apologetic and “accountable” for his actions."[39]

Personal life

[edit]

On August 1, 2016, Bass married Sydney Rae James, sister of country singer Jessie James and sister in-law of Eric Decker in a private ceremony.
