Blue Jays Face Backlash Over Santander’s Anti-Muslim Posts

The Toronto Blue Jays are facing public backlash after outfielder Anthony Santander made a series of Islamophobic social media posts following the U.S. elections in November 2026. The incident adds to what has already been described as a particularly difficult year for the MLB franchise. The controversy appears connected to election results, including Abdul El-Sayed's victory in Michigan.
