The Washington Nationals have dismissed their director of community relations and apologised to Catholic pitcher Trevor Williams after an undercover video showed the executive saying that the team limited Williams’s promotional use because of his public defence of the Catholic Faith.
Sean Hudson was removed from his post after footage released by O’Keefe Media Group on May 26 gained widespread attention. The video appeared to show Hudson discussing Williams, a practising Catholic who had criticised the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2023 decision to honour the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a drag activist group whose performances have been condemned by Catholics as mocking nuns, the Mass and sacred imagery.
