TSN radio host Matthew Ross said he’s deeply sorry for comments he made about Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk after facing backlash for body shaming the Toronto player.
Toronto Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk scores on a single hit by Matt Chapman during the fourth inning of a spring training baseball game against the Detroit Tigers, Thursday, March 31, 2022, in Dunedin, Fla.
“I want to sincerely apologize to Alejandro Kirk, Alek Manoah, the Toronto Blue Jays, Jays fans and anyone else offended by my initial tweet,” he said., the Blue Jays’ Twitter account posted a clip of Kirk running from first to home plate during a game in which the Jays would take home the win against the Tampa Bay Rays.
In his apology, Ross said he thought the original tweet with the video of Kirk running the bases was posted as a way to “poke fun" about the game. Ross called Manoah a great friend for defending his teammate and said he didn’t intend for his comments to offend people struggling with body image issues.
