Washington Nationals have found themselves in an uncomfortable position after an undercover sting video released by O'Keefe Media Group allegedly captured shocking admissions by a top Nationals executive.
Director of Community Relations Sean Hudson was the official featured in the undercover footage, where he allegedly admitted that the organization had discriminated against Christian pitcher Trevor Williams over his religious beliefs.
Hudson allegedly pointed to Williams' criticism of the Los Angeles Dodgers for honoring a group he described as anti-Catholic as a reason why Williams was largely excluded from the team's social media content.
The remarks could raise concerns under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employers from discriminating against workers based on religion.
Hudson also claimed that every fan attending a Washington Nationals home game is reviewed by the organization's surveillance department, which looks into attendees' Google search histories.
He further described himself as a communist and said he wished the team could contribute to communist causes.
