With June - and Pride Month - having officially begun, Donnovan takes a look at the recent Blue Jays controversy surrounding relief pitcher Anthony Bass, who shared an anti-LGBTQ social media post on Instagram. He discusses the fallout from Bass' statement at Rogers Centre, including subsequent boos upon Bass' next relief appearance, and where both team and player go from here. Afterwards, Donnovan chats with Ted Lasso's Billy Harris (who plays Colin Hughes on the show) as the series comes to an end on the choice to include a storyline that deals with a queer athlete (8:58). Plus, we hear from Brock McGillis, who authors and narrates a Pride Month essay for Sportsnet.
