Anthony Bass, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, is making headlines for his recent social media posts regarding United Airlines. Bass took to his Twitter account to express his frustration with the airline after an incident involving his wife and children on a commercial flight. According to USA Today, Bass’s wife and children were flying with him when their 2-year-old daughter accidentally spilled popcorn on the plane. When his wife attempted to clean it up, a flight attendant informed her that it was not her responsibility and that she had to wait for a cleaning crew to do the job instead.
Bass was not pleased with how the situation was handled and took to Twitter to express his frustration. Sports Illustrated reports that his tweet read, “Thanks, United, for treating my pregnant wife like garbage on one of your flights today.” He later posted a photo of his daughter holding a bag of popcorn, seemingly mocking his detractors who criticized him for the incident.
However, not everyone was supportive of Bass’s tweets. The New York Post reports that the pitcher faced backlash from critics who challenged him over his complaint to United Airlines. Some accused him of overreacting to a minor incident, while others argued that it was not his wife’s responsibility to clean up the mess in the first place.
According to Life & Style, Bass is no stranger to controversy. The publication notes that he has been in the news before for his outspoken opinions on various topics. In this case, it seems that his frustration with the airline may have gotten the best of him. While some fans have rallied behind him, others have criticized his actions and urged him to think before he tweets.
As for Bass’s personal life, he is married to a woman named Sydney Rae Bass, who is currently 22 weeks pregnant. They have two children together, and the baseball player is reportedly worth around $5 million. Bass has not yet publicly commented on the controversy surrounding his recent tweets, but it remains to be seen how this incident will affect his career and public image moving forward.
