Ex-Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman rips Anthony Bass after LGBTQ controversy - Toronto Sun

Outspoken former Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman has weighed in on the Anthony Bass controversy — or so it appears.

Responding to a link to a Toronto Star story on Bass’ apology over the Jays reliever’s sharing sharing of an inflammatory anti-2SLGBTQ+ post earlier this week, the Cubs pitcher didn’t hold back.

“None of his teammates or staff want him in their locker room,” Stroman tweeted on Wednesday morning.

The remark shouldn’t come as a surprise from Stroman, who was dealt from the Jays in 2019 after a bitter end to his time with the team. But it’s also an indication that the turmoil surrounding Bass isn’t likely to disappear any time soon.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

On Tuesday, Bass issued a brief and contrite apology for the incident — which blew up after he shared the post on Monday.

“As of right now, I am using the Blue Jays’ resources to better educate myself to make better decisions going forward,” Bass said in a short meeting with the media. “The ball park is for everybody. We include all fans at the ballpark. We want to welcome everybody.”

Prior to that, the pitcher apologized to manager John Schneider and general manager Ross Atkins, then did the same addressing the team in the clubhouse. Though Stroman is four seasons removed from his time with the club, he has remained in contact with some on the roster.

The timing of the Bass affair couldn’t be worse for the Jays, who have elaborate and heavily marketed plans for a Pride Weekend on June 9-10.

In addressing his reliever, manager John Schneider bluntly said that the actions of Bass don’t “represent our overall feelings as an organization.”

Though the team didn’t make any senior management available to discuss Bass, it issued the following statement on request from the Toronto Sun.

In part it reads “individual player sentiments are not representative of the club’s beliefs.”

NHL free-agent frenzy: A look at some of the players poised to hit the open market July 1 - The Globe and Mail

Toronto Maple Leafs centre Ryan O'Reilly celebrates after scoring a goal during Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, in Tampa, Fla., on April 22.The Associated Press

The NHL’s free-agent frenzy is back in its regular time-slot.

After three years of schedule disruptions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the league’s signing period returns to July 1.

And while there might not be as many big names on the board as usual, general managers looking to upgrade or round out rosters should still have plenty of talent to choose from in the unrestricted free agent pool – from aging stars to role players to veteran goaltenders.

With a month to go until the opening bell sounds on Canada Day at noon ET, The Canadian Press takes a look at some of the names poised to hit the market:

Ryan O’Reilly (2022-23 salary cap hit: US$7.5-million)

The 32-year-old centre was acquired by Toronto from St. Louis in mid-February as part of a blockbuster deal prior to the NHL trade deadline. O’Reilly, who won the Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019, helped the Maple Leafs win a playoff series for the first time since 2004 and remains a valuable asset down the middle. Limited by injuries last season, the 2019 Conn Smythe Trophy winner as post-season MVP registered 16 goals and 30 points in 53 games in 2022-23. He added three goals and nine points in 11 playoff contests.

Patrick Kane (2022-23 salary cap hit: $10.5-million)

The 34-year-old winger bid farewell to the Chicago Blackhawks when he was shipped to the New York Rangers ahead of the deadline. The three-time Cup winner had 21 goals and 57 points in 73 games last season. He also scored once and assisted on five others in the Rangers’ first-round playoff exit. Kane is no longer the player who got the Conn Smythe nod in 2013 and the Hart Trophy three years later as NHL MVP, but can still drive offence from the wing.

Vladimir Tarasenko (2022-23 salary cap hit: $7.5-million)

Another deadline acquisition by the Rangers, the winger had 18 goals and 50 points in 69 combined games with New York and St. Louis in 2022-23. Tarasenko, a Cup winner with O’Reilly and the Blues, put up a goal and three assists in the playoffs for the Rangers. The 31-year-old has played more than 75 contests just once in the past five seasons because of various injuries.

Tyler Bertuzzi (2022-23 salary cap hit: $4.75-million)

The 28-year-old winger combined to put up eight goals and 30 points in 50 games with the Detroit Red Wings and Boston Bruins in 2022-23. Bertuzzi, who had a 30-goal season in 2021-22, added 10 points in the Bruins’ first-round upset at the hands of the Florida Panthers. He’s also had injury trouble, appearing in a full slate of games just once in his five full NHL seasons.

Dmitry Orlov (2022-23 salary cap hit: $5.1-million)

Shipped from Washington to Boston at the trade deadline, the 31-year-old leads the UFA defence corps after registering seven goals and 36 points in 66 games with the Capitals and Bruins. The left-shot blueliner had 17 points in 23 regular-season contests for Boston to go along with eight assists in seven playoff appearances.

Matt Dumba (2022-23 salary cap hit: $6-million)

The 28-year-old defenceman appears poised to leave the Minnesota Wild after being drafted seventh overall by the organization in 2012. The right-shooting Dumba put up a career-low four goals and 14 points in 79 games in 2022-23.

Damon Severson (2022-23 salary cap hit: $4.166-million)

Another right-shot blueliner, the 28-year-old could be moving on from the New Jersey Devils after nine seasons. Severson had seven goals and 33 points in 81 games in 2022-23.

Michael Bunting (2022-23 salary cap hit: $950K)

The gritty winger finally broke through in the NHL with his hometown Maple Leafs thanks to consecutive 23-goal seasons. Drafted in the fourth round by Arizona in 2014, the fiery 27-year-old plays on the line, and sometimes crosses it, as witnessed by his three-game suspension in the playoffs with Toronto.

Tristan Jarry (2022-23 salary cap hit: $3.5-million)

The 28-year-old goaltender’s time in Pittsburgh could be coming to an end. A second-round pick of the Penguins in 2013, Jarry has a career save percentage of .914 to go along with a 2.65 goals against average.

Frederik Andersen (2022-23 salary cap hit: $4.5-million)

The 33-year-old is coming off two solid seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes, including a .927 save percentage and a 1.83 GAA in the 2023 playoffs. Other goaltenders primed to potentially hit the UFA market include Adin Hill of the Vegas Golden Knights, Semyon Varlamov of the New York Islanders, Joonas Korpisalo of the Los Angeles Kings, and Cam Talbot of the Ottawa Senators.

Pride Toronto director says Blue Jays have opportunity after Anthony Bass apology - CP24

Pride Toronto executive director Sherwin Modeste feels the Toronto Blue Jays have an opportunity to turn a player's negative action into a positive.

Blue Jays reliever Anthony Bass apologized Tuesday for expressing support on social media for anti-2SLGBTQ+ boycotts of Target and Bud Light. A day earlier, he shared an Instagram post urging others to spurn the companies over the support they showed for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

"I think (the team can) just continue to do what is right and continue to respect diversity and continue to spread love, continue to show their support for the 2SLGBTQ community," Modeste said.

"But at the same time, they also have a responsibility to hold all of their staff, all of their players, everyone that's associated with the Jays, they need to hold them accountable and that I would leave for them to manage."

Bass spoke outside the home dugout at Rogers Centre before the Blue Jays' series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.

He prefaced his remarks by saying "I'll make this quick," before delivering a statement that lasted 33 seconds.

Bass said he was "truly sorry" for the post and that he'd use team resources to better educate himself, adding "the ballpark is for everybody."

The 35-year-old native of Dearborn, Mich., who has more than 33,000 followers on Instagram, did not take questions.

Modeste said the amplification of a hateful social media post can have a significant impact.

"Let's also think about the young person that might be a prospect or might potentially be the next baseball player," he told The Canadian Press. "And seeing this can deter them. So we need to find opportunities to strengthen our community, not to bring our community down."

General manager Ross Atkins and team president Mark Shapiro were not made available to speak with reporters.

The annual Blue Jays Pride weekend is set for June 9-10. A rainbow flag jersey giveaway was planned and other details were to be released next week.

"Pride Toronto has a very good relationship with the Jays," Modeste said. "I personally have worked very closely with the Jays Care Foundation and I know what they stand for because we have been part of this journey together. I don't believe that one individual is going to change what the Jays are going to do and what the Jays have been doing for the community.

"But ultimately they're going to have to make a decision on who do they want on the team and how do they want to be seen and reflected in the community."

Bass apologized to Atkins and Blue Jays manager John Schneider earlier Tuesday. He also apologized to his teammates as a group at the skipper's prompting.

Since Bass did not speak publicly beyond his brief statement, Schneider was left to handle a series of media questions during a pre-game availability in his office.

"I think the message to the fan base is that we have and will continue to be a huge part of the Pride community," he said. "We're looking forward to the ninth and 10th of June. (This situation) doesn't represent our overall feelings as an organization. We love our fans and we love all the support that we get.

"It was unfortunate that (this) happened. If they take anything, it's that the accountability was there and the awareness of how it made people feel was there."

Bass has played for six other teams over his 12-year big-league career.

"As a man, you stand up and you apologize for what you did," Schneider said. "I think that's a really good first step."

Earlier this year, Bass sparked criticism when he tweeted to complain that a flight attendant had asked his pregnant wife to clean up popcorn their toddler dropped on the floor during a flight.

The right-hander also played for Toronto in the 2020 season.

Treliving to be hired as Leafs general manager - TSN

The Toronto Maple Leafs are set to hire Brad Treliving as their next general manager, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

"All signs are indicating that Brad Treliving will be the next general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs," said Dreger. "What I'm told is that the process is nearing its end.

"And if you go back to the beginning of this process headed by [Leafs president] Brendan Shanahan, he spent a lot of time with Brad Treliving. He likes the fact there is a high level of experience there."

The 53-year-old spent nine seasons as general manager of the Calgary Flames before parting ways with the organization in April ahead of his contract expiring June 30.

With Treliving at the helm, Calgary reached the postseason five times during his tenure, ending a five-year playoff drought in his first season in 2014-15. The Flames, however, won just two playoff rounds over those five appearances.

"Now there's some work that has to be done contractually but again all indications are that the process is about over for Brendan Shanahan and the Toronto Maple Leafs and Treliving will be Toronto's next GM," said Dreger.

Treliving was reportedly the front-runner to take over the role as the Maple Leafs pursued an experienced candidate to replace Kyle Dubas.

He inherits a long to-do list in Toronto, with Auston Matthews’ name likely at the top of it. Matthews is eligible for an extension as of July 1, the same day his no-trade clause will kick in for the final year of his current contract.

"Really, all there has been is a mountain of speculation – since Kyle Dubas and the Maple Leafs parted ways – about what this might mean for Auston Matthews, whether it’s likely or more likely to get a deal," TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston said on Insider Trading on May 23. "What I can tell you is nothing has changed since the last time we heard Auston Matthews speak in front of the cameras. It’s his intention to remain in Toronto as he said on locker cleanout day.

"Really, at this point in time, he’s just sitting back and watching and seeing how this plays out. Him and his agent need to get all the data here. Who is the new general manager? What is his or her vision for the team? Who’s coaching the team? All the roster decisions that are coming. I think it’s obviously going to take some time for that to shake loose.

"I should mention as well that the Leafs top players, in their discussions with [team president] Brendan Shanahan, were told that they are not likely to be moved, that the vision right now is the core four will be back next year. So that obviously includes Auston Matthews."

Shanahan announced earlier this month that Dubas would not return with his contract also set to expire at the end of June. Dubas spent the past five seasons as general manager, having taken over the role from Lou Lamoriello in 2018.

Blue Jays swing into damage control on Anthony Bass' anti-LGBTQ+ Instagram post - Toronto Sun

Get the latest from Rob Longley straight to your inbox

It may have been ignorance or insincerity. Or perhaps it was just a well-scripted apology to afford Anthony Bass a perceived easy escape route from a mess of his own making that could follow the Blue Jays deep into the next month.

A month, by the way, that the team has elaborate and heavily marketed plans to celebrate its commitment to inclusion as it applies to the LGBTQ+ community.

Whatever it was, the four words with which the Jays relief pitcher began his apology to fans and the Pride community weren’t exactly warm in sentiment.

“I’ll make this quick,” Bass said before his 35-second, carefully crafted statement was delivered with little emotion to the “Pride community.”

While he said some of the right things, the media was told Bass would not be taking questions, again hoping for a clean and quick exit.

The reality is, however, that there’s a good chance that nothing will be a quick fix for the player or the organization, which was tellingly quiet by not addressing the issue and not allowing Bass to be questioned for his actions.

So of course there’s a chance this won’t end well.

“I recognize yesterday I made a post that was hurtful to the Pride community, which includes friends of mine and close family members of mine and I’m truly sorry for that,” Bass said, stern-faced, when he addressed the media just outside the Jays dugout. “I just spoke to my teammates and shared with them my actions yesterday and I apologized with them.

“As of right now I’m using the Blue Jays resources to better educate myself and to make better decisions going forward.”

Bass’ dive into hot water began on Monday when the pitcher’s Instagram account shared a video from a user whose feed encourages Christians to boycott Target and Budweiser in protest of those companies’ support of the LGBTQ+ community.

The reaction was rightfully swift and not a good look for the team. Bass and the Jays were subsequently criticized both on social and mainstream media, especially in light of the team’s planned celebrations for Pride Month, a worthy initiative by the club.

The Jays clearly hope it will be go away before the June 9-10 Pride weekend at the ballpark, which it has been advertising heavily.

The team did say in a statement that, “Individual player sentiments are not representative of the club’s beliefs.”

Jays manager John Schneider addressed the issue on Tuesday afternoon while he was trying to prepare his struggling team for a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

To his credit, Schneider was forthright with his comments, noting that a simple apology from Bass can’t be the end of the reparation. And the manager was the one person in the organization willing to put on the big boy pants and venture into territory Bass wouldn’t (or, perhaps, wasn’t allowed to by the team when he didn’t take questions).

“First and foremost, it’s not a 12- or 15-second fix,” Schneider said. “We’re not going to pretend like this never happened. We’re not going to pretend like this is the end of it and move on. There’s definitely more steps that are going to follow.”

Schneider took a leadership role in addressing the issue where others in the organization failed miserably. In fact, it was the manager’s initiative to get Bass to address his teammates.

“The first thing he did was apologize to me and (GM Ross Atkins),” Schneider said. “I thought it would be a good idea to tell it to his teammates as well. It takes a lot to stand up in front of them to say, ‘I screwed up.’

“I thought it would be good for him to let everyone know that at once, as opposed to intermittent conversations during the day.”

Where it goes from here is anyone’s guess, though few would be surprised if the fallout lingers. Bass is still part of the Jays relief core and he will set up shop in the bullpen, the area that now has fans right on top of it at the remodelled Rogers Centre.

Are the Jays concerned that the fallout will be a distraction? Not for now, at least.

“I don’t think it will be in the clubhouse,” Schneider said. “I think his apology was authentic and powerful to both the coaching staff and his teammates.

“When it comes to how a fan base views you, whether it’s a player or a manager, you have to own up to things that you do,” Schneider said. “And you have to recognize when you do things that are hurtful or wrong, and you have to admit that and have things that you do going forward that won’t allow that to happen again.”

How Golden Knights reached Stanley Cup Final - NHL.com

The Vegas Golden Knights are in the Stanley Cup Final for the second time in six seasons since joining the NHL as an expansion team in 2017-18.

The Golden Knights advanced with a 6-0 victory against the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final on Monday and will play the Florida Panthers in Game 1 of the Cup Final at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; TNT, TBS, truTV, SN, CBC, TVAS).

Owner Bill Foley set a goal before Vegas debuted in the NHL: Make the Stanley Cup Playoffs in three seasons and win the Stanley Cup in six.

The Golden Knights almost got it done in one. Not only did they make the playoffs in their inaugural season, but they made the Cup Final, losing to the Washington Capitals in five games.

They have pursued the Cup aggressively ever since, parting with popular coaches and players, adding high-end talent and pushing the limits of the NHL salary cap.

They lost to the San Jose Sharks in seven games of the 2019 Western Conference First Round, the Stars in five games of the 2020 conference final and the Montreal Canadiens in six games of the 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals.

After missing the playoffs for the first time last season largely because of injuries, they won the West in the regular season and the playoffs, defeating the Winnipeg Jets in five games, the Edmonton Oilers in six and the Stars.

Now they have a chance to achieve Foley's goal and win the Cup in their sixth season.

Here are some highlights for the Golden Knights on the road to the Stanley Cup Final:

BEST MOMENT: The Golden Knights took a stranglehold on the conference final in Game 3 after Dallas captain Jamie Benn cross-checked Vegas captain Mark Stone at 1:53 of the first period, receiving a major penalty and game misconduct (and later a two-game suspension). Forward Ivan Barbashev scored on the ensuing power play for a 2-0 lead at 5:57. Vegas went on to win 4-0 and take a 3-0 series lead.

Video: VGK@DAL, Gm3: Barbashev, Roy team up to score PPG

TURNING POINT: It might have been a different series had Dallas held on to a 2-1 lead late in Game 2, but Stars defenseman Ryan Suter threw the puck around the end boards in the Dallas zone. Barbashev got to the puck and sent it to center Jack Eichel behind the goal line. Eichel made a beautiful pass in front and forward Jonathan Marchessault tied the game 2-2 with 2:22 to go. Center Chandler Stephenson scored at 1:12 of overtime to give Vegas a 3-2 win and 2-0 series lead.

BEST MOVES MADE: The Golden Knights acquired Eichel in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 4, 2021, and allowed him to have a neck surgery that had never been done before on an NHL player. Eichel came back to play 34 games in 2021-22, but the move really paid dividends this season, giving the Golden Knights the No. 1 center they had lacked. Now Eichel, in his first NHL playoff run, leads Vegas in playoff scoring with 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in 17 games. The other big move was replacing coach Peter DeBoer with Bruce Cassidy this season. Vegas tightened defensively in the regular season and has been hard to play against during the playoffs, keeping opponents to the outside. And how about the addition of Barbashev in a trade with the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 26? He has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 17 games, tied with Stone for third on Vegas.

BEST MOVES NOT MADE: The Golden Knights have been bold about making changes to the coaching staff and roster, but the management team has been stable since the beginning. At first, George McPhee was president of hockey operations and general manager, and Kelly McCrimmon was assistant GM. McCrimmon was then promoted to GM effective Sept. 1, 2019. They have been an excellent team in building an excellent team.

SIGNATURE WIN (REGULAR SEASON): The Boston Bruins lost only 17 games in the regular season (12 in regulation, five in overtime), including seven at home (four in regulation, three in OT), on the way to setting NHL records for wins (65) and points (135). But the Golden Knights defeated them 4-3 in a shootout at TD Garden on Dec. 5, which ended an NHL-record 14-game home winning streak to start a season. It was also Cassidy's first game against the Bruins since they fired him June 6 after six seasons.

SIGNATURE WIN (PLAYOFFS): The Golden Knights let their 3-0 series lead slip to 3-2 by losing Games 4 and 5. DeBoer, now coach of the Stars, said the pressure had shifted to the Golden Knights because another loss would have meant a Game 7. Well, so much for that. Vegas dominated to clinch a trip to the Cup Final.

MVP: Eichel is an easy answer, but center William Karlsson leads Vegas with 10 goals in the playoffs and has played a key defensive role. Another candidate is Marchessault, whose nine goals and 17 points each rank second and three game-winning goals are tied with Stephenson for the team lead.

BIGGEST SURPRISE: Adin Hill is technically Vegas' fourth goalie, after the injured Robin Lehner, Logan Thompson and Laurent Brossoit. When Brossoit left Game 3 of the second round, Hill took over. He hadn't played since March 7, and had never played in the Stanley Cup Playoffs before. All he's done is go 7-3 with a 2.07 goals-against average, .937 save percentage and two shutouts.

Heat crush Celtics in Game 7 to avoid series collapse, advance to NBA Finals - TSN

BOSTON (AP) — No unprecedented comeback, no last-tick miracle, no cavalcade of higher seeds is going to prevent these Miami Heat from playing for the NBA title.

Eastern Conference finals Most Valuable Player Jimmy Butler scored 28 points, and Caleb Martin had 26 points and 10 rebounds to help the eighth-seeded Heat beat Boston 103-84 in Game 7 on Monday night and advance to the NBA Finals for the second time in four seasons.

A year after losing a seventh game to the Celtics, Miami recovered from blowing a 3-0 lead in the series and advanced to face the Western Conference champion Nuggets.

Game 1 is Thursday night in Denver, where the top-seeded Nuggets have been waiting since sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers on May 22.

“We stayed together as a group. As a team, we talked about going and getting a tough one on the road. We did just that,” Butler said. "But we’re not satisfied. We’re excited. We’re happy. But we’ve got one more to get.”

Bam Adebayo scored 12 points with 10 rebounds for Miami, which is the first No. 8 seed to reach the NBA Finals since the 1999 New York Knicks.

To get there, the Heat had to recover after losing the play-in opener against Atlanta and beat Chicago in a second-chance play-in. They eliminated the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks in five games, then the fifth-seeded Knicks in six.

They put Boston in a 3-0 hole — a deficit no NBA team has ever come back from. Three losses later, Miami was on the brink of the wrong kind of history.

“Sometimes you have to suffer for the things that you really want," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "This group has shown fortitude, when there are inevitable letdowns and failures, to have that perseverance to pick yourself up, to have that collective spirit to keep on forging ahead until you get to accomplish what you want to.”

Game 6 hero Derrick White scored 18 for Boston, which was hoping to become the first NBA team in 151 tries to advance after falling behind 3-0 in a best-of-seven series. Jaylen Brown scored 19 with eight rebounds but went 1-for-9 from 3-point range and committed eight turnovers.

Jayson Tatum, who scored a Game 7 record 51 points against Philadelphia in the conference semis, had 14 points with 11 rebounds after turning his ankle on the first play of the game and limping through 42 minutes.

“When we were down 3-0, the thing was: How do we want to be defined?” said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla, who took over the team on the eve of training camp when Ime Udoka was suspended for inappropriate workplace behaviour. “I thought they showed a lot of character by even getting to this point.”

The Celtics led by five points early before conceding a 14-4 run to end the first quarter and then giving up 16 of the first 22 points in the second. Miami led 76-66 lead at the end of three, then Tatum missed a layup to open the fourth quarter, and Brown followed with back-to-back turnovers; at the other end, Martin hit a 3-pointer and Butler hit a pair of baskets to give Miami an 83-66 lead.

Boston never got with 15 after that, with the sold-out TD Garden crowd alternating between stunned silence, angry boos and, finally, polite applause before they began filing out early.

“We failed. I failed and we let the whole city down," Brown said. “In spite of whatever circumstance we had this year we rose to the occasion. We got to this point and we came up short.”

The Heat took the first three games — two of them in Boston — and needed just one more win to reach to the NBA Finals. None of the 150 teams that have opened a 3-0 lead in an NBA playoff series has ever failed to advance.

But the Celtics hyped themselves up by watching a documentary on the Boston Red Sox comeback from a 3-0 deficit against the New York Yankees on their way to the 2004 World Series. When the Celtics took the floor for Game 4 in Miami, former Yankees Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were sitting courtside.

Boston won Games 4 and 5 by double digits and had a cushy lead in Game 6 before Miami rallied back to take a one-point lead with 3 seconds left. The Heat appeared to clinch it when Marcus Smart’s desperation 3-pointer rimmed out, but White scored on a put back in the final 10th of a second to force a decisive seventh game.

Back at home, the Celtics greeted their fans with a pre-game video intercutting highlights from the Red Sox comeback with their own. And 2004 Red Sox catalyst Kevin Millar recorded a message to hype up the crowd.

But the heavily favoured Celtics couldn't repeat the feat.

“The hole we put ourselves in, it’s hard. No one’s climbed out of that hole,” said Malcolm Brogdon, who returned after missing Game 6 with an elbow injury but scored zero points in seven minutes. “It was the same tonight: We couldn’t climb out of the hole we created.

"I thought we showed how resilient we were, how good of a team we are, climbing out of it partially. But not being able to finish it on your home floor? That’s super disappointing.”

Instead, the Heat overcame the disappointment of 2022, when they lost to the Celtics in Game 7 of the conference finals on their home floor.

“Last year was extremely painful,” Spoelstra said. "We thought about it all season long. And if you don’t have an opponent like that to bring you to a different level, sometimes you don’t get there.”

Sail Canada says coach fired because lack of money, not pregnancy - CBC Sports

Lisa Ross wants her job back.

The two-time Olympic sailor for Canada was named to the national sailing team's coaching staff three years ago.

Nine days after telling Sail Canada in March she was pregnant and would take maternity leave later this year, Ross was fired.

Ross was in Andora, Italy, where she'd been coaching Canadian sailors at the European championship. She was about to head to Spain for more competitions and training camps.

The 46-year-old from Mahone Bay, N.S., said during the March 17 video call with Sail Canada's chief executive officer Don Adams and high-performance director Mike Milner, she was told to pack her bags and return to Canada.

"It was strange and shocking," Ross told The Canadian Press. "It was a five-minute phone call where I was fired, basically, without cause.

"I was in Europe. I was in the middle of a planned six-week trip."

Sail Canada said lack of money, and not Ross's pregnancy, was the reason for her firing.

"Sail Canada terminated Lisa Ross's contract for financial reasons which had nothing to do with Lisa Ross being pregnant," the organization said in a statement to The Canadian Press.

"Discussions and the decision to terminate Lisa Ross's contract took place well before she verbally informed Sail Canada high performance director that she was pregnant.

$80,000 annual salary

Sail Canada said Ross's salary was supported by Sport Canada Gender Equity funding, which was eliminated at the end of the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

"Sail Canada was able to maintain Lisa Ross's position in the next fiscal year through the Return to Sport funding program but, unfortunately, that funding is no longer available in 2023-2024," the organization said.

Ross's annual salary was $80,000. The federal government renewed its funding for gender equity in sport in October with a commitment of $25.3 million over three years.

"This is not available at present, but we have been informed it may be some time in the future," Sail Canada said in a statement. "We do not know if female coaching will be part of the areas of funding.

Sail Canada said it made its decision to fire Ross "because of financial reasons based on the information available at the time of budget finalization."

I would have liked the opportunity, if funding was the issue, to visit any possibility of ensuring I can continue in my role ...— Former Sail Canada coach Lisa Ross on her firing

"With the 2023-2024 Olympic season fast approaching, and in order for Sail Canada to prioritize Olympic hopefuls and maintain a balanced budget, Sail Canada has to make drastic cuts to its high-performance budget."

Sail Canada said it sought a Nova Scotia labour lawyer's advice on Feb. 21 to vet the decision to dismiss Ross.

Ross departed for Europe at the end of February and had no inkling her job was on the chopping block until she was sacked March 17.

"I just would have liked the opportunity, if funding was the issue, to visit any possibility of ensuring that I can continue in my role as one of the more senior coaches on the staff," Ross said.

Sail Canada said it waited until after the European championship March 10-17 to fire her "so that it would not become a distraction for the athletes."

Another female hired on contract basis

Ross was the only woman on Sail Canada's technical staff of a high-performance director and coaches.

Since her dismissal, Rosie Chapman was hired on a contract basis.

Chapman is partially subsidized by athletes and costs 20 per cent of a full-time salary, Sail Canada said.

Ross competed for Canada in 2004 in Athens in women's three-person keelboat and 2008 in Beijing in women's dinghy.

She coached laser sailor Brenda Bowskill at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ross was named the Canadian sailing team's development coach in 2020, but she coached the senior men's laser team that year.

Ross didn't coach at Tokyo's Olympics in 2021. She was on maternity leave with her second child.

She was coaching the 49er FX women's development team when she was fired. Her third child is due Sept. 1.

She'd planned to continue coaching until August when she could no longer fly.

Ross intended to be back with the athletes in time for January's world championship and to help prepare them for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. She says she communicated that plan to Sail Canada the day she told the organization she was pregnant.

Milner replied that same day: "You should also know Rosie and I have been talking on and off for more than a year on joining our team and I think this is a great opportunity for the girls while you are on mat leave."

Lawsuit not filed against Sail Canada

Milner also wrote in that email to Ross that his "initial thought" would be to have Chapman become the international coach after April's Princess Sofia or Hyeres regattas "and focus you on domestic training."

Ross has filed claims with Nova Scotia's Labour Standards Board and Human Rights Commission but has not sued Sail Canada.

"I'm not asking for a massive amount of money," Ross said. "I'm asking for my job back."

The World Sailing Trust recently launched a half-dozen recommendations under an initiative called Project Juno to "support better maternity policies in sailing."

While Sail Canada insists her pregnancy did not cost Ross her job, it says the organization has pregnancy and parental leave policy "that is in keeping with the Ontario Employment Standards Act" and subject to Sport Canada's Athletes Assistance Program policies and procedures.

Ross says she has never seen that policy.

She hasn't filed a complaint with the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC), which was established almost a year ago to administer Canadian sport's universal code of conduct. Sail Canada is a signatory to OSIC.

"I want my job back, so I want to focus on that," Ross said. "I want to be a part of the sport system that I've been a part of since I was 17.

"I went to my first Pan Am Games when I was 17. It's been a scary process to go through, just even with my relationship with Sail Canada because that's been a huge part of my life and I want that to continue."

World No. 10 Auger-Aliassime makes 1st-round exit at French Open - CBC Sports

Denis Shapovalov advanced to the second round, while fellow Canadians Felix Auger-Aliassime and Rebecca Marino each earned early exits at the French Open on Monday.

Auger-Aliassime, ranked 10th in the world, was upset 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 by Italian Fabio Fognini.

"I got a bit sick last night, didn't really sleep," Auger-Aliassime said after the match in Paris. "Yeah, sick all night. That's just a reality."

Auger-Aliassime entered the tournament after pulling out of last week's Lyon Open with a shoulder injury.

He was unable to find his best against Fognini, a former top-10 player.

Battling a stomach issue, 10th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal lost to Italy's Fabio Fognini 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 in the first round of the French Open.

"After one set [I was] just cramping and just [couldn't] move anymore." Auger-Aliassime said. "I wasn't sure whether I should keep going or give myself a shot or if I should stop. It was a difficult time, but it's OK. I just need to get healthy again."

Fognini converted eight of nine breakpoint opportunities in his first French Open win against a top-10 player.

Shapovalov exhaled visibly as he watched Brandon Nakashima's return sail out of play.

Nakashima's unforced error capped a 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3 win for the mercurial Shapovalov on Monday in first-round action.

Shapovalov needs nearly 4 hours to pull out win

Shapovalov, seeded 26th in Paris, served to love in a final game that contrasted an uneven match featuring big swings in momentum.

The 24-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., had to overcome dips in form and a medical timeout to claim the win over Nakashima — an American up-and-comer and winner of last year's Next Generation ATP Finals — in a marathon time of three hours 47 minutes.

Number 26 seed Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., beat American Brandon Nakashima 6-4, 7-5, 4-6, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to the second round of the French Open.

Shapovalov, a former world No. 10, is looking to return to form at the clay Grand Slam. He took a disappointing 7-9 record into Paris.

"Finding my way back," Shapovalov posted on Twitter following the match.

Shapovalov committed 15 double faults and 68 unforced errors in the match, but he also fired 50 winners to Nakashima's 28 and forced the American into 53 errors, including one to complete a crucial break to go up 3-1 in the fifth set.

Shapovalov will meet Italy's Matteo Arnaldi in the second round.

It will be Shapovalov's first meeting on the ATP Tour with Arnaldi, ranked 106th in the world.

Shapovalov joined Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., in the second round. Fernandez upset 21st-seed Magda Linette 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 on Sunday and is scheduled to face Denmark's Clara Tauson in second-round action on Wednesday.

Vancouver's Marino dropped a 6-3, 7-5 decision to Russia's Diana Shnaider in women's singles play.

Marino fired four aces but was successful on just 47 per cent of her first serves.

Victorious Alcaraz, Djokovic face brief trouble

Pretty much everyone expects to see, and likely wants to see, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic face each other in the French Open semifinals. There's work to be done first, of course, and both began their journeys at Roland Garros with straight-set victories Monday against opponents making Grand Slam debuts.

These were supposed to be straightforward chances to ease into the clay-court tournament for the two popular picks to win the men's trophy -- and it turned out that way, other than a brief late blip for each.

Djokovic, a 22-time major champ seeded No. 3, was up first in Court Philippe Chatrier, facing 114th-ranked Aleksandar Kovacevic, a 24-year-old from New York.

Djokovic served for the victory at 5-4 in the third set but got broken there. Not surprisingly, he quickly righted himself and won 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (1).

"Made me work for my victory," Djokovic said.

"I played really well and held things under control for 2 ½ sets and then lost my serve and things got a little bit on a wrong side for me," said the 36-year-old Serb, who can break the men's mark for most Slam titles he currently shares with Rafael Nadal, the 14-time French Open winner sidelined by a bad hip. "But I managed to hold my nerves and played pretty much a perfect tiebreak."

Next came Alcaraz, a one-time major champ seeded No. 1, in Court Suzanne Lenglen, facing 159th-ranked qualifier Flavio Cobolli, a 21-year-old from Florence, Italy.

Alcaraz held three match points to close things at 5-3 in the third set but couldn't convert, then found himself at 5-all minutes later. Not surprisingly, he quickly righted himself and won 6-0, 6-2, 7-5.

Before the start of the tournament, Djokovic called Alcaraz the logical pick to take the trophy, given his recent form on clay: 21-2 as of Monday, with three titles.

Stephens leads 4 U.S. women into 2nd round

Back on her "favourite court in the world," Sloane Stephens looked sharp in her opening match at the French Open with a 6-0, 6-4 win over two-time major finalist Karolina Pliskova.

While Stephens' only Grand Slam title came at the 2017 U.S. Open, she's also had sustained success at Roland Garros, finishing as a runner-up to Simona Halep in 2018 and reaching two quarterfinals on the red clay in Paris -- including last year.

Madison Keys, the runner-up to Stephens in New York six years ago and a semifinalist at Roland Garros in 2018, beat Kaia Kanepi 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 to improve her career record in the first round of majors to 35-5.

Keys next plays American qualifier Kayla Day, who eliminated French wild-card entry Kristina Mladenovic 7-5, 6-1.

Also, Croatian-born American Bernarda Pera beat former No. 2-ranked Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (6), 6-2.
