Following an O’Keefe Media Group undercover report, Sean Hudson, the Director of Community Relations for the Washington Nationals in Washington, DC, has been let go. Hudson had initially been placed on leave in the aftermath of the video. 

Sources told The Athletic on Friday, three days after the undercover video was released, that he had been let go. In the video, Hudson was heard admitting to discriminating against starting pitcher Trevor Williams due to his Catholic beliefs and the digital surveillance of fans who visit the stadium. 

Hudson said regarding Williams, “The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. [Williams] went on like a social media, like, ‘this is wrong, this is my religion, you all are mocking it.'” Hudson said that because Williams spoke out, “We don’t use him” for social media campaigns. 

Hudson also revealed that anyone who goes to a Nats game is being tracked by officials on the team. “If you ever come to a Nats game, there is someone on our team who’s responsible for figuring out everything about you, given your purchasing habits, what teams you come to when the Nats play, like what teams you come, and assigning you into a bucket of people and then catering content to you.” He said that if fans are accepting cookies, “we’re getting your, a plethora of your Google history.”

Following the report, it was revealed that Hudson had been placed on leave. In a message to an undercover journalist, he wrote, “I’m on leave right now – taking it day by day. They’ve been top notch in terms of support.”
