The Washington Nationals have fired community relations director Sean Hudson following allegations that he engaged in religious discrimination against a team player, according to reports.

The dismissal came after a hidden camera video allegedly showed Hudson targeting pitcher Trevor Williams, who is described as a devout Catholic. The specific nature of the alleged discrimination and the circumstances surrounding the video recording have not been detailed in available reports.

Rep. Lauren Boebert has called on the Department of Justice to investigate the alleged religious discrimination against Williams by the Washington Nationals franchise. The congresswoman's request suggests the matter could potentially escalate beyond the team's internal disciplinary action.

The Washington Nationals organization has not publicly commented on the specific allegations or the circumstances that led to Hudson's termination. Williams, who has played for multiple MLB teams during his career, joined the Nationals organization previously.

The incident raises questions about workplace discrimination policies within professional sports organizations and the protection of players' religious rights. Federal employment discrimination laws prohibit workplace harassment or discrimination based on religion.
