English term or phrase: (to) blackball
Definition from American Heritage Dictionary:
To shut out from social or commercial participation; ostracize or boycott.

Example sentence(s):
  • The mother says she will continue to post on her OnlyFans and seeks to enroll her kids in another Catholic school, one that’s less “judgmental.” She is only concerned the family may be blackballed from the diocese in Sacramento entirely. WWNYTV
  • The New York Yankees have enough holding them back each and every year. The media rides them like no other team. They’ve dealt with countless devastating injuries, untimely postseason performances, and getting blackballed on the trade market. Fansided
  • In interviews with more than 40 tradeswomen, most said they had been mistreated because of their sex. They spoke of men grabbing and groping women with impunity, of women being told to go home and work in the kitchen, of being given the most dangerous jobs and the jobs that kept them from learning valuable skills necessary for their careers. The uniformity of some of the stories of abuse was striking: Women who did speak up said they’d had their tools stolen or destroyed, that they been denied dispatches to jobs by their union, or that they’d been blackballed across their trade.

Definition from Езиков речник:
Не приемам; не намирам място в определена социална среда; обявявам бойкот на някого.

Example sentence(s):
  • Отхвърлянето е имало жизненоважна функция в нашето еволюционно минало. В епохата на лов и събирателство, да си отлъчен от племето е равносилно на смъртна присъда, тъй като е трудно да оцелееш дълго сам. - Обекти

Yes  Stella Ivanova: Както посочва и дефиницията от английския речник, значението е синоним на "остракизъм", т.е. отлъчване, изпъждане и т.н.
