It is deplorable to see the L.A. Dodgers crawl at Trump's feet to pay homage to him. While I always had a warm spot in my heart for the heirs of the team that left Brooklyn, they now disgust me.
I'm disgusted by the willingness of ANYONE to kiss the ring of this racist, sexist, ignorant, hateful felon. And especially so for people of color and those from other countries, who the racist, sexist, ignorant, hateful felon hates!
“I’m not a politician,” said Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts. “I’m doing something that teams have done for decades."
The teams that went to the White House before 2017 weren't pandering to a morally depraved president who fancies himself a king. And Roberts should perhaps be more careful when he uses history as a shield; after all, it wasn't THAT long ago that he wouldn't even have been considered to coach a major-league team.
I was born an Brooklyn Dodgers fan as most kids in Brooklyn were and remained a fervent fan until 1957 and while I can see the 1955 Dodgers making the trip South to the White House, I have a lot of trouble seeing that same team on a time travel making the same trip today and even less so now given the fan base and their roster. Why don't they all take a family-time out, this putz isn't worth sharing your victory with (+ hold on to your rings).
To be fair, Dave Roberts has been dead to me (+ a lot of other female ⚾ fans I know) since he defended keeping the violent rapist pitcher on the roster.
Could AT KEAST have said it was a management decision, but nah. Toed the company line, victim be damned..
And, as I recall, MLB suspended the dude the next day. Roberts trashed his reputation and told me everything I needed to know -- for zip.
Let's not forget the Dodgers rejected their Brooklyn community and disgraced themselves when they skipped out for more money to L.A., where they destroyed a Mexican community so they could build a new ballpark.
Read the article again. The author points out that Robinson stopped being a Republican because he saw through the sham of claiming they represented all Americans when they didn't.
Yes, they are cowards, but they are rich cowards. Isn't that all that counts these days? Sad.

In normal times, I can see this as respecting the presidency.
Only hoping that more players stay away....
Dodgers on the wrong side of what's right and good. Bowing to a false idol.

All of those who are kissing this incompetent, racist narcissist’s ring are deplorable. Bezos, Zuckerberg, McConnell, Johnson, Dodgers…all of them
Great article !
As I recall, Jackie Robinson was a life-long Republican, and a supporter of Richard "Tricky Dickie" Nixon????
