How can you support an administration that (among other atrocities) whitewashed the Jackie Robinson story??
@dodgersdigest.bsky.social this who we are?
Gets the maga wrath. Dodgers ownership can’t think that’s best for business
If there is no other reason to boycott the WH, this is a good one.
I do wonder how much pressure the foreign-born players feel to accept, though, given the wave of illegal deportations recently.
Hiding under "long-standing tradition" and "respecting the office", ETC-- this is "acceptable" to more people than it should (especially/namely, white people) be.
Not everyone capitulates tho.
