Walter, Boehly- they run private equity and capital firms that are sucking societies dry. They buy sports clubs because they make a shit ton of feria. They do build winners, like with the dodgers, Chelsea FC. But throwing money doesn't erase how they capitalize on communities. $$ doesnt fix them

Small potatoes considering how everybody has to hire a lawyer

Pledges don’t mean shit. And the owner is spending 10,000 times that amount to buy the Lakers. Let’s see when they spend that milly and where they go from there. Not impressed with their PR BS.

“What’s happening in Los Angeles has reverberated among thousands upon thousands of people”

wasn’t expecting anything substantial from these foos but minimizing the impact of ice raids IN Los Angeles is really striking.

Shouldn’t have to take pressure from community for this to happen…I’m having said that - glad the pressure was applied!

Yep. But more is needed from them.

I'm looking forward to seeing what further announcements they're talking about.

So ICE was using Dodgers Stadium as a staging area, presumably with permission, then when protesters showed up, ICE called the police to rescue them and then the Dodgers rescind their permission and donate a small fraction of their proceeds from immigrants to help immigrants, whose land they stole?

Ok good on them for the effort, but $1million wont do much for the millions effected. Are each one gonna get 10 cents?

Glad they finally spoke on the issue. Here’s to hoping they won’t cave when the 🍊🌮 tweets a mean tweet at them.

They should be naming the cause of the “recent events”. The money is not enough and they need to stand up for the community.

Pledge more.

This is a pity donation. They are trying hard to fool the Latino community.

The owner of the Dodgers is worth 6.3 billion $. One million dollars is 0.02% of his net worth. For perspective: for a family with a net worth of $200,000 (the median family net worth in the US), 0.02% is $40.00.
Forty effing dollars.
The Dodgers doing this is swell but lets keep it in perspective.
