This is the Internet Archive of the Jackie Robinson post that was removed. https://web.archive.org/web/20240915202349/https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/Story/Article/2490361/sports-heroes-who-served-baseball-great-jackie-robinson-was-wwii-soldier/

this is... even more bizarre because plenty of black players are still live in this series. including dusty! so jackie was just individually selected for removal? https://www.defense.gov/News/Feature-Stories/Story/Article/2649955/sports-heroes-who-served-baseball-legend-dusty-baker-served-in-marine-corps/

For Jackie DEI is in the url not for Dusty.

lindseyadler.bsky.social•101 days ago

that's incredibly funny, my god. call branch rickey if you want to complain about DEI.

sorry I misspoke. I think deleted pages are automatically deleted by the string “dei” contained in Jackie's url but not in Dusty Baker's url.

Apparently because of stuff like this.

There's an argument that Jackie was the best-fielding infielder in MLB history. But talking about him is just some DEI thing.

If you search "Jackie Robinson" on the site you get an article about Pee Wee Reece and how brave he was for being friends with Robinson. Which is so much worse.

Those bastards.

Delete the "dei" from the URL, copy and paste it into the WayBack Machine, and you can find the original page
