It was always just marketing. The real money is in embracing racism now.

Removing diversity while parading Jackie Robinson's name around every year.

I have followed up with MLB's Vice President of Communications for comment on this. Specifically, I asked him when, and why, Major League Baseball scrubbed the word "diversity" from its "inclusion" page and whose decision it was to do that.

MLB spends a lot of time and effort to pat itself on the back on Jackie Robinson Day every April 15. It should explain how it can do that while erasing the word "diversity" from its website and remaining silent as the Trump administration attempts to erase Jackie Robinson's history.

Just got this promo from MLB/Fanatics. Algorithm seeing Jackie mentions trigger this?

Jackie Robinson is probably the only baseball player that’s bigger than baseball to the extent that an average Brit (hi) knows who he is and why he’s important. This story is absolutely shocking.

I honestly thought that nothing could shock me in this vein. This has really thrown me for a loop.
