Open Letter to the L.A. Dodgers: Stand With the People of Los Angeles — Decline Any White House Invitation!

  5. I really hope they do decline any invite. They just cannot go after two people were murdered by Mango Mussolini’s gestapo.

  7. The visit is in April when they play the nationals. As much as people think this is a mess. They will remain apolitical just like the other organizations when they visit. They didn’t call out the Jim Crow south in the 50’s or 60’s during their many visits. I don’t think any team did. It’s about getting the recognition they deserve.

  8. I’m not telling others how to react or feel but for me personally if the Dodgers go to the WH I will personally be boycotting them. I love the team but I refuse to support any company or sporting team that actively supports Trump while he’s killing US citizens and disappearing entire families. No buying merch, going to games, or watching them on TV.

  10. It’s once in a life time opportunity to get invited by the White House for some of the players. It’s not for you to decide, it’s up to the players.

  12. Unfortunately Trump got over a million votes in LA county and around 25% of the votes in LA itself

    Edit: I said unfortunately. I didn’t vote for the clown. But there are many people who did. Some of which are Dodgers fans

  13. Signed and sent! I really wish the rest of the team said something. Can’t believe that it was only E. Hernandez that only spoke about these BS raids.

  14. I personally think it is a dumb idea go to go the WH no matter who is President. People hate politicians, and I don’t know why a sports team thinks it would be a good idea to be associated with them.

  15. It’s not on them, it’s on you. Stop trying to make every non-political entity and event political. Step out of your house and away from your keyboard and do the work yourself.

  16. I get why this is important to some people, but baseball is not the place for this.

    The dodgers fan base is as diverse as los angeles, keep politics out of it.

    You have the rest of reddit for this.

  17. 94% of baseball players are republicans or independents. Never meet your heroes folks.

  20. Honestly I’ll be sickened and disappointed if they go to the WH. This isn’t about the current president being Republican and me disagreeing with the current administration’s viewpoints. It’s about the current administration being fascist and destroying everything this country stands for.

    You can’t turn a blind eye to what’s going on in this country and be apolitical. It’s about being a decent human being and standing up to a tyrannical government. I’ve been a Dodger fan for over 25 years, through the ups and downs and I always stuck with them. If they go to the WH this year I’m afraid I can’t support that nor defend them. Hopefully they do the right thing. Nows not the time to be apolitical, nows the time to stand up to Fascism and be a decent person

  25. Not related just to this it bothers me how much of a coward Mookie has become. From sitting out the 2018 visit and speaking up for blm to licking the boot last year and streaming with fucking adin ross. Pathetic from him so disappointing

  31. appease the nazis or they’ll take sht from you. Walter knows. Rich players know.

    Dodgers will be completely on board with the nazis even after they went in LA and harassed the fan base.
