The "Jackie Robinson Day background" section of MLB's official press release about Jackie Robinson just notes that he was a first baseman for the Brooklyn Dodgers who debuted in 1947. Nothing about the how, the why.

This is a must-read on Jackie Robinson Day from @tribecalledlex.bsky.social.
The vast majority of MLB today isn't worthy of the #42 they'll pretend to celebrate tonight, especially the honour of wearing it on their backs.
I would love to be proven wrong.

Jackie Robinson Would Be Appalled
As baseball gets set to celebrate the trailblazer’s legacy, it’s also placating a president who wants to dismantle everything Jackie stood for

Wayne Gretzky is completely lost. You can’t interpret him choosing to watch that game with Patel as anything other than a direct statement towards the people criticizing him - the first statement he’s actually been brave enough to make.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism.

The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.

I know that the #Raptors are still a young team, but sooner or later they’re going to have to learn how to lose some of these tight games down the stretch.

Vladdy asked for a 15-year deal from the #BlueJays
For context: some players who were 26 in 2010: Troy Tulowitzki, Prince Fielder, Alex Gordon, Stephen Vogt, Tim Lincecum
Only 2(!) players that age are even signed to a Major League deal in 2025 - Scherzer & Justin Turner
That's a loooong contract

it would be great if we had a democratic party willing to go out and say “this is an insane lie to get you to irrationally hate a minority group trying to just exist peacefully” rather than start throwing us under the bus and twiddling their thumbs
